Southern Maryland Kayaks for Fishing!
For those who know they need to get out away from the shore but are short of funds for a motor, trailer, and boat, for those who have despaired of their fishing boats for the time spent getting to the water and burning expensive quantities of fuel once there, and especially for those looking for a greener fishing alternative, a specially engineered kayak is a great solution.
Kayak fishing is getting more and more popular--there are magazines and web sites devoted to it--and with very good reasons. You're no longer shore-bound, and you have a small enough craft to launch from nearly anywhere. You buy and burn no gas while on the water, and in fact you benefit from the exercise of paddling. You might spend less time getting to fishing spots: I live a five minute walk to a beach, but a twenty minute drive to the marina. I can be on the water, including the walk, faster than I could get to the marina and launch, not to mention the extra no-wake-speed ride time from the marina down the channel and back out to the lake.
You are independent. If your setup allows launching without assistance, you can go virtually anywhere.
Kayaks for fishing are made by numerous boat builders, in two general styles: sit-on-top (the most common) and sit-inside boats. Sit-inside kayaks are what most of us think of when the word "kayak" comes to mind. A sit-on-top is a lot more like a surfboard with a seat molded into it, but they are very popular.
Sit-on-tops have a lot of virtues. Most are relatively inexpensive and easily available. They have nifty dry hatches and some have built-in live wells and bait wells; they come with integral rod holders, some have mounted swiveling rod holders, and a few have innovative hands-free foot-operated propelling mechanisms. Sit-on-tops are virtually impossible to sink, are wide and stable, and easy to climb back onto if you fall off.
