Picked this kayak up the other day, trying to get it rigged up to do some fishing as i find shore fishing exhaustingly boring.... Anything I'm missing? Its a standard sot that I'm going to make work for fishing haha[/img]
Im just figuring out the best place for the front rod holder, any suggestions on an anchor setup? I honestly didnt even think of that haha........yeah, noob here.
Paddle leash and rod leashes I lost a good rod and reel it got hooked on my life jacket when I turned around to change rods. next thing I know it was gone.Now anything I bring I leash.
Leash it or loose it.
Get yourself some $1.00 store phone chargers. Cut the ends off.wire tie around a dollar store d ring. to rod on one end to bungie on kayak the other.
Once you start kayak fishing. Your hooked.There are places you can get to that bigger boats cannot.No boat ramps required.Drag it in anywhere.You will catch more fish than ever.Practise paddling with one hand. and ajusting your drift with one hand.When you catch a big fish. You will use these skill to ajust your forward motion.
GOOD LUCK.......Catch Fish....And before you push off.. Make sure you have your paddel..Left mine on the bank once.Really sucks getting your reverse motion to stop and get back in without a paddel.
I like my little single handed paddle. It's short leashed and tucked behind me. Has a hook cut out of the edge to snag things with. Looks like a large ping pong paddle but more on the rectangular shape. Found the idea a couple of years ago, now someone sells them commercially.
