Kayak Fishing Addiction
The
addiction:
For me the kayak fishing addiction started many, many years
ago, when the kayak industry did not produce kayaks dedicated to the sport of
fishing. Living on the Gulf Coast of Florida presented many opportunities to go
fishing and I tried to take advantage of them. I own a center console AquaSport
and noticed the launching and recovery (along with fuel cost) of the vessel really
required a crew.
I
often had these opportunities to go fishing when others were not available. So
I went wade fishing after work and often finding myself unable to reach the schools
of fish I had targeted. I bought a couple of cheap used kayak and fished out of
them for a couple of years.
When the industry started catching on to the
idea of kayak fishing, I bought my first fishing Kayak, the Wilderness System
Tarpon 120 (I still have & use it) but my Hobie Revolution is now the primary.
In the image I have a bull red bowed up pulling the kayak around. This photo was
taken in February and it had just started raining. The thrill of a big fish on
your line along with the unmistakable sound of the reel drag going off really
gets my excitement going. You are sitting only inches away from the prey with
no noise from a motor, your senses seem to go into overdrive.
The
Bull Red in the photo was released. You may be able to notice the rigging on the
kayak includes a fish finder, rod holders, and an anchor trolley. The customization
of your kayak is a big part of the lure and the socialization of kayakers. Many
anglers realize the kayak adventure can be both a solitary activity or you can
reach out to other anglers to really share and enjoy the sport. You can utilize
the Kayak fishing addiction forum and chat application to meet and share your
kayaking experiences.
This web-site is dedicated to promoting the sport of kayak fishing and
designed to help create more kayak fishing addicts like me.
When my job
forced me to move out of the area, I decided I could not just sit by without being
an activist in the sport I love. I knew I had to promote the sport of kayak fishing
by creating this web-site to share information with anglers like you. The Kayak
Fishing Addiction web-site is designed to hopefully fill the void of kayak fishing
I so crave. I hope you enjoy the Kayak Fishing Addiction web-site! Please feel
free to contact me with idea's and suggestions that will help promote the sport
of kayak fishing.
I am asking anglers to please send your
videos, photos, fishing reports, and any other information you would like to share
in promoting the sport.
Sponsors, Contributions, and Donations
are welcome, I need your assistance to keep this web-site operational and promoting
the sport of kayak fishing.
