Ever Been Fishing on a Paddleboard?!?!
SUP Fishing is rapidly catching the imagination of the
larger fishing community, and it is quickly becoming one of the go-to ways to
have fun on your paddle board. Fishing from a paddle board is not only fun, it
is also extremely convenient. One of the best things about stand up paddle
board fishing is that you can go almost anywhere, especially narrow and shallow
places that you perhaps wouldn’t be able to access in a boat. Paddle board
companies are now designing wider, more stable paddleboards, specifically for
fishing.
Below is a list of three paddleboards that are perfect for fishing,
and a few accessories that could come in handy. All products listed are available to purchase in store only, be sure to drop in and check them out!
FYI, we will let you try out any paddleboard in the shop across the street in Lake Ivanhoe.

The HD, was
designed as a versatile board for recreation, fishing, and expeditions by
allowing paddlers to carry a variety of different gear. The twelve-foot HD is
capable of supporting 375 pounds of weight, which is an impressive feat for a
watercraft weighing only 34 pounds. Built-in bungee straps on the front and
rear of the board allow paddlers to securely fasten gear to the deck of the
board. Whether you are fishing, training, out on expeditions, or just having a
cool day on the water with your kids, the HD can do it all.
