How to Fish in the Kayak?

Nowadays, more and more people want to have a try of kayak fishing, because it has no limitation of the spot, you don’t have to stand on the shore and waiting for the fish to have a bite. In other words, you can find the fish actively and catch them. At the same time, kayak fishing provides you a good chance to be close to the nature: drive your boat on the sea, lake or the river, you will find some beautiful scenery you’ve never seen.

But actually speaking,  kayak fishing is different from other fishing forms, if you know nothing about how to fish in the kayak, what you can do on the kayak is just see the beautiful scenery. Today, we will tell you some tips about the kayak fishing.

1. Learn to customize your kayak

Before fishing, you should learn how to choose the kayak and how to drive it. The key to successful and enjoyable kayak angling is to ensure that your kayak is outfitted with the right equipment to achieve a good balance between comfort and functionality. At the same time, remember to keep fishing tackles, pliers, a landing net, water and other important items within easy reach.

  2. Learn to choose the right fishing tackles

  Buy the braid lines: Thin, strong, non-stretch braid fishing lines are ideal for kayak fishing. Not only do they allow the angler cast further and put more action into his lures, they allow the use of lighter fishing sinkers when baitfishing.
   At the same time, give yourself a rod’s length of line.  Winding in too much line only gives you more to do when you hook a fish or have to remove weeds from your line. Giving yourself a rod’s length of line means that you can grab your lure or fish, and work with a slack line.

   Choose the fishing lures: Use versatile, easy-to-fish lures. This reduces retying and re-rigging, which means you make more casts in the day and catch more fish because of it. Different subspecies prefer different fishing lures, but more importantly, different situations call for the use of different lures. No matter what kind of fish you want to catch, the most important thing to keep in mind when selecting a lure is why the fish will bite an artificial lure.

  3. Other tips

  Your body follows where your head goes: try to keep upright at all times with your head centered over the kayak. Once you must this trick, you will stay comfortably on to of your kayak no matter how much it rolls. I’ve seen people fall in the water simply because they leaned out of the kayak to look around.  

  Change tactics to target different species before leaving an area. Kitchen carries three to five rod and reel combos for fast change-ups between species.

  For comfort, invest in a light paddle. Tether it to the kayak using a leash.

  Please always remember to wear your life vest.

  Once you have a try, I believe you will fall in love with this attractive activity. As long as you practice it again and again, you will find more tips by yourself, and you will have a sense of achievement at that time.

What Do You Know about Kayak Fishing?

   Kayak fishing, a form of fishing which is fishing from a kayak. Kayak fishing has grown in popularity in recent years, because it is virtually open to just about anywhere. You can paddle on lakes, streams and even in the ocean. Even if you’re not a strong paddler, you can still venture out and catch some great fish. At the same time, the design of the boat becomes better and better, and people don’t have to worry about the security problem. But kayak fishing is not easy, you must know something before you have a kayak fishing trip.

   1.  Choose the best kayak
   Kayaks were originally developed by indigenous people living in the Arctic regions, who used the boats to hunt on inland lakes, rivers and the coastal waters of the Arctic Ocean, North Atlantic, Bering Sea and North Pacific oceans. It has long been a means of transportation and the stealth means of approaching easily spooked fish, such as cobia and flounder.
   When you buy or rent a kayak, you shouldn’t choose the first one you see. There are several key factors to consider:
a.  In saltwater or freshwater?
b.  In areas where docks are easy to access?
c.  For bass? Trout? Catfish? etc.
   Different kayak are suitable for different occasions. For example, if you want to fish the large fish, you’d better choose a kayak with more space. And you should also make sure that you will be comfortable when you sit in the kayak.

   2.  Choose the fishing tackles
   No matter you like fishing on the kayak or the pier or anywhere else, right gears can always help you make the most out of every fishing opportunity. Here are some tips for choosing the right fishing gears.
 Fishing rod: Even though you can use any sizes of rod you use in kayak, but it’s better to use a fishing rod which suits your need. It’s better to use shorter fishing rods to use in kayaks. And you have to make sure that it is easy to hold.

Fishing reel: You’d better choose the spinning reels because they are workhorses and are easy to rebuild.

   Fishing lures: Most useful is the buck tail jig. Tip it with a piece of shrimp, squid, or cut bait and it'll catch the majority of species.

   Tackle box: A good fishing tackle box should help you keep everything in order, and can make sure that everything is easily accessible.

   3.  Safety problems
        Although the design of the boat is better and better, but we still need to pay attention to the security. Just in case.
a.   Please always wear your lifejacket when you are on the boat, and keep the a small 
   first aid kit handy
b.   As we all know, Water reflects sunlight strongly, so if you’re out during the day, be 
   sure to bring extra sunscreen.
c.   You’d better consult an experienced kayak fisherman before if you a beginner, and 
   you can follow him when he go fishing if it is possible.


   Kayak fishing is an exciting adventure, and it provides you a brilliant opportunity to drive you closer to the nature. You can have a try if you have such a chance.

What Is Sport Fishing?

When it comes to fishing, we generally divide it into 2 parts: the sport fishing and the commercial fishing. We know that commercial fishing means people catch fish and other seafood for commercial profit, there are many people make their living by commercial fishing. Then, what is sport fishing? What do you know about it?

