Anyone here into Kayak fishing?

It's really too bad they don't make those anymore. I really wish I had picked up a few. They're pretty much some of the best ever made for the type of canoeing I do (and it looks like you too).

View attachment 56309 View attachment 56310 View attachment 56311 Old Town Pack canoe. 33 Lbs and 12' of fun. I just got back from Ontario with it.

Decided to do a search and bring this thread back up rather than start my own. Bought my first yak last year. A Perception Pescador Pilot. I didn't get to fish a lot out of it last year but I plan on changing that this year. Trying to get a few things done to it before the season really starts to take off. I sold my Lund boat in favor of less expenses and better fishing opportunities. Some of the lakes in Greene-Sullivan State Forest are perfect for yak fishing.


This is at Hillenbrand FWA near Midland, IN.

I have access to a two-person Hobie Mirage-drive kayak set up for fishing and within dragging distance of Eagle Creek Reservoir. Maybe this thread will get me off my ass to give it a try.

I used to fish White River a bit in a kayak, I moved to the lake a few years ago and haven’t been back in the kayak until last week. I had to do some maintenance to the dock so I jumped in the kayak and had at it. I almost forgot how much fun it was in the kayak. I have a feeling I am going to be kayaking the lake a lot this year.

I was a belly boat man when I was heavy into fly fishing....

Just an FYI to anybody who might be interested… I have a really nice Hobie pedal kayak for sale here:

I picked up a 10’ fishing kayak Black Friday for $100 and some change. I love that thing, so much easier less of a hassle than a normal boat. No trailer can launch practically anywhere.

I just looked at my post in this thread from last year and realized how much I failed on what I said. I only took the yak out twice last year. Things just never did pan out for me. I did plan to take it out a third time on Labor Day weekend but a buddy brought up his 2 man pond hopper and we used it. I did some work to mine and can "legally" night fish with it. It's a little discerning drilling holes in the yak but sometimes you just have to. I'm still waiting on some wire loom to show up so I can clean up the clutter a bit. I'm using a small powersports battery to run everything. If I get a fish/depth finder the battery will power it too. I picked up the front LED lights at Academy and the rear light, mount and switch panel came from Wal-Mart. I haven't been out on it yet this year. Still working at the moment. I recently painted my s--t pipes...I mean PVC rod holders blue. They look much better now.

Last year out at Greene-Sullivan.
