Let’s face it, big fishing kayaks aren’t as easy to throw on your roof as tiny whitewater kayaks. Bigger and heavier, it’s usually a two person operation, or a one man balancing act. So, kayak anglers are looking more and more at kayak trailers, and...

Creating a semi-permanent install for multiple kayaks is a challenge. Since most of us fish on a budget two separate fish finder units is not feasible. For about 1/4 the price of a new Lowrance Elite 5 HDI unit you may purchase a new Transducer, Power cable, and the...

VIDEO:Fishing for zander (walleye) from kayak

by Jan Liska | Jan 27, 2014 | Big Tuna, Fishing, Fishing Reports, Freshwater Fishing, UK

This is what we do here in autumn and winter… We fish for zander, a mysterious predator, very similar to the american walleye. Fishing for zanders is tough, they feed only at certain times and they are very picky. Colour, size and presentation of the bait always...

Post Flood, Pre Spawn River Fishing

by Evan Howard | Mar 24, 2013 | Coosa, Fishing, Fishing Reports, Freshwater Fishing, rivers

The theme for 2013’s river fishing seems to be swollen, silt laden, post flood flows many feet over optimal fishing levels. In my line of work, beggars can’t be choosers and prime fishing time, for me, is determined by off time rather than weather patterns...

Safety is something that can’t be taken for granted while kayak fishing. I have made a habit of practicing self rescue techniques since I bought my first sit on top kayak. You can never be completely sure that something won’t go wrong while on the water, and you...

Structure Is Key

by Brady Sullivan | Mar 6, 2013 | Fishing, United States

Every year at Christmas, hardware store parking lots are being fenced off and Christmas trees are offered for sale. Not all trees are bought before they die so naturally they are culled. This past Christmas, I picked up a dozen dead trees from my local hardware store...
