Casting From a Fishing Kayak

Jeff reflects on casting from various fishing kayaks:

-”Yesterday got me to thinking again about just how good the casting position is from a W kayak.  In the riding position the power that can be put into a cast is nothing short of incredible. Gear balance is important but with the W kayak it is possible I believe to impart more power to a cast than from virtually any other water craft.  This includes standing on the deck or a bass or flats boat.  The W is the base of the a launcher in the form of a human body. The other thing is under windy conditions the angle of the cast from a W kayak with the increased power allows better distance if you must cast into the wind.  This whole thing is a subject for much more study.
