Once fishing poles replaced harpoons, seafaring vessels became smaller, as it was no longer necessary for fisherman to make a running leap at their quarry or worry about accidentally tripping and falling onto a harpoon. Enjoy a leap-free excursion with today’s Groupon: for $35, you get a full-day kayak fishing trip at Kayakjak’s Outfitters in Benkelman (a $75 value).

Marty “Kayakjak” Hughes employs 13 years of experience in snagging water-dwelling creatures by training the uninitiated in the art of casting and catching from the confines of kayak. The Swanson, Enders, Red Willow package presents a full-day guided excursion atop the crystalline waters of the Swanson, Enders, or Red Willow lakes. From their floating fortress, fishers will dip baited hooks in the hopes of catching wipers, walleye, bass, catfish, other similar-minded hooks, and drum. The skyscraper-less Nebraska horizon provides a serene backdrop for a rejuvenating afternoon upon the water, perfect as a Father's Day gift or for anglers of any skill level looking to find the fish they set free so many years ago.
