Why do you like fishing?
The thrill of a bite?
The fight with the fish?
The desire to eat what you've caught?
The game-like aspects?

People have various reasons for addict fishing, but one major element might be the sense of adventure in finding place and catching fish.
Relying on maps and limited information to discover your own special spot, your sanctuary—this adventurous feeling is also part of the joy of fishing, isn't it?

This spirit of exploration is often encapsulated in what’s called a "DIY fishing trip." However, embarking on a DIY fishing adventure can often feel more challenging than one might expect.
The first thing to consider when planning a DIY trip is safety. While it’s relatively easy to find general safety information about urban areas worldwide, obtaining safety details about specific fishing spots is incredibly difficult. This is especially true in developing countries, where securing transportation and ensuring safety can be a significant challenge.
In contrast, in developed countries where safety and transportation networks are well-established, different issues arise, such as licensing and regulations. While straightforward rules are manageable, complications like special licenses, unclear restrictions on areas or seasons, and other nuances of well-regulated systems can pose unexpected difficulties.

Overcoming these barriers to land a fish brings undeniable joy, but in today’s busy world, finding the time and opportunity for such adventures can be tough.
I have personally loved DIY fishing trips since I was young, traveling with a fly rod in hand to places like the U.S., the Caribbean, Central and South America, Oceania, and Europe.

One thing I’ve always wanted during these trips is access to a small boat or kayak. Many times, I’ve found myself thinking that just a bit more mobility would open up entirely new fishing possibilities.
Surprisingly, rental services for small fishing boats or kayaks are rare.

Helsinki is no exception. For example, it’s quite challenging to find good fishing spots for pike from the shore alone. Even renting a boat is often inconvenient due to membership systems or minimum rental periods, making it feel far from user-friendly.
On top of that, renting a fishing boat to fish in an unfamiliar area is simply too risky. I have past experience working as a fishing guide in Tokyo Bay and handling sailing boats in the Caribbean, and from that experience, I can say that it’s unreasonable for amateurs to use fishing boats in unknown waters without familiarity with local rules, routes, and conditions.

In fact, I’ve often seen cases where people using membership-based rental boats end up driving recklessly, getting into conflicts with others, or fishing in restricted areas, which highlights the risks involved.
On the other hand, fishing with a small boat or kayak carries far fewer risks and potential for trouble, as long as a few simple rules are followed. It’s a surprisingly safer and more enjoyable alternative compared to traditional fishing boats.

Which means almost every body go fishing easy and enjoy.
