So, you want to start kayak fishing? Well, you have come to the right place then. Kayak fishing combines the thrill of fishing, offering an immersive experience for anglers. Fishing from a kayak can be an advantage because you can access more water and spook fewer fish in a kayak compared to a bigger boat with a motor. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to try something new or a beginner eager to explore the waters, kayak fishing can be an exciting adventure. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to start kayak fishing, from choosing the right kayak to essential gear and safety tips.
The first step in starting kayak fishing is selecting the right fishing kayak for your needs. Various types of kayaks are available, each designed with different features and functionalities.
Feelfree Sit-On-Top Fishing Kayaks come in a variety of different sizes, propulsion options, and are extremely stable and versatile.
You also need to consider whether a pedal kayak or a traditional paddle kayak is best for what type of water you will be fishing. Pedal-drive kayaks allow you to propel the kayak with your feet and ultimately free your hands to fish. On the contrary, pedal kayaks need more clearance because the drive is below the kayak. We recommend sticking with a paddle kayak if you plan to fish in shallow areas. In addition to clearance, the paddle kayak is much simpler and weighs less.

Pedal drive fishing kayaks let your feet control your position while your hands are free to fish.
The Feelfree Lure 11.5 V2 OD is a great pedal drive fishing kayak and has become a staple among anglers of all skill levels. This kayak is paired with the Overdrive Pedal unit and is compatible with the Motor drive. We recommend this kayak as you can grow into the system for many years to come. 
The Feelfree Moken 12.5 is a great paddle fishing kayak and has been a quiver killer for many years. The Moken 12.5 can handle everything from rivers, lakes, and coastal fishing experiences. We recommend this kayak for the true outdoorsman looking to get off the beaten path.
