Thread: Outrigger / stabilizer for kayak

Thinking about building a set of out riggers for my kayak are they worth the effort and do they stabilize the yak that much? If so what would you guys recommend?

I found lot of youtube videos on this. I've never known anybody who did this, so no experience, but I can see the need. At 63, tall and top heavy, I don't attempt to stand in the Outback, and usually avoid it in the PA as well.

Check out this guys youtube channel. He has a small outboard on the crossbar and runs out to the reefs quite often. https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...+kayak+fishing

Thanks guys I'm seriously considering bringing my kayak down with me instead one of our trips down and trying some fishing from it

depends on how far you are going out and current conditions but i wouldn’t bother. but do what makes you feel safe for best enjoyment.

Do a search on tkf Texas kayak fishermen,,seems they don't use them, just the double pedal Hobie sailers.
