Fishing SUP Recommendations
Jim Gerst:
I would greatly appreciate any and all recommendations for plans for a diy build in wood strip or otherwise for a board to by used primarily for flats fishing but could also work in calm ocean water as well. I am new to this but have much experience with wood. Please in lighten me.
Thanks

Check out the Kaholo SUP board kit from Chesapeake Light Craft. The kit and plans look pretty good.

Can't tell you who has plans for the best. After fishing quite a bit on mine and others, I can tell you what I like. You say for flats fishing wish I do a lot of. I also sight cast and stalk fish where small sounds spook fish easily.
I have a Cayo that I fish off of. I think there are some photos of it in the fishing section. i have a first generation board and they now have a second generation board. Both grreat designs for flats fishing. I have seen the Dragonfly board and these also look real good for flats fishing. Both of these boards have very a pronounced V in the nose that are dead quiet in small chop where sound is a factor. Flatter longboard nose type board will chatter in any kind of chop that will spook fish way before you are in casting range.
Width on these boards is around 34 inches and that seems like a good width for the stability. The boards still have adequate speed. I have paddled mine for miles at a time. Keep the tail wide and don't pull it in. It does not need it. Keep it wide for stability.
ANy other questions, let me know and I will see if I can help.

Is it really the board or the fisherman?

Well whatever you go with, hopefully it turns out a bit better than this one I saw!
