Question for Boat owners - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Kayak yes. Boat no. That's what friends are for.

I went from a 14' Rib to a 17' ProLine Center Console, then to a PA12.
Bust
Out
Another
Thousand........Yes, that's what boat stands for. So true that you can reach unattainable grounds in a boat vs a yak, but in always cracks me up cruising around the PB'ers and Party boats in LJ.....just thinking....I've got so much less into this than you, and are pulling on the same fish.

Stand in a cold shower and rip up hundred dollar bills; that's owning a boat.

Had a few boats in my life from 14' outboards to sailboats to 23' blue water crusiers. Sold them all, now I have one kayak and a lot more time to fish.

For the few times a year you want to go 50+ miles out; pay somebody else. It's cheaper in the long run.

had an ocena kayak trident then sold it to buy an outback. then sold the outback to buy a triumph skiff. then sold the skiff to buy the 22' seafox viper with a 200 yamaha. Love my boat wouldnt go back. I can cover way more water on the boat vs. yak. plus we fish cat sci coronados. yes its costly and more work, but to me its worth it.

I have a boat and a kayak. I only fish on the kayak. The boat gets used maybe 5 times a year. Only reason I keep it for when the whole family gets together. Thought of buying a skiff for fishing. But think I going to stick to the kayak.

100 % agree with Nick. I had a skiff, sold it when my son was born 8 years ago, got a hobie sport then moved to the quest 13 for open water, then a revo so I could go further, son wanted to go out with me so got another skiff, now in the market for a 25 foot walk around or pilot house. We will most likely have a kayak or paddle board to go with it but the boat is king for us as we go out as a family a lot more now that our kids are older and can drive the boat while I fish.

This thread is kind of silly to me. comparing a kayak to a boat is like
comparing a bicycle to car. if you can't catch fish on a boat...not in a kayak either. Like a car, if you can't afford a boat and you still want to fish, buy a
kayak.
