Ouch... 😕 Kayaks are a blast! I love fishing out of mine, gently trolling along as a I paddle.
1) Heat & humidity on the James River here in Richmond, VA.
2) Worrying about getting swamped by a wakeboarding boat.
3) Getting skunked over and over on small ponds inside parks, fishing from land.
3a) I just go there to test my lures that I make from parts/pieces from Netcraft.
4) Having to travel an hour, hour & a half, away from Richmond, just to find a nice lake.
5) School age boys (7 yrs old, 8 yrs old) jumping off the public fishing pier, going swimming, even though there is a sign saying NO SWIMMING and that's it's a dedicated fishing pier.
5a) You get frustrated and decide not to reprimand the boys, after seeing the snobby looking Soccer mom watching the boys. Instead of making a scene, you just pack up and go home.
