Kayak Fishing in Mauritius
Kayak Fishing - Ecological sport activity
Certified Captain of the International Game Fish Association(IGFA)
While native people of the Arctic regions did not rely on kayaks for fishing, in recent years sport fishing from kayaks has become popular in both fresh and salt water, especially in warmer regions. Specially designed fishing kayaks have emerged, with designs similar to those of recreational sit-in and sit-on-top kayaks characterized by very wide beams (up to 36 inches) that increase lateral stability.
In the past several years kayak fishing has become a huge sport. Kayak Fishing has taken off dramatically in South Africa. Game fish are caught along the coastline North and South of Durban. Huge fish like Marlin and Sailfish can be caught.
Many of the techniques used in kayak fishing are essentially the same as those used on other fishing boats. The difference is in the set-up, how each piece of equipment is fitted to the kayak, and how each activity is carried out on such a small craft.
While bottom fishing or jigging can be done from small boats, it was long thought that effective trolling required speeds of five to ten knots, a speed well out of the range of someone paddling. However, the discovery that fish could be taken at much lesser speeds has increased the popularity of kayak fishing.
Anglers launch kayaks from larger boats well offshore so they can play game fish from the kayak. They find much excitement fighting a game fish as it pulls the kayak through the water.
Release the fish if u want or catch it for a good cause.
Some of the fishes caught will be donated to Centres for poor people, and some will be grilled for all of us on Popeye(Our fishing boat), where all the anglers and crews will meet and watch the best movie of the week.
Even if you didn’t go yet fishing with us, you’re also invited to join the angler’s party.
