People interested in kayak fishing have lots of questions
It's natural to have fear of things you don't know about or haven't experienced. It's easy for those first interested in kayak fishing to have lots of reservations about the sport. Is it hard to fish from a kayak? How do I get started in kayak fishing? Can I load/unload the kayak by myself? Are kayaks too tippy and is it safe? What basic gear do I need to get started? You can find the answer to these questions online in videos and blogs like this one. You can research "virtual" answers, but like most things, experience is the best teacher.
Our "Kayak Fishing, Get Into It" program is a class combined with on the water real-life experience
We've developed a short presentation that covers all the basics for beginning kayak anglers. We give each participant a copy of the presentation so they can refer to it after the program as they explore kayak fishing and what products would be best for them.
These are the kayak fishing topics we cover in the classroom portion of the program
- What makes fishing kayaks different from other kayaks?
- What type of propulsion is best for you?
- get a good, comfortable seat.
- What style of fishing kayak is best for you?
- How are you going to transport your fishing kayak?
- What basic accessories do you need for kayak fishing?
- How to store your kayak when it’s not in use.
- Your first outings, where to go, what to do.
After the class is finished, we get out on the water!
You'll literally "get your feet wet". It's FUN! We see people transform from a "can I do this?" state of mind to "I got this and I LOVE IT." We have people unload a kayak, get it loaded and wheel it to the water. We encourage you to bring your own rods and tackle so you see how your current gear works with a kayak. The actual experience of getting out on the water is what seals the deal, it builds confidence and drives the desire to be part of the sport.
