Location: Appleton, WI | I fish out of a sit on top kayak a lot. I have taken muskies. there are logistical issues you have to deal with. Yes you will get towed, known as a sleigh ride in the kayak fishing world. wind can be a problem on large bodies of water, I do carry a drift sock. fish at boat side you need a net or boga to get control, if they are green I throw a wet towel over there eyes and they mellow right out. the drift sock can also be used to put pressure on a fish by creating drag. Guys catch sailfish and sharks out of kayaks. Muskies can be done. I would not start there, I would get my feet wet with other species first and work up to the bigger things. I will pinch barbs down to also help speed release. They make really good row trollers :). It is not for everyone but it is a really fun way to fish. Just thought I would throw in some insight, Tightlines! |
