Gary Robinson, dedicated kayak angler and blogger, had some enjoyable fishing along the Connemara coastline last week. Gary had some great days out with pollack and wrasse hitting his soft plastics with gusto. He made very effort to maximise his fishing using some great rigs from his new sponsors Cox and Rawle and deploying a drogue to control his drift and and fishfinder to target his quarry.

Kayak angling in Ireland

Gary discovered the thrill, freedom and pure joy of kayak fishing almost by accident. After purchasing kayaks with the intention of paddling trips with his long-suffering partner, he started to assess the suitability of such a craft as a fishing platform. Some internet searches showed him that he was not alone in his thoughts. America and Australia already had blossoming populations of kayak anglers. Needing no more encouragement, he set about rigging his first sit on top kayak and transforming it into a fishing platform to gain access to some of the more inaccessible waters. Now into his fifth year of kayak fishing he shows no sign of slowing down.
