I bought a Saturn fishing kayak to take with us while camping with our fifth wheel. Anyway took it out for the first time fishing yesterday. I would like to paddle rather than put a trolling motor on it. I found it kinda difficult to paddle. It tracks fine just slow. Can't seem to get any power out the paddle. I am fishing the keys inshore and mostly protected waters. My question is will investing in a better paddle, like maybe a Bending Branches fishing paddle,make much difference? The paddles that come with it are maybe six an a half feet long with the blades just flat with no curve to them at all. They are obviously very short. Will one of those longer fishing paddles work better? Right now I am afraid if I get a tidal flow and a light wind I may not be able to paddle against it.
Thanks for the help
