Kayak Fishing

[geoff37 3]

I'm moving up north in the next few months and thinking of getting a sea kayak for next summer. Does anyone on here go kayak fishing?

 

I've had a look and it seems quite popular around Whitby/north east.I've done quite a bit of paddling but never whilst fishing!

Thanks for the replies, got my eye on a few sit on kayaks which aren't cheap but looks worth it to get to those marks that are out of reach from the shore. Good fitness without the running costs of a boat, I think I'll go and have a look over the weekend.

I have been wanting to do it for a couple of year's now..but i can't get a mate to do it with me and i'm not keen on the idea of going out alone..

I've had a look today and there are loads of clubs around, they go out tooled up with radios and GPS and stuff. I reckon the initial outlay could be around 1500-1700 quid but once spent will last a life time. I'm due a pay out from the Army in December so f**k it I'm going to treat myself for the 19 years of shite!!

 

There's some good fish being caught all over the country. I'll obviously have to blag the Mrs on the cost!!

I used to see lads going out quite regularly on the kent coast doing kayak fishing. I found some pics on the internet once of the same people. They caught some beasty cod from beaches where everyone on the shore was blanking all season.
