It was a sad day: Newport - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The longer I do this the less gear I bring. As you start to pick your spots to fish on the regular, you will target certain species. The challenge is most of us come from party boats or situations we can't control what we target. We wind up bringing everything but the long range gear. With Kayak fishing your range is somewhat limited and you will have a tendency to target certain fish with a few techniques during certain times of the year. Then you will only need a few plastics, Lead heads, and hooks.

When you learn to tie rigs on the water, you can bring fewer rod/reel combos. Before you know it, you will have it down to a science with minimum gear. Have fun, be safe and catch plenty of fish.
