Can you believe the gear we loaded on this sleek pedal powered vessel? We launched from “Pelican Point” off Cholla Bay just around the bend northwest from Puerto Peñasco. These photos are from our most recent fishing trip in a two person pedal kayak. The sea here is famously calm and hosts a variety of fish that always seem to be waiting for a bated hook or lure to pass by. One of the great sea kayak fishing locales on our planet is in the northern part of the Sea of Cortez, right off the sandy beaches of Puerto Peñasco (aka Rocky Point) about an hour south of the Arizona border in the state of Sonora, Mexico. Serious sea kayak fishing was one of the secondary explosions in growth from these new lighter weight, better handling designs and has been increasingly accepted by avid fisherpersons around the world. Then they introduced pedals with the paddles and made the kayak so slacker-friendly that any mortal taller than about four feet can now enjoy a memorable kayaking experience with age hardly entering the picture. Thus began a collaboration of their brightest design and marketing engineers to revolutionize usability and handling of the old standard kayak.įirst, they came up with a more stable, easy on, easy off, sit-on-top design that expanded their market beyond expectations. To reach this vast new market, research revealed, a more user friendly design was needed. It took the kayak makers about 50 years to figure out that there is a huge market of novices beyond their hardcore white water challengers and long distance paddlers. Now, if you’ve never kayaked, much less fished from one, your head is surely asking for more clarification, like, “Kayaking in the sea with a big, long fishing rod?” And if you are visualizing a kayak as one of those short boats resembling a cocoon that’s pointed at both ends and not much wider than the half a human body sticking up from the middle, working a double-ended paddle with total abandon, well, think again, sea pilgrim!
