A new trend.... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Rufus · 11-13-2012, 06:22 PM

I have owned three skiffs over 40 years. One is sitting in my driveway right now and hasn't been in the water since the wife and I bought a couple of Hobie's three years ago. Yep, the wife bought a yack, too. She hadn't gone fishng with me since our honeymoon in Kona 30 years ago.

Now she comes out every time I go fishing. She doesn't fish, she tours in her own Revo while I'm working the water in my PA14.

My skiff has a 100 gallon fuel tank. $365 in fuel costs for a run down to the 425. My PA14 costs me zippo in fuel and I have a much better time in the yack...and my bride comes along!

There's a popular saying in the fishing game...."You don't want to run over fish to find fish." That is so true in a yack. I've caught more quality fish per hour of yack fishing in SD Bay and off the Pt. Loma kelp beds than I ever caught in 40 years of skiff fishing off shore.
