Small changes to your lures can make a big difference. A good set of split ring pliers are an invaluable tool that should be in every angler’s arsenal. A few common modifications include changing out treble hooks, adding a split-ring to the factory line tie and...

Getting back into the action…

by Noah Heck | Jul 21, 2014 | Cuda, Fishing, Fishing Tournament, Freshwater

Competing in your own events feels a little weird. Winning it? Even stranger. I wanted to fish the fourth stop of our 2014 trail for a variety of reasons. First, I traditionally don’t do well at Lake Arthur so I wanted revenge on it. I’ve fished a handful of Wednesday...

When Brooks Beatty, Jameson Redding and I started College Kayak Fishing a couple years ago we thought it would be a great thing to do for the college students and for the sport of kayak fishing as a whole. We weren’t sure if it would “stick” or if...

by Esteban Gutierrez | Jun 30, 2014 | Fishing, Fishing Tournament, Saltwater Fishing, United States

During the past few months I have been focusing mainly in establishing the Southwest Florida Heroes on the Water chapter. It all started back in early 2013 when I had the opportunity to sit down with Heroes on the Water founder, Jim Dolan, and pick his brain. At the...

A true Trout Challenge

In years past the Trout Challenge was a tournament I didn’t attend.  Not because I didn’t want to, but typically by the time it rolled around I was out of contention for the BCKFC tournament series and it didn’t make any sense, being a redfish guy,...

The Knoxville stop of the Riverbassin Trail marked my first Riverbassin tournament of the year. The format for this series is awesome, allowing you to fish any flowing water within a 2 hour drive from the check in location. With the tournament check in being at Uncle...

Fishing, Not Catching in the Kilroy (Video)

by Evan Howard | Jun 20, 2014 | Fishing, Fishing Tournament, Freshwater, JK Team Posts, Kilroy, Video

“That’s why it’s called fishing, not catching” is the oldest cliché in the fishing book. At the River Bassin’ Knoxville tournament my first hookup of the day was with a 20”, 5 pound plus smallmouth which smoked a Bull Shad Swimbaits Balsa Bull topwater bait. When I...

The Jacksonville Kayak Fishing Classic 2014 was another huge success. FINALLY, there was decent weather on tournament day. After the monsoon of 2013, sunny skies and a little wind were welcome. This tournament draws my family from South and Central Florida and...

This marks my third year in attendance to the world’s largest kayak fishing tournament in Jacksonville, Florida. This trip will be challenging as I will be bringing the minimum stuff along as I will have two other yak anglers traveling along. Our plans were to head...

Kilroy Wins a Coosa

by Evan Howard | Jun 5, 2014 | Fishing, Fishing Tournament, Freshwater, Whitewater

The Gadsden regional stop of the River Bassin’ 2014 Tournament Trail set up perfectly in my old stomping grounds. The two-hour boundary gave me numerous options to chase big river spots and largemouth, but I chose a flow I knew consistently held big spots. Although...
