From farm ponds to streams and small rivers, an angler or group of anglers can set off on an adventure of a lifetime while staying within driving distance of one’s very own mailbox. The neatest thing for the everyday angler is the small bodies of waters that owning a kayak can open you up to.
Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, and other species of game fish can be very accessible to an angler when fishing from a small vessel such as a kayak. Wonderful, tranquil waters await those with kayaks such as the beautiful Reelfoot Lake. Plus the price of owning a kayak won’t break the bank, or make the little lady of the house put you out on the front porch for a few nights, if you know what I mean.Īn angler can fish on large bodies such as Kentucky Lake or small rivers like the Hatchie, Obion, or Forked Deer. With the invention of plastic injection molding, kayak manufacturing companies such and NuCanoe, Jackson Kayak, and Hobie as well as many others have helped to put anglers on waters that were, for the most part, inaccessible to fishermen with larger vessels. Kayaking has become one of the fastest growing sports in the South and with the creation of the fishing kayak, anglers both young and old alike have been inspired to take to the waters for a kayaking adventure. This scenario is happening all across the great state of Tennessee on any given summer morning.
