You have about a 3-5” draft depending on model. It will definitely get places that you can’t go in a Jon boat and it’s more stable than. Canoe. For sloughs, rivers, or feeder creeks in lakes, I can get back further than the bass boats. But, you better hope that you’re near a good area. The max distance I usually go is around 7 miles round trip in a lake. Weather obviously plays a big part in decision making. Fighting wind is no fun. I’ve been out in 30mph winds on a big lake and it was no fun. Kayaks drain well through the scupper holes, but they are much harder to maneuver in bad weather. They get a little pricey though if you want to add pedal drive, graph, etc, but these days, they make them really nice  for fishing. I take my boy out on small water with me (weather permitting).</blockquote>
