Any hardcore kayak fishers here?

I'll be getting my first fishing 'yak on March 10th. Anybody here fish exclusively from a kayak?

Not exclusively, but it's part of the rotation! Very enjoyable, and you can get in some skinny water when the crappie go shallow. I also enjoy floating and fishing the Clinch and Caney Fork.

Do you ever get out on big water with your kayak?

Yes I do. My fear is not capsizing, but being visible. I am not going to get on the big water if I know a bass tournament is taking place, for example. Stay visible, and only go in the "running lanes" to do a quick crossing. Full disclosure, if I am going to stay primarily on the big water, I will generally be in my 17' boat.

I don't know about "hardcore" but yes, unless I'm wading a small stream I'm in my kayak.

I have one, i do a lot of exploring in some small rivers in the summertime. Nice to be able to drag it up the steep riverbanks easily.

Me and my brother do. We've had a bass boat most of our lives but a few years back we got into kayak fishing and haven't looked back. We still go out on the bass boat some but mainly the yaks. We are apart of Chattanooga Bass yakkers and fish kayak tournaments with several other groups.

No not really. Only lakes we really fish are Chickamauga, Parksville, Nickajack, Watts bar, and Guntersville. We fished Center Hill last year once and had a good time.
