These rules are well-intentioned for safety but create challenges for kayak fishers who have wide, bulky fishing kayaks. Standard roof racks often aren’t enough for two fishing kayaks.
Fishing from a kayak offers a unique experience, allowing for a closer connection with nature and access to less pressured waters. There are no gas station stops or the loud revving of engines.
When I first started kayak bass fishing, pedal drive kayaks instantly won me over. Hands-free control—the ability to cast and maneuver without trying to juggle a paddle was the way to go.
