Never had anyone ask to go out on my kayak with me . Rarely got to fish alone on my boat, solitude is one of my most treasured outdoor assets ..

[chadsmith]

My number one reason of loving kayak fishing is you're out there in the middle of everything you feel exposed and when the fish jump they're right there in your face

I’m 70 and my best fishing came out of an old 18 ft. Canoe. One fishing pole and a lawn chair to sit in. Simple and effective; to say the least very affordable.

I've had my Native Slayer Propel 13 for 7 yrs now - I'm almost 70 yrs old and as long as the old body can take it I will keep doing it! You did a great job of turning every negative into a positive - and I agree wholeheartedly! The 2 things that stand out for me are: (1) I get a workout every time I fish, and (2) kayak fishing makes you a better fisherman because it forces you to search for the fish without cranking up the motor and running 5 miles to the 2nd honey hole! The majority of my fishing is done in SE Louisiana brackish water for saltwater species and occasional marsh bass! Most trips I have to deal with huge sportfishermen boats, but there are safe ways to coexist with them. The addition of a small Lowrance fish finder about 8 yrs ago tremendously increased my success - not because I actually "see" the fish so often, but it allows me to locate the drop-offs and determine patterns of the bite. My round trip distances have been as long as 10 miles over the last 12 yrs, but these days I try to keep it down to 4 miles round trip.

I love the freedom. Not stuck on the bank on a small lake when 30% is bank fishable. Or be just a passenger on a boat.
I usually have game plan or start paddle against the current, find a point then drift back. I study maps during the week before I go out.

I was always a good caster. I have no problem casting out of a sit on top kayak. Being on my feet on concrete floor all the time at the plant, it's good to relax, sit and paddle everywhere to find bass.

Loading sucks especially J bars with 57lb kayak. Worth the freedom.
Now having the aftermarket that we didn't have 15 years ago is great. Expensive? A basic Bass Tracker boat are running around $15, 000! My "bass boat" was $400 and put $500 accessories which can transfer to an upgrade boat later on. It's all about freedom

I am a kayak fishing rookie, as I bought my first kayak this summer. The thing I love about it most so far is that even if the fish aren't biting, I can still go kayaking and have a great time being alone with nature. I went fishing a few days ago and saw a bald eagle atop a tree. It was worth the trip to see this magnificent bird take off and swoop down to try and catch dinner.

[Immopimmo]

I love the quiet of just gliding through the water, I can hear every single splash and I see a lot more birds and animals too. It's also really fun to hook a large fish and having it pull you across the lake. I spent a good couple of minutes fighting with a 20lb pike last summer and when I finally got it up to the kayak and could unhook it felt like a real accomplishment. 😁

[sapsap]

#1 reason I love kayak fishing is the peace and quiet you get all to yourself, no one to say hey watch how you cast, or hey you almost hooked me! Nope not on the kayak nothing but me myself and I, of course it’s exciting fishing with others but fishing solo you learn so much more at your own pace! Tight lines!

[BowFinJunkie]

I love to be able to just slide into a spot that is underfished. You see all the bank anglers casting from shore and your out there catching them from the other side of the lake that’s unreachable. It’s a great feeling.

[SandDuneProperties]

Luv the quiet & solitude of a small shallow cove, waterway, river that is sooo invigorating.

[stevebarzee]

I love the no gas and noise. On many lakes the no motor rule doesn’t apply to pedal power . For me it’s access to smaller water and streams that have less fishing pressure.

[buckeye]

Being on the water before dawn then watching the sun come up over the trees. So peaceful and so beautiful.

[JohnLong]

I love the closeness you feel to the water and the fish when you catch them. Nothing like having a 22” bass come up next to the kayak and wallow and shake its big ole head right there in front of you.

[nicknackdaddyack]

I love everything about yak fishing....even combating the 10mph wind Friday with my 3 lb anchor was not an issue. But what I love most is getting into fishing spots boats CAN'T get to! Bigger better fish!

[stevenlewis]

I love the calm I experience when I’m on the water in my kayak fishing. I am new to kbf. I’m learning and loving it.

[peacefrog]

My wife and I love kayak fishing, the fact that we can move around independently, is awesome. The other part is, it's quiet, so quiet I had a loon surface next to me👍

[flipflop_fishingsuzannetys]

I love everything about kayak fishing!! Well, except about 10% of the big boats cutting you off or hitting you with their wake because you may be in a spot that they wanted to fish.
Oh and sweet hat

[atamagashock]

I love being out on lakes and sections of lakes that nobody else can get too, wether it’s too shallow or too small of an area to get into without a kayak or canoe. It’s peaceful and great for your mind and soul. Especially when you’re surrounded by nature and wildlife you typically won’t see otherwise! I fish out of a 2020 PA12 360 and it’s an absolute dream. You can maneuver into and out of anything and I love to be able to stand and fish, and it’s unbelievably stable for that

[melissaballard]

My husband and I got fishing kayaks during the drought when the lakes were so low we couldn’t launch our boat. Absolutely love them. Selling our boat, will never go back!
