For two people its a canoe, hands down.
For just me, I like my yak. Easier to maneuver and less resistance than a canoe not to mention the center of gravity is better. I have a sit-in which works but a sit-on might be better.
I might play around with retractable pontoons so I can stand up. I've seen some setups that were fairly elegant and some that were pretty monstrous.

I agree with canoe. My legs go numb in a yak and I'm not a fan of the angle of view from being that close to the water. I ended up selling my yak as it was collecting too much dust. Though I do now have birds nesting in my canoe on top of my car.
Sent from my iPhoneI probably need to switch to decaf - but still! I do prefer canoes over kayaks.--That said, I'd rather have a kayak (or a large piece of dock foam) to at least get to where some fish are vs. nothing. I just think people write off canoes as "old stuff" when they're actually quite useful and (ironically) lighter than kayaks of a similar length.If I fished a lot of SW I might prefer the SOT kayak for obvious reasons.Gene

I wanted something to get me on the water so I can target snakeheads bass etc...as I have been viewing kayak fishing forums the one thing that stuck out in my mind when talking about tandem kayaks are "its like walking 2 dogs at once, it can be done but its a pain in the ass" that may be referring to 2 adults in a kayak though.Some guys on those forums get a large 1 person kayak [like a Jackson big tuna etc] and rig a seat for their child on it then when their child is old enough they get them their own kayak.I grew up fishing out of a canoe with my dad [we still fish out of the same canoe] and enjoyed it, just being out on the water is awesome.
