kayak fishing

I'm very interested in kayak fishing, but there's one tiny, microscopic problem, "I CAN'T SWIM!" is it absolutely necessary? I've gone fishing with my buddies on their 19' boat off Atlantic beach many times with out much fear. Ok, maybe I'm not the smartest guy in the world but I only get a get little terrify when it gets rough, then I put on a life vest.

kayak fishing

Guys, thanks for all the advice, and after much consideration, kayak fishing for me is outta the question. Too many strikes against me, can't swim, nearing 50, and living in a NYC five floor walk-up would just not be too practical. I rented kayaks a number of times in Bahia Honda State Park during my many fishing trips to the Florida Keys and enjoyed every second of it. The idea of casting poppers, diamonds, diving plug etc. in the middle of a blue fish or striper-feeding frenzy from a kayak must be awesome. In my case jumping on slippery rock off jetties possibly falling and cracking my head open is less dangerous than flipping on a kayak. Thanks
