Fishing is one of the most popular outdoor activities in the United States, with nearly 49 million participants who go fishing at least once a year. Research shows that convenience plays a factor in how often someone fishes. For example, if you live fifty miles from the nearest lake, chances are you won’t fish there as often as someone who lives fifty feet from its edge.
Small, lightweight watercraft called kayaks are making it easier for anglers of all skill levels to get out on the water. They are more affordable than motorboats, provide greater access, and allow you to travel farther distances in shorter periods of time. If you’re ready to hit the water, here are a few great kayak fishing tips to take with you.
Check out more basic kayak fishing tips and be sure to get your fishing license before you go. Enjoy!
