On a larger body of water how far will you travel (distance) on a typical day fishing? Please note if you are paddling or pedaling.

It's not uncommon for me to do 3 to 4 miles fishing all day on a big lake. Seems like it's usually a mile just to get to my first fishing spot from the launch. Then you have to come back. I paddle a Cuda 12.

3 to 4 miles seemed to be be my average as well when I used my old Pescador 12.

I seem to average about 5-7 miles a trip when I go to a lake. That's mainly because I like adventuring though.

I have a lot of 6 and 7 mile days in the marsh. Now that I have a Soloskiff I can access spots much greater distances from the launch. I'm not sure how much farther I will range, but I do know that I won't worry about the wind being too tough to paddle back against in the afternoon now. I think I'm really gonna like this boat.

I also use Google maps to see approximately how far I went. Just find your start point, right click, then click measure distance. At that point begin left clinking your trip route and it will add it all together.

3-5 paddle unless I am on a river. Average on a river is 7-10 if I am fishing.

Paddle River trips about 8-10 miles/day depending on the flow. Lake/Bay trips about 4-6 miles (2-3 one way) Offshore sometimes 10+, depends on the destination and activity

I do not know how big Benbrook is but I did peddle all around it in one day. Roughly 8 1/2 miles if you did this route. Very easy to do in a pedal kayak.
