I'll give up Kayaking when its time comes, I'm 63 and I'm fighting Cancer in my Liver and Portal vein, but I always when ever get a chance I'll go and fight does YT at point (more fun than fighting Cancer)

never stop believing, experiencing and fighting. Good for you Sir. I hope you have many more YT fights ahead of you.

Nice to see there are so many older guys doing this. I'm 47 and it makes me think I'm not starting too late.

I can paddle for 12 hours and not get tired, and fear getting a pedal kayak because I would then be on the water 24/seven.

Definitely look into making your kayak fishing life easier by:

1. Practicing proper paddle and pacing techniques
2. Sitting in the right posture and remembering to use the hip/torso muscles to provide most of the power for your strokes
3. Invest in high-back seats and cushions
4. Choosing a lighter kayak
5. Have better hardware for loading/unloading
6. Eat and drink plenty to keep your blood~glucose level high
7. Smoke a cuban cigar (hey, look at Fidel C.)
8. Take a flask of your favorite muscle relaxant/pain reliever and sip whenever fatigued

and lastly...

9. Imagine what your life would be like without kayak fishing...

Stay with the Fleet...
