Kayaking in the Shallows

by Rocky Ly | Jan 16, 2019 | Fishing, Internationalisation, United States, Video

  Kayaks really shine in shallow water, because they can get into places power boats can’t. A lot of these fish back in the shallow pockets has no pressure at all and you can sneak right up on top of them with a kayak. I love getting in the shallows when a...

The OG Coosa
