Kayak Fishing
Submitted by JamesLC2024 on Wed, 2024-11-06 13:26
Hey Guys,
Latley I have been interested in Kayak fishing and I am considering buying a fishing kayak.
Questions: What is a good kayak under $1000? Are 8ft rods too long for a kayak? How far out can you go? How stable are they? How hard are they to transport/get on the roof of a car? Do fishing kayaks have enough storage to be on the water for a few hours? Is it worth getting a small electric motor?
Thanks :)

More of a man than I am.
Up here in the Territory you go fishing in a kayak there's a better than even chance you're going to get taken by either a Croc or a Shark.
Down your way it more then shark option...:D
On a happier note my old boy uses his Hobie Mirage all the time in the estuary at Dawesville, he comes home every night and gets a good feed.
My wife understands why I clean my rods n reels in the shower....

Don’t own one but
dont own one but not sure if you need to license a watercraft as soon as you put a motor on it if not used as a tender .
perhaps others on here could answer that question as I really don’t know but maybe something to find out about

Your best bet would be to
Your best bet would be to look up a yak fishing book face forum. I'm sure you would be able to get all the info you need . Don't know if I would go an electric motor but would go with one that has them duck feet paddles whatever they are called. Then your arms are free to fish
