Get a canoe! Bring your buddy, carry more gear, take extend trips into places that see few anglers, use it to hunt moose. Not as specialised as fishing kayaks but you can make a good canoe do just about anything My favorite is the Mad River Explorer. In this picture we've got a quartered moose, hunting gear, and enough camping gear to keep two guys comfortable for 2 weeks in it. The rest of the year I spend many evenings paddling it solo up and down the Slave River in search of walleye. Like I said it will do just about anything.
