In Response To: S&G: Advice on a design to be used for fishing (quaziman)

: I've been looking around the internet for a few days for a s&g design for a
: fishing sea kayak without much success. I think I need an experienced
: person to let me know if it is even worth getting a sit in kayak if i want
: to fish with it.
: For example, is fishing an off shore reef going to be very difficult with say
: a guillemot?

: I dont mind towing a mesh crate behind the kayak to keep fish i have caught
: in, so live wells arent really necessary, and im sure i could rig up a
: moving, removable table to use to cut bait and fix lines etc.

: Mostly im worried about the tendency to roll over :/

: to sum up, is there compelling reason not to get a sit in for fishing, and
: will a design like a guillemot s&g or a night heron, etc, be so unstable
: as to make it very hard to fish?

: (oh yeh, i will, of course, be using this alot for non fishing purposes too!)

Hi quaziman,
Think outrigger. There was a thread on this recently in relation to sailing, some of the ideas might help.

Kayaks were meant for fishing and hunting
