Kayaks Boats for Sale In Dubai

 Fishing Kayaks:

I have fished for as long as I can remember, and tried sea, coarse, and

game fishing, over the years. I enjoyed them all but wanted something

different. Something which would get me closer to nature and closer to the

fish, and allow me to fish spots that no one else could get to. After reading

an article on an American website about kayak fishing, I knew I had to try

it. Since then, I have never looked back.

When I started getting interested in kayak fishing, I gained a lot of

information from online forums such as Anglers Afloat in the UK. The advice

was freely given, and I ended up making some of the best friends I have

ever had. Those forums are now busier than ever, and online forums are

available worldwide to enthuse and advise you. Help is never more than a

question away.

 

Safety:

Safety equipment is all very well, but without the knowledge, experience and training to use it – it is

next to useless. The first thing you must do before going kayak fishing is to get some training. There

are plenty of courses around which will give you the basic skills and advice needed to paddle your

kayak safely. Don’t worry about fishing skills – that comes later, the first thing to do, is to learn how to

paddle and control your kayak. The course needs to include practical hands-on (or perhaps that should

be sitting on !) experience on the water with your kayak – it should include as a minimum the following:

Over the years, I have been given a lot of good

advice, much of it from kayak fishermen much

wiser and more experienced than myself. Most

of it has held me in good stead, and I would like

to share the best bits with you. A lot of it might

seem obvious, but it is all good…

•             Always check the weather forecast before going

out. Take particular note of wind strength and

be very careful if it is blowing offshore. If you

contact the coastguard before you go, you can

get an up-to-date forecast, and also lodge a

paddle plan with them, which will tell them

where you are going and what your plans are.

Remember to tell them when you return from

your trip. Also tell a friend where you are going,

and what time you are going to be back.

•             Try not to fish alone – If you are with someone

else, and something does go wrong, things are

much easier. And besides, kayak fishing is quite

a social sport – you have to have someone to

shout abuse at, when they catch more than

you do

 

Essential Hardware for Fishing Kayaks

Fishing can be a waiting game,

and if you have ever tried to sit in a fishing kayak

without a padded seat for any length of time then

you will appreciate how important a decent seat

is. There are lots of different styles and types.

They range from simple foam pads to fully padded

seats with backrests and gel inserts which can be

converted into camp chairs. The majority of kayak

fishermen go for a seat with a decent amount of

the padding underneath and a backrest which provides

enough support for your back, both when paddling

and when sat fishing. An important consideration

when purchasing a seat is how it will fit when you

are wearing your PFD. If you have a bulky PFD, and

the seatback is quite high, then things can get a

bit uncomfortable – so try one out when you are

wearing your PFD to see how comfortable it is.
