Finally went out in my new fishing kayak this past Friday. It is so sweet! Nothing but me and the nature. No motors or electronics to worry about. Just paddling into all the best spots on the lake not accessible by land and limited to bigger vessels. It's also funny that if I had a regular four door car or SUV I would need a rack on top. But I have an Acura Integra two door hatchback. Since the car has a lip where the trunk comes down the kayak is angled into the car and there is no risk of it sliding out. I just close the trunk all the way, tie it down and let the kayak stick out a foot and a half or so.
Caught five largemouths on my maiden voyage which was at Kill Creek Lake. For my purposes I can never see myself needed a $10,000 boat after this experience. The best way to describe fishing from the kayak is serenity now, insanity not later.
