Quick Tips to Help Flying with a Freestyle Kayak: Part 1
View all of posts
I grew up in upstate NY between Cayuga and Oneida. On my first Huffy within an east bike ride of the house I could fish for everything from crappies, reservoir green bass, big stream trout, river walleye to musky at an early age. However it was the moving water of a feeder to the upper Susquehanna that ran through the property of my childhood home that held my interest the most.
I have been blessed to have fished all over upstate NY, the Quetico, Beauchene and having been in the Marine Corps fished all over the USA. If something could be floated, rowed or paddled on anything from a creek to a big river chances are I have some time in its seat long before the first fishing kayaks existed. My first fishing kayak was the Jackson Coosa as soon as it was unveiled and have been in Jackson kayaks ever since.
I have been addicted to moving water for over forty years now and my pursuit of river smallmouth on remote out of the way rivers has never waned. Along the journey I have contributed numerous articles to the In Fisherman Midwest Finesse site regarding river smallmouth with my friend Ned Kehde back to 2015, helped design a few lures for a few major manufacturers along the way and had the pleasure of appearing on The Smallmouth Crush a couple of times. I am currently working on a line of kayak specific rods for a well known company.
For seventeen years I have resided on the banks of a remote smallmouth river in West Virginia and routinely fish with my favorite fishing partner my wife. I average over 100 days a year on moving water and most years visit smallmouth rivers in five states. I have spearheaded taking a logging company to court for violations committed on our states rivers, organize river cleanup efforts twice a year and have recently applied for my WV guides license. By day I am a WV prison warden.
