🤣 Expectation vs. Reality: Kayak Fishing

[undisputedtruth]

Yup. That's life as both captain and crew on a 1-man vessel.

Something to be said for keeping things simple.
Paddling isn't fast but you get there

[sargentt]

Exactly why I dont use a motor.
My 360 drive is plenty good at 4.6mph

[_lifeafterDARK]

my kayak is simple, its got rod holders and scupper holes for tons of water bugs to flood in if not plugged

[auminer]

happens to my paddles all the time....LOL

[RustyShackleford]

When you are carrying that much shit, just get a small boat instead. 2 rods max and a few lures is all you need.

[chaddepew]

It's not often but sometimes us paddle fishers have the upper hand 😂

[erico]

Nothing like having a yard sale in the surf, hauling out in white caps. lol

[georgefitzhugh]

Looking from my yak I’ve seen many bass boat with folks hanging over the motor just like this guy.

[laithbot]

This is why the only kayak fishing i do is spearfishing. I’m expecting to be underwater anyway 😂

[Hawaiianstyle-dzxb]

I have a lifetime fishing kayak and put a minnkota 30 with a bro craft mount bar. The control panel powers my lights and fish finder, I use lithium batteries. It gives my five hours of fishing. I didn’t know once you put a motor on a kayak, it has to be registered as a boat. I want to get a musky off a kayak!

[skyylarhubbard]

Is the motor the difference between fishing in the wind bec I got a paddle Jackson bite and let me tell you it’s either fish or paddle in the wind

[-old-Forthischet]

Been through kayaks, canoes and 5 boats. The last boat was the best.

[mattdevries]

Hell yeah been there one to many times half the day fixing the motor about 2 hrs fishing..

[andreanngeise]

Yup just started kayak fishing and already learning the hard lessons and quickly

[LukeNeidig]

This kinda reminded me of when Peter falls down his stairs in family guy lol

[DontUputThatEvilOnMe]

Skip the motor nothing beats the reliability and workout of simple paddles.

[ZillaZarate]

Man I love kayak fishing until I’m actually kayak fishing and everytime I get done I say I ain’t doing that crap no more !!!
I’ll usually be back the next morning lol ! It’s fun but it can be a hassle

[Jpgundarun]

My Watersnake is mid mounted through the pod hole. No hanging off the back for me. Lollols.

Especially when you’re fishing rivers. My buddy and I went over a big class two rapid with a 2-3 foot drop off and he got pinned against a rock and when he got turned sideways, the current completely capsized him and he went over the ledge. Luckily, he was okay but because he didn’t have his pedals strapped down, he lost those. As well as a rod and a bunch of tackle. He lost about $1200 worth of gear. Hopefully we can find the pedals tomorrow morning with a few 300 pound magnets we bought.
