    I'm 60 and have a very bad back. I have been fishing on a SOT kayak for around 5 years now and still loving it. If you put the money into a good kayak and then set it up for your needs they are really amazing fishing boats. I enjoy the fact that I can pull up to the bank and take a rest if needed and a lot of times take a lunch break. I have to trailer my kayak as there isn't any way I could left it and it makes it very easy to launch it.

    Having a boonedox landing gear or similar really helps out but still need to lift at some point but only half the kayak weight. Having a trailer and loading like a boat as Stump said really would be the way to go if back issues and against lifting. I love kayak fishing but it has plus and minuses like everything.

    Man, I hear you guys! I know I can do a partial lift and then slide of my Mini-X, which is why I’m going to buy that Sher-pak lift helper that attaches to the rear window of our SUV. At 73 I just can’t lift it anymore without doing some serious damage. The nicks and dings of life definitely come back to haunt you, LOL. $40 is not that big a gamble, and the kayak would really bump up the fun factor. I have been scouting water of late to use it on. Anyway, I enjoy hearing all of your stories as it keeps up my interest!
    Paddle on!

    Paddleboards are decent to fish off of but are wetter than a yak. Generally. Here in NC paddle boards are used a lot in the Marshes but Yaks still rule where you get into wind and of course in the ocean. generally IMHO canoes are better than yaks in freshwater and yaks better than canones in Salt marshes but you have to stay away from the cheap yaks. Small yaks are not as stable as a long paddle board but my WS ATAK 140 is. Each has their advantages and disadvantages.
