Wayne Taylor from Florida outfitted his Wavewalk fishing kayak with a pair of DIY outriggers and oarlocks (read more about this boat). He sent this picture today with a short report:
-”I went fishing today with my wave walk. The oar concept works great for me as I fish small bodies of water. I’ve tried the trolling motor concept and it was too much weight and hassle for me. The issue about the oars is, I can make minor corrections to my position without laying my rod down. Using one oar at a time etc.”
Judging by Wayne's catch, his concept works pretty well, doesn't it?
Makes perfect sense.
Nice catch!

Making minor corrections to your position without laying down your fishing rod – This is an example for what I call the art of fishing

I like the idea of being able to paddle or row according to need
