Q: I like the mobility of kayaking, but there’s so much kit. How long does it take to get set up? DANIEL PELL, BY EMAIL

GR says: If you pack light, a spare hour can be spent kayak fishing. Some of the most successful trips happen on a whim where you decide to, say, head out for an hour after work.

You don’t need a lot of gear to chuck a few lures from a kayak, particularly in the warmer months when you have more freedom in choice of clothing too.
