Kayaking with 10 foot kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Jack210 · 11-24-2015, 12:29 PM

I weigh about 135 and I am 5' 10'' also I am 14, so I am pretty athletic if that helps at all. I am new to kayak fishing except for going to aqua hedionda lagoon a couple times. The kayak is a Sun Dolphin Bali SS 10'. I will be fishing off it and maybe dive off it in the future. Thank you for the replies!

Just be careful with that boat and don't go out alone. I'm only saying this for your own safety. If it starts to feel unstable at all head for shore immediately. There have been a lot of reports of leaks on these and a kayak loaded with water becomes unstable rapidly. These boat do not have floatation inside nor access to bail them out. Once you get past the point of no return, you will be better off swimming for shore because you will tire out trying to get back on and then flipping again. Wearing your PFD is once again very highly recommended.
