GRASONVILLE, Md.
Some things are made for each other — black rum and ginger beer, tuna and tomatoes, shorts and flip-flops — and some things are not. Into the latter category I’ve always put kayaks and fishing.
It just seems like the wrong gear for the job. You’re cramped, too low to the water to see the holes and humps on the bottom and angling is impossible while piloting the boat. You can’t cast and reel or twitch a fly if you have both hands on a double-bladed paddle.
But kayak fishing keeps growing in popularity. People seem to like the simplicity, the good aerobic workout, the silence, the carbon footprint you don’t leave behind and the fact that a sea kayak takes you places bigger boats can’t go.
