Say I had an unbelievably fantastic year on the Tour and finished 11th out of 170 boats in every single tournament. So taking into consideration my $900/month boat payment and $140/month in boat insurance (no I’m not exaggerating), I was looking at having to work 20 weekends in exchange for 8 weeks off and put up roughly $77,480 to fish the Tour for one year. Much less the expenses that would come along the way fishing the Tour which would likely exceed another $30,000. But I was unable to come up with the $35,000 for the entry fees.

I received dozens of messages from different anglers about their experiences and setups. Let’s just say I’m glad I waited a month to write my kayak fishing review!īut what I soon experienced was one of the things I had heard the most about kayak fishing, the camaraderie. My first impressions of fishing for bass from a kayak were certainly mixed after that trip. I wasn’t in a very good boat, so I was hurting after a few hours but I had a blast. Kayak Fishing Review: My Transition to a Kayak So I thought it would be good to talk a little about where my heads at and how kayak fishing has measured up to my expectations so far.
