| Kayaks
Originally developed by indigenous people living in the Arctic regions, who used the boats to hunt on inland lakes, rivers and the coastal waters of the Arctic Ocean, North Atlantic, Bering Sea and North Pacific oceans. The first kayaks were constructed from stitched animal skins such as seal stretched over a wooden frame made from collected driftwood, as many of the areas of their construction were treeless. Archaeologists have found evidence indicating that kayaks are at least 4000 years old.
Fishing techniques
Techniques used in kayak fishing are essentially the same as those used on other fishing boats. The difference in Kayak fishing is that the set-up, how each piece of equipment is fitted to the kayak, and how each activity is carried out on such a small craft.
Kayaks can be equipped with fishing accessories such as anchor trolleys, rod holders, electronic fish finders and live bait containers. Kayak fisherman target highly prized gamefish like snook, red drum, seatrout, tarpon, halibut and cod, tuna, sailfish, wahoo, and even marlin!.
