Why fish from a kayak?

There is a lot to be said for the simplicity which shore based fisherman bring to the sport of fishing. A nice spot on on a ledge, some fresh bait, a live bait attached to a strong spinning rig. That’s all you need for hours of enjoyment and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

However, over the decades we have managed to talk ourselves into believing that bigger is better. Now we need a brand new six meter boat; 200 H.P. outboard and enough electronic gadgets to start your own space program! Often these rigs sit in the driveway or storage yard and see very little use after the novelty wears off.

It only took one trip in a conventional kayak to realize the quiet feel of slipping over the water to rendezvous with fighting game fish. Immediately I felt the same excitement I once knew while fishing as a youngster.

In a kayak, you are literally sitting on the water. Today’s sit-on-top kayaks are extremely stable. Unlike sea kayaks, they don’t feel “tippy” in the least.

Kayaks can be decked out with all the modern fishing conveniences of a motor boat. Fish finders, landing nets, bait live-wells, anchor systems, gobs of storage areas, You’ve always wanted to be the Captain of your own ship. Well, now you can be that and more. It’s all in your hands!
