Just another idea I had in me head, Kayak fishing tours.
Used to own a kayak fitted out with sounde,r lecky moter ect and flick soft plastics around the passage a bit and do allright.
Now if I were to get a few of these Kayaks and set em up for fishing, do you think people would come for a tour of the local area and have a fish as well?
Would a lecky motor on a yak draw a bigger market? And would a sounder be needed?
Prob use UHF for coms and soft plastics for fishing.
What are your Ideas and would you do such a tour to try a different angle on fishing that is a lot of fun.

i do a bit of guiding and tours in the u.k , and yes people will pay to gett out in a kayak , tha biggest pain in the arse is getting insurence ,deposits and finding your market .
alot of people are keen to just rent the kayak and go for a paddle around the area ,let alone get a rod out and fish , but ive had some good fish from the yak
legally they have to have lifejackets , distress flares and radio onboad , sounders are a great addition but the engines can be an unnessesary extra cost , i hardly use mine anymore
