Kayak fishing OTF? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You could always stand and fish off a SUP like the L2Fish from Live Watersports. I feel comfortable casting my fly rod in the bays and you can rig up a leaning bar so that you can cast long distances and cast in a swell or boat wakes with no problem.

One advantage of fly fishing from a kayak VS the surf, is that you can position yourself to have the wind behind you.

While surf fly fishing, most of the time the wind is in your face and against casting. Even with sinking line, long rods, etc. .

The challenge is what makes fly fishing worthwhile.

Hi guys, sorry to post on such an old thread, but I'm new to the forum and I have been fly fishing off a kayak recently.

I've gotten Cuda, Calico, and Bonito off kelp beds. Weed-free hooks are very helpful there.

I got my first Bonito a couple days ago. I thought Calico fought hard, crazy how strong Bonito fight!

Now I'm trying to figure out if Yellowtail are possible OTF of a kayak.

Any suggestions?

It seems like it would be very difficult to find YT unless they were on a bait boil?

Anyway, I'm really happy I found this site!

Best,

Andy

Acorad the summer of 98 I had a blast catching rat yellowtail on the flyrod. We'd find paddies, chum up the fish with a handful of anchovies, and then catch them on the fly. That was all on a boat though. It'd would be hard to hook a yellowtail flyfishing on a kayak, but if you did it you could definitely have something to brag about. Heck if ever there were a year to do it, it'd be this one

Thanks Gr8ful, I think chumming the fish up could be the ticket!
