Spring in Massillon, Ohio, and Green, Ohio, is a season of renewal and hope across the country.

The sun is brightly shining after a long winter and with warmer weather being more consistent in and around Massillon, people love spending time outdoors. Living near the water motivates many nature lovers to try new and fun endeavors. Kames Sports is now carrying a variety of Pelican and Sun Dolphin fishing and recreational kayaks. Kayaks come in two basic styles, sit-on-top (SOT) and sit-inside, both versions are available in singles or doubles. They have major differences, but they share the same basic parts… one can find grab loops at the stern, both have seats and some form of foot support — foot pedals or foot wells. Some kayaks have rudders that are controlled by foot pedals, but the biggest difference is that the sit-ins have an enclosed cockpit where one can attach a spray skirt to keep water out. It is hard to make the wrong decision when choosing a recreational or fishing kayak, but narrowing it down can help. One must determine their future use —will they be using it on a sheltered lake or open water, in warmer or cooler water, and what is the desired level of quickness and stability. Sit-in kayaks are more confined, but offer more protection from the wind and water so they are warmer. The negative aspect is the process to recover if one flips is more arduous, since the cockpit will be filled with water. Sit-on-top kayaks are more user-friendly for anglers with their stability and ease of getting on and off with no feeling of confinement. They are also self-bailing, meaning they have scupper holes that allow the water to drain when turned upright after a flip. Talking to the knowledgeable staff at Kames Sports can help when deciding on a new Pelican or Sun Dolphin kayak!
