Thanks for this Jamie. I don't know how often they are for rent, but there are specialty kayaks which you paddle with your feet. I'm assuming that near surf and/or with all the other noises that you could still fly-fish with them if you paddle slowly and quietly.
I pulled a bunch of sea trout out of the circled area a few years ago with some sink tip line and lord knows what flies/lures. I wasn't in a kayak but in a little jon boat with a low hp evinrude. I can single haul well and double haul pathetically (though I can Spey like a beast!), but to tell the truth I wasn't having to cast terribly far with the sink tip. The guy at the shop (which I of course can't remember now it being years back and a lucky unplanned half day on an exhausting work trip) told me the spot. Can't remember the store but I remember that exact spot. The rest of the day I was pulling lots of saltwater catfish out of there, with float or sink along the mangroves. Those little catfish fought pretty hard, and one of them, a feisty runt bound to have lots of kids, poked a big hole in my Merrill hiking boots! I also accidentally caught a beautiful young hammerhead, too, which amazingly didn't break my rod.
