would you kayak fish in winter for holdovers in river

Kayak choice and experience factor into safety. Even with experience and the best equipment the river can be a dangerous place to kayak. To me it would not be worth the risk to catch a few schoolies. I have never kayaked in water that cold, but i really doubt it is comfortable no matter the equipment. The few times i hooked into fish that were over 20# the fish took me for a ride, luckily the biggest fish pointed out to sea and not into the surf zone. In a river, i suspect an unexperience kayak angler could get into trouble.
