Fishing Paddle Board Overview
Do you sit when you fish? Stand while you fish? How about both? That's the beauty of SUP fishing. Some say it's like fishing from a portable dock that you can move around to all the little fishing nooks on the lake. Equipped with gear mounts and D-rings to outfit your board with all the angling gear you own, you'll be set for a full day. Some fishing SUPs are inflatable, which is crazy to think that instead of hooking a boat or kayak up to a trailer both ways, you just throw your catch in the cooler, deflate your SUP, and off you go!
