Hey guys. I've been hitting the surf quite a few times this year. I'm really loving saltwater fishing. But I have two kayaks. I was wondering if the fishing was that much better from a kayak and if someone who was familiar with it wouldn't mind having someone tag along. If you don't mind having a fishing buddy you can pm me and schedule something. Thanks again guys. Tails up _________________ Electrician by day, fish junkie at night.
from what i'm reading, yes, the fishing's better from a yak right now. look at the CT forum on SOL and in the 'biggest fish' thread you'll see what i'm talking about. i wish i had a yak...

I have a kayak with a fishfinder on it and have gotten the yak out in the salt once so far. The nice thing about fish from a kayak is you get to cover more water and have a better chance at getting into the fish than you do from shore.
I'm always open for a kayak partner who has room for a second kayak with me not having a car.

There's nothing like a stealth approach in skinny water and hard to reach back bays.
I can't count the number of times that stripers and i have spooked each other in the dark of night.You'll be able to get a couple of feet from them before they know your there.
The blue in my avatar was 1 of many that day.I caught my limit then started tossing them back. I stepped mine up a notch and fitted it with an electric motor for those days i venture further than my legs will pedal me.
You'll be able to get into Inches of water and places you can't by foot and bigger boats. _________________ ...Randy...

I'm stoked to get it in the water. I just don't have all the fancy stuff for it yet. Do you guys who go out on it often mostly have the ones your paddle with your feet.? _________________ Electrician by day, fish junkie at night.

Nowadays.....Yes!
Back when i first started....No.
Behind me is the 9.5 footer(sink)sit inside i started with.No electronics,had to paddle and as you can see.I caught fish!
I still use it in shallow rivers or lend it to someone who wants to tag along. _________________ ...Randy...
