im using the aqua marina drift fishing board. super cool because it comes with a cooler/tackle box and 2 fishing rod holders. the side tho do scare me as it seems like it doesn't take much to pop. Also havent bee able to fit in the bag it came with which is kinda irritating.
Cool man. I almost bought one of those drifts. But decided to hang onto my fusion until it breaks. I bet the drift is more comfortable to fish from but also a bit more bulky.
Hey mate, love the videos and now I'm really keen on sup fishing. So you're obviously not using a fish finder on a sup, so what do you look for when fishing on salt water? Thanks.
Cheers man. I sometimes use a portable deeper pro fishfinder on the sup. But often I just drift around rocky headlands with some lures or look for some bird and other surface activity.
Nice video! Do you think it would be ok to use it for fishing in the ocean? I have a Zray x2 (10'10"x30"x6"), so I'd like to try it in the Chilean Pacific coast .
Hey there, thanks. I use mine in the open ocean a bit. But since it's inflatable I usually don't go too far away from shore. Only a couple hundred meters max just in case something goes wrong. Good to paddle around headlands or to get past the tidal line into the first drop off.
Nah it's pretty stable. Just need to practice the balance a bit before attempting to fish off it. If you hook into a big fish you can always kneel down for stability.
Yeah I got a small anchor, but I hardly ever use it. For some reason I don't enjoy fishing when anchored up. For me, drifting is much more fun and productive when fishing with lures. A drift anchor can come in handy when it's windy. But honestly, on a SUP - the less gear you take the more fun you have. Just a rod, a couple of lures and maybe a landing net. Simple and easy.
Yeah kayak paddles and a seat can help. I also do a lot of kayak fishing so I just use my kayak if conditions are not suitable for the SUP. But converting a SUP into a kayak is an option. You'll get a lot more wet though.
Yeah I would think so. I haven't bothered with it yet. But would be a good idea and also more comfortable. It doesn't have attachment points for a cooler. You'd have to make up something.
This would be perfect for fly fishing on small lakes or estuaries. On my to do list.
yes absolutely. I used it for fly fishing with good success, even though I'm still a bit of a rookie with the fly rod.
Best video out there about inflable paddle board fishing
Thanks man, appreciate the feedback 👍
Good advice. 👍

Looks like a good idea to get a cheap peddle board in the future. Keep fishing 🤘
For sure! Especially suitable for travelling and fishing :)

I'm looking to buy one but afraid of hooking and sinking

Why don't you get a small SUP anchor

wouldn't it be better with a kayak paddle in windy conditions, and kneeling down (or a seat if you have the D-rings)

Yeah kayak paddles and a seat can help. I also do a lot of kayak fishing so I just use my kayak if conditions are not suitable for the SUP. But converting a SUP into a kayak is an option. You'll get a lot more wet though.
Is it stable enough to put a cooler on it for a seat?
Yeah I would think so. I haven't bothered with it yet. But would be a good idea and also more comfortable. It doesn't have attachment points for a cooler. You'd have to make up something.
