Beating High Gas Prices by Staying Close to Home AND Catching Lots of Fish!

 | By Seamus on 6/17/2022 3:53:00 PM | Views (245)

 
Here's a good size striper that I recently landed
from my kayak.  The Old Town Sportsman
10-6 PDL pedal kayak has been a game changer
for me this spring. By the way, that fish was 
released in good shape right after the photo was
taken.

So, it's a big problem for all of us.  Gas prices have gone through the roof with no relief in sight.  During normal years I am traveling a lot to fish....might be at the Canal one day, along the RI oceanfront another and even in Boston Harbor on some evenings.  But, like so many fishermen out there I am cutting back on my travels and fishing closer to home.

One big adjustment I have made is spending more time in the Bay.  Heck, there are loads of places with loads of fish within 20 miles of my house. While I have caught good numbers of stripers and big blues from shore in the Bay this spring, I have to say the kayak has been a gamechanger for me. It has put me into incredible numbers of fish at times. I have been out more in that kayak this year than in any other year and it is only mid June!

For anyone contemplating the purchase of a kayak for fishing, I will tell you the pedal kayaks are the way to go. They are expensive but worth every penny.  It's hands free operation to give you an advantage for fishing, and it offers quick and stealthy pedaling to your destinations.  Another word of advice here is to get a kayak that pedals in reverse.  Mine is an Old Town Sportsman 10-6 PDL.  My pedal drive runs like pedaling a bike. To go in reverse I just have to pedal the drive in the opposite direction.  The reverse helps me stay in one position.  It can also aid in fighting a big fish that might be taking you for a ride. When on the fish, I use the reverse almost as much as I use the forward to maintain my position.
