Well the results are in, thanks to the individuals who voted. The purpose of polls on KFA is to provide feedback on readers, allow readers to scope what others may have been doing/using and to provide interaction. The choices may be limited (Depending on the question) but in most cases they, and the answers, will be genuine enough to gauge an overall feel/result on the subject.
What is really interesting to note is the newcomer and seasoned results. Over 30% of visitors who voted have been fishing from their kayak for over a year and under three. What would have been even more interesting is if the poll reflected choices of 0 - 1 years and perhaps one year increments. The same could be said for all over categories including a 'missing' 10 years + category.
No matter the result its clear each and every one of you enjoy kayak fishing as much now as you did when you first started. The newcomers of the sport, I remember exactly what you are feeling and words can't really capture that (Except perhaps 'enjoyment' or 'exhilaration'). It's a wonderful hybrid sporting activity and thoroughly enjoyable when participated with close friends and family.
To the seasoned yak anglers, who I am sure enjoys sharing his experiences as much as we do, I can see why you stuck around. Physical conditioning aside the fishing can be so much better than the days of old, trudging a bank or negotiating a slippery boat ramp during your waters 'peak season'. Most people I speak to mention they have caught more fish in the last 10 years than the last 20.
