Sail option... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

taggermike · 09-22-2011, 03:14 PM

I've fished in the bay from a sailing kayak. It was definately fast but fishing around the sail, amas, and rigging lines was awkward.I think it would be doable if you seperated the sailing from the fishing. Maybe paddle/peddle out before the wind came up with the sail furled and tied to the kayak. Then after you get your fishing done get the sail up and get a mostly free ride back to the launch. I have access to an adventure island and want to try this. You can also stand up and sorta lean/ wrap your leg around the mast and fire some nice casts. Mike
