At that price it's going to be hard to get a fully loaded kayak. I do have a 15 ocean kayak with a Werner paddle, upgraded seat, round center hatch for storage. Boat also has a rudder with the sale. I'm going to post the kayak in the for sale section this weekend. Excellent fast kayak too and the paddle makes staying out all day a breeze.

$400 alone will barely get you a decent Fish finder. Go to Walmart buy a cheap kayak and a PDF, then add on as you go.

How much do you weigh and what type of fishing are you planning to do? This way others can chime in what would fit the bill. I started out with a Malibu mini for its size it was a tank. I'm only 140 lbs but 5'11 and it was comfortable. Great for lakes and bay fishing. Good luck with your such

Sound like your possibly a younger kid right? Maybe post your age and experience. And maybe anything else you might be needing. Plenty of older guys here with old gear sitting in a garage that would be willing to donate if it went to use.

With that budget, it will be hard to find something with everything you're looking for. Since you're on a budget, here's a budget-friendly bait system a friend and I made. They're great for cruising around the harbor or in calm water, but it's not something you'd want to be dragging around in strong currents or headwinds. Super easy to build. All you need:
5g Bucket
Pool noodle
Rope
Large zip-ties
Drill w/ 1/2" bit
If you want to go crazy with it, I cut out the lid, then used a propane torch to smooth out the edges of the lid. I also used it on all the internal drill holes so there are no sharp edges for the bait to cut themselves on

try offer up, letgo, etc. I have seen kayaks for relatively in expensive. perhaps you can find an older model tarpon, or OK prowler for inexpensive and then have some dough left over for the accessories.

In my experience get the kayak you want first and everything else second.

just my .02

I'd echo this sentiment. I just got an older OK prowler 13 with a cheap aluminum paddle included for 250 bucks total. They're a great balance of lean, light, and stable. I'd research the kind of kayak you want for the kind of fishing you want to do and set some craigslist alerts. you'd be surprised at the deals you can find there and what you can negotiate.

that would mean, you would have to be small in stature for them to fit comfortably. I bought them too small. they look new. free to pick up.

There is an OK prowler 15 that was just listed. I would be all over that if I were you.
