An easy day outside. Been kayaking/kayak fishing for 3 years, it doesn't get you too tired unless you do white water shit.

Your upper body will feel a bit stiff afterwards at first.

I spent 7 hours fishing in the ocean in 15mph winds today, and my body hurts...lol.

It was my 2nd time taking the new kayak out, still learning my limits.

Totally worth it though, I had an amazing time. Just resetting my drifts took forever and was tiring.

It's much easier in a lake or pond with less wind. Much more leisurely.

If you get tired from resetting your drifts, maybe you should get an anchor at some stage.

Can't beat drifting for squid though, works like a charm.

Isn't using an anchor in the ocean dangerous? I do have one for freshwater though. You have to drift for fluke anyway.

A lot of fun. Can get tired easy if you over do it. Take your time, take breaks, and enjoy it. Pull on shore and explore some too.

Wear sunscreen, and sunglasses. Bring some water and a snack. I always bring my phone too, which is waterproof, to take pictures.

No. Unless you're dumb enough to anchor in a shipping channel there's nothing to worry about.

It's a really good idea to fit an anchor trolley to your kayak and have a carabiner and a float on the "dry" end of the anchor line, so you can bail the anchor out to drift and find it again when you want to anchor back up.

I've got a cooper anchor like pic related, cost $25 and weighs 230g. Works a treat even in decent swell

Only if you're a pussy and have shit paddling technique, I don't even use a seat and i can paddle for a few hours with absolutely no pain.

Y'all need to learn how to use body rotation to round out strokes instead of your arms.

I have a trolley and an anchor with a float. But ive read that you could get sucked under by a large wave while anchored since your boat can't ride them.

If you're going out in the kind of weather and swell where that could happen, I sure hope you have a proper 17' sea kayak and a good skirt so you can recover by rolling.

I've never even seen a shark while kayaking and no one in the recorded history of my state has ever been killed by a shark on a kayak.

A couple of deaths from idiots with no experience kayaking rough rocky water alone and with no helmet.

You're seriously more likely to be struck by lightning twice in one minute while kayaking than get eaten by a shark, but if you do see one it's best to move away from it.

Love kayaking, here is a picture from the last time we went. We paddled down a little creek and had to jump over many trees. Heading out for a day trip and picnic tomorrow.

Looks nice anon, we have a mangrove forest nearby with some awesome fishing flats next to it; gonna do some exploring, bait collecting and fishing soon.

Also, is your friend Jughead? He looks like Jughead.

I'm looking to get a kayak that I can use for fishing but know next to nothing about them. Needs to be able to hold a rod or two (which are 2 piece rods so not very long) and a tackle box. Don't know what they cost so I guess my price range is up to $400

On a river or in a lake? If in a lake it'll be relaxing but your arms will be pretty sore the next day and your legs will be a little cramp. If on a river, you're gonna fucking die.

Class 1 or the Niagara River? Warm water or cold? Big lake or small? Fishing or no? Camping or no?

I plan to use it just to go out on lakes for fishing, not necessarily big or small lakes but I'll probably only go out when the waters calm anyway, or calm sections of river. I live in Wisconsin if that helps at all. The water seems to be pretty cold all the time I guess. I'd say about 90% of its use will be fishing

Don't fish so I don't know about fishing kayaks, but you might want a sit-in for the cold water.
