Fishing is one of the world’s most well liked past times, kayaking is a fantastic sport, giving a physical work out, in the open air, for increased strength and health. Now by combining these 2 great pastimes can bring great benefit to both.

Fishing as a spare time pursuit can be enjoyed quite inexpensively, a rod and straightforward extra tackle, or you can spend a small fortune on all of the fanciest equipment and a costly ship to take you out to all the best fishing spots. But with a comparatively cost effective sit on top kayak you can paddle out to stretches of the sea that could be inaccessible from the harbour, a kayak will also let you to explore the local area a find new fishing grounds and secret spots that you will never have known about.

The most recent designs of sit on top kayaks for fishing have moved away from the old shorter surf ski kayaks and have some features incorporated specially for the fisherman. Particulars to have a look for include rod holder brackets for the obvious reasons, but also look for useful storage; ideally a bait box or a lock between your legs is good for keeping the all important close to hand. A storage platform or locker for a tackle box is good too. Another significant feature for fishing is a paddle grab or a place to hold the paddle when not in use.

From a kayak design point of view, look for a good water line length with a deep V at the front and a good keel, these will make sure that the kayak paddles well over long distance. Kayak Width is also a consideration, wider is steadier, enabling the user to move around a bit more than a standard kayaker could need to. A general general size is about 3m (10′) long and about 0.75m (2’6″) for the width.

Sit on top kayaks are safe with integral buoyancy but always wear a floatation device or bouncy aid. Also think about a cheap safety leach for your paddle and fishing rods, you do not need you lose either of these. Most crucial, check the weather, get out on the water, have a good time a hook an enormous one!

Charlie Horner is a professional paddler and regularly uses his sit on top kayak for fishing and for recreation, the sit on top kayak is his fave technique to get on the water.
