Kayak Fishing

Kayak fishing is popular. Mixing two sports can create new problems.

There is more to kayak fishing than just casting.

Kayak fishing is very popular around Jersey. Explore the coastline, chill out and (hopefully) catch supper!

There is more to sit-on-top kayak fishing than meets the eye. It is not the same as fishing from a pier or a boat. Nor is it the same as just sea kayaking, so it is a good idea to get some training.

If you have no experience of kayaking or fishing it is best to learn each discipline separately. We can offer both introductory kayaking and fishing as separate elements. Email or phone to discuss.
