| Bare minimum Hi guys, I,m on a tight budget but would love to get involved in kayak fishing. In your experienced eyes what would be the absolute minumum on kit I should have. (obviously canoe and paddles inc !) Looking at pictures of you guys on tour you have so much kit, fish finders, cameras and god knows what. Any help would be appreciated.     |

Close to shore maccky bashing - just your rods etc - no need to anchor Bottom fishing - anchor set up Drift fishing - possibly a drogue Then the usual stuff - bait box, tackle box, first aid kit, water bottle, mars bar, hat, sun glasses, suncream If you really get into it - a fishfinder & GPS unit(s) with battery mounted, Nav light ... __________________ SUPPORT THE RNLI - click : www.rnli.org.uk ... every little helps !
