KAYAK FISHING
Preparing a KAYAK fishing trip for successo.
The kayak is the present-day craft with the most centuries of history. Although today it is a means of sport and leisure, there was a time when it was a way of life for arctic populations.
While natives of arctic regions did not rely on kayaks for fishing, in recent years sport fishing from kayaks has become popular in both fresh and salt water, especially in warmer regions due to the ease of entry. Kayaks can be purchased inexpensively and have low maintenance costs and can be stored in small spaces and launched quickly on the water.
Wheels and trailers can be purchased to assist in transporting the car to the water.
These manufacturers offer special fishing models that are designed and equipped for the sport, including specially designed hatches for livewells, integrated coolers and rod holders, GPS receivers and brackets for electronic equipment such as fishfinders and gpsmaps. Other accessories include tethered electric motors with long autonomy.
Specially designed fishing kayaks often have similar designs to recreational kayaks, but feature widths of more than 90 cm that increase lateral stability. The increased stability allows the angler to stand up and fish in the kayak.
These kayaks provide considerable storage space inside their hulls, allowing the angler to store rods, fishing tackle, batteries for sounders and motors, extra paddles, anchors and wheels for towing the kayak from the vehicle to the water or vice versa.
Molded cutouts in the top of the kayaks are suitable for holding plastic boxes with extra supplies or for holding the tackle we use at the time, such as jigs or trolling lures, for quick replacement.
Some anglers equip their fishing kayaks with outriggers to further increase stability.
The most popular fishing kayaks are rotationally molded from polyethylene because of its durability and lower cost, and are called self-emptying. Generally, kayak anglers are looking for stable, durable and comfortable designs.
Pedal-powered kayaks have grown in popularity since their debut in 1997. Pedal-powered kayaks use a propeller or fin system powered by the paddler's legs, comparable to a bicycle. These kayaks allow anglers to avoid paddling to keep their hands on the fishing rods, allowing for spin fishing to cast and retrieve more frequently or to continue to position themselves on the rock avoiding drifting in the case of jigging.
Kayak fishing has taken off spectacularly all over the world, and in places like Hawaii they are used for professional fishing. Large fish such as marlin and sailfish can be caught. Kayaking is fast becoming a favorite method of accessing fishing spots.
In addition to the safety equipment that we must carry transmitter, vests or tow lines, or clothing according to the area where we are going to fish, today we are going to focus and propose you the characteristics of the fishing equipment and accessories according to the fishing that you are going to do in your kayak, and show you how much material that AZ Trading distributes is suitable for these fishing from Kayak.
