Fishing Kayaks & Accessories
Built for Mornings Like This
You know the kind. The truck’s already warmed up, rods are loaded, and there’s just enough light to see the fog blanketing the surface of the lake. This isn’t about speed or flash—this is about slipping into your favorite fishing spot, quiet and steady, with everything you need and nothing you don’t.
That’s what a good fishing kayak does—it gets you there. Smooth, stable, and ready to haul what you hook, using no gas and creating no noise.
And if you don’t fish, take your binoculars and look for your favorite wildlife, or use it as a photography platform where you don’t have to worry about the $10,000 400mm lens that allows those waterfowl shots you can only get from the water.
The Best Fishing Kayak for the Job
At Rutabaga Paddlesports we carry the boats that work as hard as you do—Bonafide, Old Town, Native, and Jackson—brands trusted by folks who actually fish. Looking for the best fishing kayak for standing, casting, pedalling, or long days on the water? We’ve got options built for balance, tracking, and storage that make a real difference.
Thinking hands-free? Come try a fishing kayak with pedal or electronic drives and see what a smooth, quiet approach really feels like.
Rigged Right
Fishing kayaks are like Harleys. You start with a stock model and the customization makes it yours. Rod holders where you want ‘em. Dry storage that actually stays dry. Anchors, crates, fish finders, GPS to find your hot spots, and gear tracks for every little tweak that makes your setup yours.
Need help getting it dialed in? Our crew knows outfitting and we’re here to help.
Test It. Feel It. Then Decide.
At Rutabaga Paddlesports we have a 3-acre test paddle pond on site where you can feel the boat under you before you buy. Step into the boat. Cast a line if you wish. Try out one of our fishing kayaks with a pedal drive, or paddle the one that’s caught your eye.
This isn’t a self-serve box store experience—it’s real-deal outfitting from folks who like the water just like you do.
