Kayak Fishing: Meeting the Fish in its Own Environment
The use of kayaks for sport fishing has increased by leaps and bounds in recent years. And why not, it’s plain old fun and exciting! If you are interested in San Diego kayak fishing, read on for some inspiration and tips.
The Thrill of the Hunt!
Fishing in a kayak is the perfect combination of the thrill of the hunt and the quiet splendor of the outdoors. Some argue that the stealthy approach utilized by kayak fishermen when pursuing their fish is second to no other fishing style. Additionally, it is an environmentally friendly way to enjoy a fishing trip and get some exercise at the same time.
Do not shy away from fishing from kayaks in the ocean. Very large fish, such as marlin and yellowfin tuna, have been caught by kayak fishermen.
Kayaks are highly transportable and easy to take to any of your favorite fishing launch sites. In addition, kayaks require very little upkeep and are much more economical than other motorized fishing boats. Finally, when the fishing is done, these crafts take up very little storage space compared to other boats.

- How many rod holders do you envision needing?
- Does the boat have enough storage space for your tackle and a fish-finder?
Consideration of your fishing style, where you intend to fish, and the money in your budget will ultimately guide you to the best choice.…
