Take Me to Your Leader!

Kayak fisherman, Lulworth Cove, Dorset

In recent years, there has been an explosion in the popularity of kayak fishing in the UK, making it possibly the largest growth area of paddlesport. Most kayak anglers use specially designed sit-on-tops, as depicted. Beyond those facts, the sport of fishing is frankly a mystery to me, a situation I’d like to rectify. I have been known to attempt a bit of fishing from kayaks myself, albeit with zero success; partly due to my general ineptitude, partly because long expedition kayaks like mine aren’t exactly brilliant platforms for catching and landing reluctant and peeved fish.

The photo below depicts Heather in British Columbia a few years ago, showing how it is done. I really must get her to teach me the knack of this fishing business …

About

Over the past eighteen months I have researched, photographed and written a sea kayaking guide to the South West of England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight. I have been using this blog to keep folk updated as to my progress and to reveal some of the wonderful scenery, culture and wildlife of this little corner of England.
