The worst intro to kayak fishing I've ever read...

So I have a couple aggregate RSS feeds set up to find kayak and/or fishing articles and I came across this one today...

"Fishing From Your Kayak? Here Is Some Gear You Might Need"

Here is the actual link...http://king-fish.blogspot.com/2006/10/fishing-from-your-kayak-here-is-some.html

and here is text of the article...  it is neither well written nor very informative.  From what I can tell, the author writes lots of crappy "articles" about hunting and fishing (I did a search) and then sells them to blogs and other websites that need a bit of content here and there between all the ads that make up 75% of their pages.  Anyway, it's almost worth reading just to laugh at.  It is as if he's making it all up having only seen a picture of a fishing kayak once.

Fishing From Your Kayak? Here Is Some Gear You Might Need

Author: Niall Barco

Article: As a kayaker, you might not always want to run the white water. Sometimes, you want to take it easy and do some fishing.

If you plan to fish from your kayak, you will need some necessary gear and accessories. Kayak fishing gear is easy to shop for and fun to use! You will find a variety of gear to make your kayak fishing trip that much smoother and organized.

The access bar is the first accessory that you must buy. The bar attaches to either side of your kayak and is where you can hold your fishing rod and GPS system, if you own one.

Serious fishers also often invest in seats. You will probably find yourself sitting in your kayak for long stretches of time. Seats will come in handy during these times.

Bait tanks and anchors are two other fishing-gear requirements. When you find that hot fishing spot, you know you want to stay there, which will make your anchor come in handy! Bait tanks are excellent if you fish for minnows. Depending on the style of fishing you are practicing, you may or may not need these items.

Fishing gear is essential, especially because you are fishing from a small boat. The key to this is to make sure everything is as organized and compact as possible. This will help you feel that you have plenty of room and, therefore, much more comfortable. Gear for kayaks is designed with organization and practical use in mind.

You will find some awesome gadgets for your new kayak fishing adventure! Convert your kayak into a professional fishing boat with only a few accessories that can add fun to your fishing trip.

You will soon be able to combine two of my favorite pastimes - fishing and kayaking - and be having a great time.

You will be able to find such fishing gear at online kayak and fishing retailers.

"Fishing gear is essential, especially because you are fishing from a small boat."

Worthy of a Pulitzer, very insightful.  Next time I go fishing for minnows I will definitely make sure I have fishing gear.


How do you go about getting paid for crap like this? I have an instructional on walking and chewing gum at the same time that may save lives and earn me a couple bucks in the process. 

I was wondering the same thing.  My plan is to get the article requests from various spam websites like the ones this author writes for and then find a 7th grade class somewhere that will write these for me.  I'd do it myself, but this way I can probably produce more articles... mo'money, mo'money!

It's good to have a good chuckle in the middle of the day!

I will be knocking them minnows dead soon as I get that fishing gear!........doh!
