A sit-on kayak model is best for fishing. There is more room to store gear, and for safety reasons, the sit-in kayak is not recommended for young children.

These models are the best for fishing because you’ll have more space to store your fishing gear. For safety reasons, the sit-in type of kayak is not recommended for young anglers. The sit-in kayak is designed to keep you from falling out of the boat in such instances as shooting down a white water river. When fishing on quiet lakes and rivers, the sit-in boat becomes a hindrance. In my experience, those types of kayaks become waterlogged very easily when used by young or beginning anglers for fishing and can sink. With the sit-in kayak, you can flip over and drown if you can’t quickly free yourself of the boat. It can be tricky removing the splash guard that fits over your body to exit the kayak. Experienced kayakers know maneuvers to turn or escape a flipped boat, but young anglers usually don’t have the body strength. For that reason, it’s best to use a sit-on kayak for fishing.
