The
ENCYCLOPEDIA of KAYAK FISHING
44 CLIMBING
BACK ON YOUR
WATERY STEED FISH FROM A KAYAK long enough and you’ll eventually fall into the water. To get back into a SOT kayak, follow these simple steps:
1. Swim to the upwind or upstream side of the kayak. Right the kayak if necessary.
2. Reach across and pull the far side towards you, keeping your elbows high.
3. Kick vigorously while pulling yourself across the kayak on your belly. With your head held low, twist your body and pull your legs into the foot wells. —Ric Burnley
3. Wiggle back inside. 2. Grab the far side.

(CONDENSED VERSION)
Ken Schultz’s Fishing Encyclopedia is an astounding 1,916 pages. That’s 12 pounds of angling know- how, as weighty as a trophy trout. The entry for kayak takes up only half a page. Schultz himself would say there’s a lot he left out. Here are 44 kayak fishing tricks, tips and tidbits, most of which you won’t find in Schultz’s landmark volume. Consider it an unofficial addendum to the largest single collection of angling knowledge.