Sport fishing

Sport fishing also called recreational fishing, it is fishing for pleasure or competition. The most common form of sport fishing is done with a fishing rod, a fishing reel, fishing line, fishing hooks and fishing lures. Of course it has many other fishing tackles which we collectively call them the terminal tackles, for example, the sinkers, fishing float and fishing swivels.

Sport fishing tackles


    It is hard to affirm the early evolution of sport fishing, but we can sure that the sport fishing took a great leap forward after the English Civil War, where a newly found interest in the activity left its mark on the many books and treatises that were written on the subject at the time. British fly-fishing continued to develop in the 19th century, with the emergence of fly fishing clubs, along with the appearance of several books on the subject of fly tying and fly fishing techniques, and this is start of the expansion period of sport fishing, and now, it becomes more and more popular all over the world.

    If you want to experience the sport fishing, you should know the common game fish around us, here is a simple list:

  •      Big game fish are bony saltwater fish such as tuna, tarpon, and billfish (sailfish, marlin and swordfish).
  •    In North America, anglers fish also for common snook, redfish, salmon, trout, bass, pike, catfish, walleye and muskellunge. The smallest fish are called panfish, because they can fit in a normal cooking pan. Examples are crappies, perch, rock bass, bluegill and sunfish. Panfish are often hunted by younger anglers.
  •    In the United Kingdom, "game fish" refers to Salmonids (other than grayling) – that is, salmon, trout and char. Other freshwater fish are called coarse fish.
  •    Some popular game fish have been transported worldwide. Rainbow trout, for instance, can now be found nearly anywhere that the climate is appropriate, from their original home on the Pacific Coast of North America to the mountains of southern Africa.


In the past, sport fishers will always kill the fish they catch even they don’t eat them. But with the increase of the environmental protection consciousness of people, increasingly anglers practice catch and release to improve fish populations. Some game fish are also targeted commercially, particularly salmon.

As a popular game which has thousands of fans, sport fishing has it’s own conventions, rules, licensing restrictions and laws that limit the way in which fish may be caught. The International Game Fish Association (IGFA) makes and oversees a set of voluntary guidelines. The local government will help to put these rules in place.

There is no doubt that the sport fishing is an attractive game. And with the development of the technology, I believe the fishing tackles will become more and more advanced, and the sport fishing will become more and more challenging and humanized.

How to Fish in the Freshwater? (1)

Freshwater fishing is when a fisherman fishes in a body of water that has less than 0.05% salinity, and it is very common in our daily life. There are many differences between saltwater fishing and freshwater fishing, because the species of fish are entirely different. So, the skills of freshwater fishing are different from saltwater fishing.
Freshwater fishing


1. Different style of freshwater fishing
As we all know, freshwater are exist in many places, the ponds, the lakes, the streams and the rivers, they can be both man-made and naturally occurring. Then, the skills of fishing are the same in different places? Well, of course not.

Ponds fishing: Many people think the simplest form of freshwater fishing is pond fishing. It doesn’t need many skills, and only requires some basic things - a cheap rod and reel, some earthworms, and a bobber. The fish in the ponds are easy to catch, If you want to teach the kids to fish, pond fishing is a great choice.

Lake fishing: This is the most popular forms of freshwater fishing. Compared with pond fishing, the fish in the lake contains more species such as the largemouth bass. And the equipment of lake fishing should be better, and you also need the fishing lures. If you have a boat, the lake fishing can be more interesting.

Stream fishing: Stream fishing is usually suitable for someone who wants to catch the trout. As we all know, the trout are wily and wary, and this is the main reason why people go fishing in the stream. There are other fish to be found in many streams, with catfish being one of the most popular non-trout species.

River fishing: Rivers can vary tremendously in size and the fish species they contain. One of the unique fishing opportunities they can offer are runs of spawning fish that only occur during a short period of time during each year.

2. Find the best spot for freshwater fishing
If you plan to have a trip of freshwater fishing, try to find a fishing spot is very important. You can take 4 factors into consideration when you want to find a fishing spot:

   Structure: Structure refers to changes in the shape of the bottom of lakes,rivers, or ponds, caused by rocks, drowned trees, manmade cribs, flooded roadbeds, humps, ledges, and drop-offs. Many fish species live near structure, Lakes and ponds may have shoreline structures such as docks, logs that provide shelter, shade, and protection for fish.

   Salinity and oxygen: Some fish can’t live with much salt in water (like brook trout), but some fish can both live in the salt and fresh water (like striped bass). And different fish species have different requirement for the oxygen in the water. You need learn some basic knowledge about the habits of different fish.

   Temperature: Each fish species has a specific range of water temperature that it enjoys. If you know it, you will know when to try for specific kinds of fish.

   Food: The amount and type of food available in a body of water plays an important role in determining which types of fish you can hope to catch. The currents and water depth are also significant factors. Scrappy sunfish will haunt shallow riffles while lake trout favor the dark, cold depths. Bass will slam baits on the surface, while carp feed heavily on the bottom.

   As the widest spread style of fishing, freshwater fishing has unique charm. And I am sure you will fall in love with it once you have a try.
