Brief overview of my fishing canoe, if you have any inquiries feel free to message me i'd be happy to answer them.. I was contacted a while ago by a cool guy named mario from texas. he wanted to know more about my fish finder install on my mad river canoe. mario also owns a mad river canoe with a sweet setup for fishing.. Today we'll show you how your kayak fishing setup should look like, what you can leave behind and what gear you can't leave home without. rod holders: store-bought and home-made. it is obvious that you are unable to hold a fishing pole while paddling. that is why rod holders are essential to fishing from a kayak..
Rod holders let's start with the one thing that separates the tricked out fishing kayak from a surfboard - rod holders. i can still remember cutting holes in my first kayak (bought it at a sam's club) and mounting rod holders behind the seat.. In my kayak, i take one, plus a pack rod as a spare in case something happens to the main one. i have a small tackle binder loaded with soft plastics and a small tackle box (very small, like about 3.5" x 6" x 2") loaded up with weights and hooks and jig heads. that is my total kayak fishing outfit. when in my canoe, i take great big gobs of tackle..
