OK Trident 13 gets it done.

The best yak for you is the one you are comfortable in and can effectively more through the water when things are dicey. After all, when the water is glass and you are feeling strong you can adequately paddle most things to arrive safely at your destination. I have caught lots of fish from my T13 and find that it moves through the water with relative ease, whether I've been porpoising through the swells or swiftly heading to the next spot to fish. I have found it performs well on the salt - where I have done most of my catching. My model is an older one with some flaws... Rod pod lid is weak (which has been addressed)... It lacks good places to mount forward rod holders... But I think these couple of deficiencies are inconsequential compared to the other strengths. While their are other yaks I would love to own, I don't know that I would ever surrender my T13. It is a great fresh and saltwater fishing platform.
