Enjoy kayak fishing on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa! Introducing a recommended experience tour for beginners!

Interesting words in this article: Okinawa Ishigaki Island Kayak fishing

Until just the other day, I said that this year's heat is long, but when it gets cold, I miss the warmth ... I envy Okinawa because of its warm climate all year round! However, since there are many tourists on the main island of Okinawa, I want to go to a remote island with few people ♪ Ishigaki Island is the best because there are direct flights from Tokyo and the sea is beautiful and it is not a problem to play! As a result of escapism, I found a recommended plan that I would like to play leisurely when I went.

What is kayak fishing?

First of all, what is a kayak? I will explain from the beginning, I think that everyone probably has a mess of canoe and kayak images, but both have the image of a rowing boat and both ends of the boat are sharp. The big difference is that it is a canoe to use a paddle with blades on one side, and a kayak to use a paddle with blades on both ends.

Canoes range from one-seater to large-group kayaks, but kayaks are basically one-seater and at most two-seater, making them small and easy to turn. And the main subject Kayak fishing This is because the activity introduced this time is done by riding a kayak and fishing in a pond or lake, so it is called a sea kayak. Recently, it seems that the play of this genre is also evolving, and it seems that inflatable type (kayak that inflates with air) and folding type (foldable type) that can be carried around have come out and are attracting considerable attention. !! Is it safe? I honestly thought, but it seems that there is no problem if it is a kayak suitable for play purposes because it is stable and there are many types.

As an aside, I'm also interested in SUP fishing using SUP, which has become a hot topic these days, because this is a board rather than a ship like a kayak, so I'm concerned about stability and safety. However, since the area of the sap is larger, the equipment can be loaded more with the sap than with the kayak.

Finally...

It is very interesting, but there are many points to be aware of, kayaking beginners can also experience it, but there is no guide during rental, you can concentrate on fishing, but on the other hand it is dangerous, kayaking operation I want to experience the basics such as equipment after learning it well, and since it is a land I do not know, it may be perfect if I ask you to teach me the tips for finding fish or the points where there are schools of fish. The target age range is from 6 years old, so you can experience it with a family who loves fishing. The location is 10 minutes by car from the airport and 15 minutes from the city center, so it's very easy to access. Ah, I want to go to Ishigaki Island.
