Default Re: Kayak Fishing

I Kayak fish very regularly out of NJ saltwater bays and fresh water rivers and lakes in North Jersey. There are 2 main types of kayaks you can purchase. Sit on tops and Sit inside. They are exactly how they sound, if your going to fish saltwater I would strongly recommend getting a kayak which you can sit on top (less chance of swamping and sinking if you take on a wave) Also you can get a paddle kayak or a peddle kayak. This depends on your personal preference and budget since peddle kayaks are much more expensive. Non motorized vessels under 12ft do not need to be registered, but you must carry a USCG certified life vest (I always wear mine, its useless if its stowed away) and a sound signaling device.

Feel free to contact me if you need more specific help, I would be happy to assist.
