5 Essential Beginners Tips for Kayak Fishing

Fishing is becoming an increasingly popular outdoor activity.

Small, lightweight kayaks are making it even easier for people of various angling skill levels. Kayaks are more affordable than motorboats, allow greater access, and lets you travel greater distances faster. Here are a few incredible kayak fishing tips for you.

  1. Safety first. Get the right safety gear, like a personal flotation device, a VHF handheld radio, a signaling device, and the other items as defined by the US Coast Guard. Don’t forget to pack food and water, a first aid kit, and sun protection.
  1. File a float plan. Drop your written float plan with someone who can communicate with officials, if an emergency arises. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced kayak fishing lover, this is essential.
  1. Carry an anchor. An anchor is small and compact and will help you stay put on active fishing spots. Remember to tie it from the bow or stern and NOT from the side of your kayak as it could lead you to overturn.
  1. Bring GPS. A GPS unit ensures you can navigate the waterways efficiently and also be able to find your way back.
  1. Check the weather. Plan your day by checking the weather, tides, currents, and water temperature. It will help you determine what gear to pack, what to wear, where to go, and how the fish are behaving.
