live_2_fish Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I am new to fishing in kayaks. I went up to Lake of The Woods and decided to give it a try. It was on Hayes Lake. I didn't realize how easily fish can pull you around. I got a couple northerns around 10 pounds an boy can they pull you around. I just wanted to know how long most of you have been kayak fishing. I am going to buy one. They would be nice to get on small rarely fished lakes with no easy access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberfish Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I just started this year. I like the way those pike can pull ya around too, on a calm day I can pull myself along the shoreline as I fish by just casting a spinnerbait out in front and retrieving it I can't wait til I get a big ol cat or sturgeon on, yehaa!

Jim43 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Been fishing from a Kayak since purchasing my Keowee 2 from REI online back in 98. Caught a few northerns while staying up at Gull 4 Seasons on Round Lake to get out of the wind and they towed me all over the place. Didn`t bother trying to reel them until they were tired of towing me all over the lake. Was a blast, but its been years since catching anything that size living down here. About all I catch now is little crappies and sunnies out of Sleepy Eye lake when I get time off work. Which rarely happens, I take my son along who just loves catching them litle things. Told him this fall we be taking some time off and find a Lake that will give us something to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveler Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I was reading an article about fishing striped marlin out of a kayak down in baja mexico. I go down there to fish regularly, gotta try it sometime! They take you out to the fishing grounds in a cruiser, then you fish from the kayak, weather permitting, of course.

Twinfisher1 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I started fishing from my ocean kayak for trout back in Spokane WA in the mid 90's. Since I moved back to MN, I've been getting out a few times a week - it's a lot faster loading up the kayak vs the pontoon. You're really going to enjoy the fishing experience from the kayak.
