There's something unique about being that close to the water and fishing skinny water that would otherwise may a challenge to navigate.

That's one of my favorite things about kayak fishing.

This is a great idea...may look into this so it saves me trying to plan with a buddy for drop-off and pick-up duties with two vehicles!   

I also set mine up with stick steer and have a rudder type attachment on the motor shaft which allows me to stand while drifting downstream and use the motor as a rudder.  It has taken me a little while to figure out what I want in a motorized kayak but I am pretty much there at this point.  I was motorless for years and finally pulled the trigger on a motor for this exact purpose, self supported river shuttles.

Part of the huge problem with kayak fishing/fishermen are they try and solve problems they don't even have because some guy on the internet said to do it.  I have been kayak fishing for over 2 decades now and I just got a warranty replacement boat (something that doesn't happen on pond prowlers or jon boats) and I still didn't rig it up until I fished it a few times and waited to see what this particular boat needed to have done.
