Hi all. I am new to Anglersnet and a planned newbie to kayak fishing looking for some guidance. I am located in North Cumbria, so keen to hear from anyone local for sea fishing, especially kayaking. There seems to be active kayak fishing groups in Whitby and North Wales, but is there anything similar in Cumbria or the west of Scotland I could hook (no pun intended!) up with? As a newbie, I am very wary of the idea of buying a kayak, and paddling out to sea solo to start with!! I have paddled conventional kayaks many times in the past, but have not used an SOT. I do most of my sea fishing up the west coast of Scotland during the summer and am keen to get into kayak fishing. I am 6ft 2in and 16 stones, so a little yak is no good. Have been offered an Islander Strike at a good price, but cannot find any sort of review - anyone out there own or tried one? Any help or suggestions appreciated.
