Default Dragging a line behind a kayak

Is it legal to drag a line behind a boat? I'm thinking of a week-long
trip on a river, and catching fish as you go might be a good idea.

Will the line attached to the boat itself be too rigid?

Most likely yes but you would have to contact the Fish & Game dep't. of the state(s) in
which you plan on Kayaking in.

Is trolling and if trolling is legal in your state, then go for it. Get a
rod holder, or a seat with a rod holder in the back.

That's called trolling!


Just like what you are doing.

Trolling is legal in most states, but check with the state G&F where you
will be traveling. Obviously you will need the appropriate license, stamps,
etc. I would opt for a short moderately stout rod for un attended trolling
like that instead of just tying a line on the kayak. If your kayak is one
of the better known yaks for fishing you should be able to find a seat with
rod holder for your rig.

Check at www.plasticnavy.com

These guys are serious about fishing out of their yaks. These are the
whackos you here about chasing thresher sharks and marline out of a kayak.

I have searched everywhere but cannot find a pic of anyone who has caught a
Thresher or Marlin from a Kayak, could you please direct me to one. I am
very interested in seeing it.

Lots of good sites related to Kayak fishing, but not one picture of a
Thresher or Marlin that was brought in from a Kayak.
