Standing in a fishing canoe is one of the things that help settle the longstanding dispute between rod holders when it comes to the benefits of kayaks and canoes. Beginners but also veterans seem to prefer the second type of boat because it’s more maneuverable and comfortable.
While a kayak forces you to usually sit with your legs bent or straight-out flat, a canoe provides more space and lets you sit higher above the water, also changing the casting technique. If the need arises, you can also stand and still feel a sense of security due to the balance it offers.
To move a kayak, you generally have to put down your fishing pole and pick up the paddle while a fishing canoe has the added advantage of being able to equip an electric trolling motor that’s sure to make those long and hot fishing trips easier.
