Is Kayak Fishing Still A Thing, Then?

[Elton]

Kayak fishing looked set to explode. Are you a kayak angler? If not, how often do you see one nowadays?

Thoughts?

None round here they declared the river unnavigable to stop canoeists  breathing our air ,strangely all that goes out the window in the annual raft race.

Maybe not the safest way to have a dangle.

I know of a Scottish chap that sea fishes from a kayak but he's the only one.

There was a time a few years ago when ‘Costco’ sold large plastic kayaks for not very much money and I was seriously thinking of buying one to use for fishing close to the shore and in estuaries for bass. However I didn’t buy one because it wouldn’t fit on top of my car and I lived too far from the sea.

been smacked in the face by the kayak after I got binned in the surf when I first started and had a black eye from it (though not like that one) didn't realise until one of the barmaids pointed it out a few hours later

Kayak fished for a few years now ,mainly on the Thames where it’s certainly getting more popular

Don't see why Octoplus or whoever couldn't produce adaptors in order to allow one of their seat boxes to be mounted on a paddleboard. It  would be a great deal easier and more comfortable than fishing off a kayak.
