There is always more stuff
.
I have had my 7 inch fish finder with side imaging transducer, 35 ah battery, downrigger, rod holder, 8 plano trays of tackle, 6 fishing rods/reel combos, a net, camping gear and food for multiple days on my kayak. That is part of the reason I don't want a bigger kayak because then I would take even more stuff with me lol.
The main thing I don't like about sups is that most do not have a decent seat(which imo is a must but I like to go fish for 12+ hour days multiple days in a row) and that you use your arms/full body to get around which I imagine gets tiring quick if fighting wind.
Other then that they can work good and there are some that are fairly decked out(like those Bote boards. If you were fishing smaller ponds most of the time and fly fishing they could be quite nice to use. My one kayak is an inflatable and is a mixture between a kayak and stand up paddle board(same shape as a sup but has a seat and pedal drive).
