 | Kayaks suitable for Fishing
More and more fishermen are realizing that a kayak is perhaps the most sensible item to add to your fishing gear. It is quick and easy to access, transport and rig and can get you to places no other craft can reach. It's light and easy to manoeuvre and costs a whole lot less than any speedboat or tinny. Casting from your kayak sure beats trying to cast from the side of a creek where you're sure to get your line and tackle caught in the trees.
You can fish from any kayak or canoe but some are more adapted to fishing than others. Things to look for in a fishing kayak are a stable platform, heaps of storage and a lot of deck space to attach rod holders, fish finders and all the other gadgets that will help you bring in that big one that others only talk about.
The following are some of the kayaks that we stock that are supplied ready for fishing:
Cobra Fish n Dive (sit-on-top) - Our overall best selling fishing kayak, the Fish n Dive is all about fishing and comes standard with four rod holders, an extremely wide stable platform, massive storage hatch with bucket, paddle clips and huge rear storage well with gear straps. The feedback we have received from customers who have bought this fishing kayak has been awesome.
Cobra Pro-Fisherman (sit-on-top) - The Pro fisherman is perhaps the best laid out fishing kayak available in Australia today. A modern take of the classic Ocean Kayak Prowler it seems. It comes standard with two rod holders, two massive storage hatches plus two smaller moulded in bait boxes, two drink holders and large rear storage well with gear straps. The Pro-Fisherman comes with a rudder.
D.A.G. Fish'n (sit-on-top) - The Fish'n is a compact fishing kayak for the keen fisherman looking for a smaller fishing kayak. It is very stable and comes standard with two flush mounted rod holders, one swivel rod holder, large round storage hatch, comfy seat with backrest, paddle holders and large storage well with bungie.
D.A.G. Midway Angler (4.4m) - The Midway is our best selling sit on top Polyethylene touring kayak. With sea kayak bow, large storage hatch and lean sea-worthy design the Midway is a real winner and relatively well priced. The Midway comes in an Angler Version, which has two rod holders. Ideal for the fisherman also looking to do some touring.
Prowler 13 (sit-on-top) - The Prowler 13 is something of a classic. Perhaps one of the first ready-to-go fishing kayaks on the market. There are not many kayak fishermen that have not come across the Prowler. The Prowler 13 comes with or without a rudder.
Prowler 4.5 (sit-on-top) - The Prowler 4.5 is a longer, faster version of the popular Prowler 13. Aside from it's extra length and sharper bow the Prowler 4.5 has all the features of th Prowler 13, , large hatch up front, smaller hatch in the middle, drink holder and large rear tank well. The Prowler 4.5 also comes with or without a rudder.
