Reddit mentions of The Ultimate Guide to Kayak Fishing: A Practical Guide (Ultimate Guides)

I think it's all in what you make of it. I've been kayak angling for a long time and went through phases of getting more and more complex, and then simpler and simpler. My rig has a fish finder, still, but I find myself only carrying 2-3 rods now, and a small selection of tackle. Preparation time is reduced because I now use a trailer, so I just need to hook up and go. I can be on the water almost instantly, no carrying gear from truck -> kayak. I think it's a sport that lends itself to simplicity. Not every fishing kayak has to be outfitted like a bass boat. I focus mainly on predator fish now, like pike and gar, and I love the challenge of large fish in a small boat. I wouldn't give up quite so easily. Shameless plug for my book, where I talk in depth about simplicity. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1510711120/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
