Kayak Travel Destinations
sense
Weather its the sea, local river, or lake, kayak travel can bring incredible enjoyment and excitement. Free to move where you want and explore any where you please. An amazing feeling combined with a unity to the water, and nature. See things you could never seen sitting in the city watching tv on a weekend. Experience the vastness of the body of water your exploring, and learn new things about the area you never knew existed. Find new fishing spots, and see wild animals that you would not ordinarily see. Some early forms of kayak were made from a wooden frame covered with sealskin. Kayak designs were originally from the Inuit civilization, a group of artic indigenous people. They used them for ever means of life and survival. Some people have become so experienced with kayaks, they have learn to control there bodies so much as to prevent capcizing which is known as a Eskimos Roll.

Potomac River, Maryland
Known as a whitewater gem. At the right time in the morning one can expect ot catch 10-20 fish easy. A little after morning large and smallmouth bass begin to appear.
When to Go: March-October
Fish to Fish: Bass-striped, largemouth, and smallmouth. Some fly fishermen stalk the Potomac's carp with a fly rod-a pursuit not unlike fishing for bonefish on the tidal flats of the Florida Keys-minus the tropical islands. Where They Hide: Stripers tend to congregate around bait-attracting structure when they make their appearance. Largemouth are generally to be found in the slower areas that are rich in weed beds. For smallmouth, look for rocky structure and current.
Terminal Tackle: Crankbait, spinners, Clousers, floating plugs-it all depends on where you are fishing and what you are after. Like its paddling treasures, which range from Class V to still water, the Potomac's fishing is extremely varied.

Puget Sound, Washington
In itself a monster, at an estimated over 2000 miles of shoreline, and a major surplus of trout and salmon, it truly is a kayaker/kayak anglers dream vacation spot.
When to Go: 12 blessed months per year
Fish to Fish: Salmon, sea-run cutthroat trout (catch and release only), steelhead, lingcod, flounder
Where They Hide: Epic tide changes, varying baitfish habits, and fish migratory routes make this piece of water especially challenging to fish effectively for an out-of-towner. Cruise www.washingtonflyfishing.com for beta.
Terminal Tackle: It varies greatly, but baitfish lures and patterns in brown, olive, chartreuse, and hot pink are consistent producers.potomac.jpg

East Matagorda Bay, Texas
This is one destination where kayaks are preferred over motorized craft. Also, there is a bunch of kayak trails that lead to a great redfish, and specled trout fishing spot, and do not have to worry about motorized boats, because they have no access.
When to Go: Fall (October-November) is the best, but it's fair to good year-round. Mornings are an ideal time to be out there.
Fish to Fish: Redfish and speckled trout
Where They Hide: In the grassy flats and along protected shorelines
What They Bite: For live bait, you can't beat shrimp. As for artificial lures, try gold spoons and soft plastics (in either strawberry/white or pearl/chartreuse) with 1/4- and 1/8-ounce jigheads.
