The Most Ethical Way to Fish There are many advantages in using kayaks for fishing which is why it's becoming the preferred choice for hobbyists and enthusiasts. Because kayaks use only elbow grease, there's no risk of fuel spilling into the lake or sea which could cause harm to the environment. This is also the reason why most national parks, camping and caravanning sites, as well as a lot of beaches recommend the use of kayaks for fishing. Fishing in kayaks is also better for wildlife because it lacks a motor there's no chance of fish or other species getting caught in the propeller. Another benefit of kayaks not having a motor is it gives a chance to quietly navigate the water and - no pun intended - catch fish off guard. The Most Budget-Friendly Way to Fish Kayaks are a practical choice for people who are just getting into fishing as a hobby because of its low price point. Compared to renting or buying a boat or even other watercraft, kayaks are the less expensive option, especially for weekend warriors or those who only have small pockets of time reserved for fishing. Maintenance for kayaks is also very easy on the budget. Since it doesn't have a lot of parts, you already have all you need to start fishing after buying it. It's also a no fuss boat that doesn't take much time and effort to clean, so more time can be spent in fishing rather than in maintenance of your boat. Not to mention, kayaks don't require a lot of storage space. You can simply keep it in your garage and save up on costly storage space or marina fees. The Easiest Way to Start Fishing Because it's very easy to transport and you can launch it from just about anywhere, using fishing kayaks in Perth is a breeze. Depending on what type of fish you want to catch, you can go anywhere in Perth with your kayak. Places like North and South Mole in Fremantle have been reported to have salmon, herring, King George Whiting, and squid. Beginners can head out to Rottnest Island which is famous for offering the highest percentage of catching fish. A big catch can be the experience of a lifetime, especially if what you are there for are striped and bluefin tuna, dolphin fish, Spanish mackerel, and even big game fish. Woodman Point and Kwinana are hailed as one of the best spots for fishing. Popular catch in this area are herring, garfish, tailor, skippy, blue mackerel, and the occasional salmon.
