'yaks

[easyfish1]

gents of NESA and 'yak owners

i've just viewed a post regarding fishing from a kayak,

( please don't take this the wrong way)

i'm just wondering when you look at the space available on a 'yak and the comfort aspect for fishing close inshore with a paddle for propulsion and a few others fishing from yaks for some security of not fishing alone...

i know that having a yak is a lot cheaper than running a boat but have a look at these pics

wouldn't it be better to use one of these.................





getting some mates together....



some come with sun protection...



she's got sunglasses on !



some get a bit daft but could be modified to fishing standard







please note i'm not taking the p** but these vessels are just as good if not better/safer than a 'yak as they provide more space for fishing and can still be "paddled" if needs be....


bring on pedalo season..............prices range from £300 up to about £500 and some of them are CE stamped too

thoughts please............

you could even carry an aux outboard...................

My friend has a couple of yaks, and i have been out with him a few times now, and simply just love the kayaking experience, like we were ontop of the water outlet for alcan the other day trying for bass... experiences like that can only be had on the yak. If you are well organised the space and comfort issues are dismissed.

pedalo's are very very slow and large so not very controlable. So if a slight breeze picked up it could be a hassel, the yaks are small, light and nimble so prime in my opinion.

However its a option to try, but to cover any great distance in one of them would be a pain in the arse! lol takes 45mins to get around the maine park!! lol

As already said, any sort of breeze and you could easily end up fishing the Danish/Norwegian coast Too bulky and hard to manouvre.
Have thought about a modified Jet ski though!
