Personally, I love it.  Makes a little extra hassle but it can often lead to birds that aren't quite as pressured on public ground.

Water is a great way to separate you from other hunters.

Well yesterday, my dad and I took my boat about 3 miles up a river to a place i've been wanting to deer hunt and hung some cameras. It's Corps of Engineers land that's land locked by private land on both sides, so the only public access is by the river. In that 3 mile stretch of river up and back down, we seen 15-20 deer and two groups of toms. The first group had 5 long beards in it that were just walking down the river bank maybe picking up gravel. They wasn't bothered much by the boat and just slipped off. The second group had 4 long beards in it that were up in a grassy cove, i assume feeding on grasshoppers and what not. Hopefully they make it through till next spring and that'll be at least 9 gobbling birds in that stretch of river. I'll definitely be accessing the land and gobblers by boat and i'm really looking forward to it. It'll be a new something extra to something i already love so dearly.

Some of the best fun you'll ever have! Almost all of our hunting we do (deer/turkey/etc.) here in FL is done by boat. Like most have said, it often gets you away from the crowds as well.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the picture.

Before my last car accident I was seriously considering doing it for deer, never did for turkey though. Let us know how it turns out. There was a good article in one of the trapping magazines about trapping from Kayak's last month or the month before.
