SUP Fishing anyone? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So, due to austerity measures in my household, I get on the water with whatever I can whenever I can. This led me to go from surfboard fishing to SUP fishing. I know I'm not going to be as prepared as a kayak fisherman, but I have been able to rig up a board to get the job done. Anyone else doing this?

I do it when I can, much more susceptible to the wind, so I opt for the kayak more often. Fun way to keep it simple. Does not take much of a fish to take you for a stand up sleigh ride!

This was a couple nights ago, after work in the harbor.

There's that blade again....looks like it would be relaxing until I lose my balance and end up in the drink....lol

This is Jimmy Styks Blue Heron Fishing SUP that just came out. I am liking it. Easy to add stuff like the crate etc. Webbing up front and lots of attachment points to rig it the way you want.

Good, so I won't get laughed off the water! I know what you mean about the sleigh ride, I had one on off Del Mar then

I ditched my kayaks for the SUP for fishing. But, still mostly go back to my 9'8" longboard. I'm in Carlsbad. If you ever want to board fish hit me up. I mostly go in the evening or fri-sat.
probably hit it tonight around tamarack if the swell isn't right for surfing.

"ditched the kayak for an SUP"

I imagine it would be a kick though
