Default Float Tube V Kayak Fishing.

Hi all

I have been approached by both float tubers and also Kayak fishers. We have a non-float tube policy due to areas on the loch that would be unsuitable to vacate the loch. Fishing Kayaks have contacted me. What are your opinions? Please Discuss.

Regards

Adie.

If you are going down those lines can I bring my orkney spinner and save a few quid. The few times I have fished your loch have been enjoyable from your own boats.

If a loch can be fished from an open boat I can see no reason not to use a kayak.

Can't claim to understand float tubes well enough to comment.

Jim, the tubers will bag up before you and be gone before you get your limit.

No more veiws on this?

I thought every man and his dog would have an opinion. If it was mid week would any of you be interested or is it a no brainer?

What's the matter with hiring one of your boats.
