I do it all the time in a paddle kayak......you don't need peddles to fish.

It's going to be a VERRRRRRRRRRRYYYYY long time before anyone sees me in anything but a paddle kayak. And Jim no i wouldn't, but imagine if that fish you were trying to chase down dragged you over some kelp and your mirage drive all of a sudden doesn't work.......hahaha. This debate is never ending. Both sides are pretty hardcore loyal to their preferred method is propulsion. Bottom line for the OP get what you like the best and don't settle for less if you don't have to.

Yeah but come on Josh, let's be real for one minute...if you're hooked up on two fish...one's a burner about to spool you...the other is straight down heavy...are you Wilderness boys able to chase down the screamer steering with your knee, catching up on line while managing the other fish??? Wait a minute, that was last night's dream. Umm, never mind. Jim

You radio John over and hand over one rod. Remember fishing etiquette, no take backs. If you get broken off your fish, be the bigger guy and cheer him on and take pictures.

So if that fish would have been caught on a Hobie would you go out and buy one? What if it was caught on a boat? Would you go out and buy a boat? The guy just happened to be on a paddle kayak, end of story.

The fact that he happened to be was my point, obviously I hit some nerves saying you can do in a paddle kayak what you can in a hobie.....obviously I am inferior and will never be able to fish out of a paddle kayak. I might as well go trade my I phone in for a rock. Haha I'm so far behind the times.

Yeah it's slow around here.....at least the peddle vs paddle debate is always lively, and good for a laugh...!

momo fish · 03-16-2015, 07:06 PM

I blame the 2 wsb caught over the weekend for this infighting...

Can you paddle and eat a sandwich at the same time?

Good call. That's a big perk. Sippin on a hot cup while peddling!

i have managed to before. Not to mention with my right hand I have very little strength in it and can only hold the paddle with 3 fingers. I'll get a paddle kayak when my right hand stops working completely....

First fishing voyage today in La Jolla and all I can say is WOW
