your take on kayak fishing

[beaver]

I've never felt too comfortable fishing from a kayak. Done some freshwater from what I would call a recreational kayak, but just didn't feel to into. May be because I've fished from an 18' Boston Whaler my whole life. It is something I'd like to get into though. A Hobie with peddles seems like sure bet and easier to fish from, but have never used one.

just another thought.... the kayak is perfect for a surfcaster looking to expand their range (and who is comfortable with the idea of bobbing around in the ocean on a piece of plastic)
however, I can already sense (for me at least) that the kayak is a "gateway drug" if you will, a stepping stone to becoming a full blown boat guy, scary I know, because then NONE of my fish will count....

haha..yeah, I didnt get a yak. I got a small 8' aluminum pram, and yes it was a gateway drug. turned me into a 19' boat owner/addict in 2yrs.

I love my kayak it gives me much more of a advantage. I still fish from the surf alot but now when the heat is upon us i can get to the deeper water.

I just picked up a SOT and I'm itching to get out and fish.
I had talked to a number of yak fishermen over the past year, and based on the excitement in their descriptions, I will probably never want to come ashore again. Of course, I do love the surfcasting aspect of striper fishing, but the yak will definitely add anotgher dimension. That plus the added options for fresh water action as well.
