KAYAK FISHING NEWBY..?

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

That may be true, but ask Slushy and Bowzog about the exploding casserole dish some time... :roll:

Maybe you should join in the kayak lesson, Gorf... if Joco agrees. We'll wear our scuba masks and oxygen tanks, just in case. :lol:

but wen people are heavy sometime a bit off water can get in by there to but not mutch and only if you are heavy.

you can plug to for them..in my tarpon i do put plug becasue for myself dont need that safety.

might not be a best start..C.mon. :lol:

some off them have them..ex only off mine as some the 3 others dont.

its good to go on the oceans...that way water that goes over the side and into the kaysk just drain out.

or if you flip..just flip back the kayak and go back on and the water will drain...this is a good thing about sit on top.

but for me..i dont care for those holes.i plug them.

gorfman.

dont worry...i am heavy and not mutch goes in..not even one inch in the bottom part mabe 2 pints off water and none wen i put plug.

mabe i should have talk about scupper plug..but this is a great feature for the sit on top kayak so.


a lot off people that are over 250 and even 300 and some a lot more kayak fish witout any prob.

its a sport for all.

and a lot off kayak that as scupper plug and people over 280 pound can go on and have no water at al in it.


have to say a kayak is a water sport..so might have a bit off water. :roll: :lol:

Joco, you're a wealth of info. I had no idea some kayaks had holes or that you could stand up as well. I'm definitely going to try some kayaks this summer. Maybe we can get together and you can try my pontoon boat.

Thanks for the thread.

That's quite the set of links you have there Joco.

I grew up with a Canoe/Kayak, both are my favorite to fish from.
I am in the middle of a battle with myself about which to get, whether a Kayak or a Canoe. I'll probably opt for a Canoe so that I can do some camping and such.

The problem though is that once you get a Canoe, then you need to get a roof rack......... :?

I already have a Gumman 17ft Square stern canoe, with a 4hp - I just want something smaller I can throw around and put on my Quad.

I am looking to get a Malibu - as I liked the Xwing -feature - then get one of those little trolling motor add ons...
