The Kayak Bass Fishing Journey Has Begun

[3crows]

I am new to bass fishing from a kayak but I have owned and do own several kayaks now for over a decade. I use them mostly for SCUBA diving, free dive spearfishing and saltwater fishing. I have landed fish that would make the largest bass look like a minnow (well, relative of course) and ranged several miles to sea, rode out storms and launched and landed through surf. Kayaks are a blast. My first few bass kayak outings proved fruitful but a steep learning curve. 

 

I have never flipped a yak except in the surf and early on when I first started handling SCUBA gear on and off the kayak. My new little Emotion Stealth Angler 10 seems very stable though not as fast as my nearly 15 foot long Ocean Kayak Scupper Pro TW. I think the little Stealth will do great, fits in the bed of my Taco, I can carry it, seems perfect for small water.
