Have tried all types of fishing and kayak fishing opens up so many possibilities that I never considered. From small to large bodies of water. Very limited time waiting to launch or dock. You have to limit your tackle choice to what you use best because of limited space. Which I have found that it has sharpen my skills with the limited choices. I have not had the chance to use my yak as much as I desired, do to a bad summer of no work. Hard to convince the wife that your hard looking for work, when you keep loading up the yak and spending gas money you don't have. I wish I would have known about kayaks 30 years ago but; never to late for new experience. I hope this next season lends it self for more opportunities than last season. By no means do I consider myself much more than a beginner. We all had to start with the first stroke.
