When we were on Block Island Last June I rented one and fished in the salt pond. I had a blast getting towed around and fishing. It is worth checking out before you say you would never try it.

Possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen take place in a kayak was a bonito getting loose in a sit on top, thrashing around for a few seconds, and then biting the guy in the yak in the toe. The offending tasty fish was then thrown from the yak. He must have seen the other bonito scattered about the boat being kept for supper and decided to put up a serious fight.
So yeah, lip grippers, bogas, clubs, Baker Hookouts, etc, are all important tools when fishing from a kayak.

New between 500-1000, used ????? who knows. A Marquesa would probably be the best deal new, as far as something that would fit you. Tom

I've been a hardcore Surffisherman most of my life. However, when we took on Wilderness Systems Kayaks and saw the number of guys and gals fishing from kayaks I gave it a try. Endended up being a lot of fun. Found that you could fing fish that were inexsessile to both boaters and surfcasters. Just another way to diversify your fishing methods. Still love my Surffishing but it's a gas to be pulled around by a big fish.
Boot Man, Tarpon 140, 160i or Cobra Fish and Dive would be the best bets for a guy your size. These boats new and fully fish rigged go from around $700 to $1200 depending on configuration (with or without rudder). It is strongly recommended test driving a kayak before purchasing. At King Cove we will let you try any yak you're interested in.

A package would cost around 1500. Including proper clothing, kayak, pfd, paddle, FF, battery system etc. There are big man kayaks out there you just have to find the right kayak. |

Is fishing from a kayak like riding a moped? Fun until someone sees you.
|
