I was wondering if any of you guys ever bottom fish from your yaks? I (still) don't have a kayak, but I want to get one as soon as I'm able, hopefully next spring. In any case, I read your posts about stripers, blues, and false albacore, but I never hear about fluonder, fluke, tog, or any of the other popular bottom dwellers. Is that because it's difficult to bottom fish from a yak, or are all just more into the striper fishing as a matter of taste? Regardless, I think what you're all doing is awsome & I hope to join your ranks one day soon.

This has been my first year with a kayak and I have already caught fluke, porgies, and sea robins (if you can consider them a bottom species). Bottom fishing has been a lot of fun and I intend to do more of it next year. You should not feel limited in the type of fishing that you do from your kayak.

Kayaks are great for bottom species. You can drift areas that would challenge a boat for fluke and literally get right on top of structure for porgies and blackfish.
