What type of Kayak is best for river hunting?

[Doc Arey]

I am going to river Detect and wonder what type of Kayak is best suited for it? What do you use?

Many thanks

Dive booties, no kayak, and the smallest coil you have for between the rocks.

I have a duckie inflatable kayak $50 with paddle that I like but I wouldn't use it among rocks. Are you talking tidal or fresh water?

Many thanks for the advice��

Fresh Water..

I have a Predator XL Minn Kota. I use it for fishing/trolling. It's a sit on top kayak. Very comfortable seat. Has a 45 lb thrust Minn Kota motor that sits in the center console.
May be a little pricey at $2500 - $3000, but will do 5 1/2 mph and can go all day on a battery charge.

I have 2 canoes. One is 12' and I use it for solo and short trips. The second is a little over 15' and I have an electric trolling motor on it for longer trips. I've always preferred a canoe because you can move around a bit more. A kayak is usually faster but I'm not one to be in a hurry........Noah

A used Ocean Kayak (SOT) Sit on Top should go for $300-500 in good condition. They are stable and easy to get in and out of, practically indestructible and can be carried or dragged anywhere. The Scrambler is popular with divers

Love my old town Predator MX, room for scuba gear in back, super comfy seat, stable very versatile.

I have seen Nuggetnoggin use an inflated tractor tire, I thought that was pretty clever for a float-along
