Peacocks Close to Home
For the last few years I have been driving across the State of Florida to enjoy the peacock bass fishery there. It seemed like a good trade off, a two hour drive to Miami for a chance at these exotics. But recently I was tipped off to a location for peacocks that was closer to me, much closer. Read More -
River Fishing Kayak Basics
For most of the general population, talk of a river boat conjures up images of a coal-fired paddle wheeler lumbering along the Mississippi River. For the anglers who chase fish in the swirling water of their local flow, a river boat is a totally different critter. Read More -

2013 SC Kayak Tournament Trail Lake Hartwell - April 27, 2013
Did somebody say something about a cold front? After three days of warm, sunny weather, the report for Saturday’s tournament was cool with an 80% chance of rain. Needless to say, I was really concerned with turnout, and that the fish would pull back and all the pre-fishing I had done had been in vain. Read More -
How to kayaking dry gear care
Taking care of dry gear, be it waders, dry tops, dry suits, or even breathable rain gear, is often overlooked. They are usually tossed into the back of the truck, or in a tote, and if they’re lucky, you’ll remember to pull them out, rinse them off, and hang them up to dry. While rinsing your gear is the first step to keeping it in good shape, there are additional steps to breathe life back into these breathable waterproof fabrics. Read More -
Fishing, A Day With The Guys
In the mad rush, a few very important items had been forgotten, as usual. My Heroes on the Water hat and Strike King sunglasses were on the kitchen table as I stepped out into the chilled night air. Not even four hours ago the girlfriend had left the house, giving me permission for the adventure I was about to embark on: to drive all the way to Pointe a la Hatche, LA and fish the marsh. My good friends Casey Brunning and Jason Austin were fishing the BCKFC’s Redfish Rumble tournament, while I was there to learn, watch, and fish for fun. Read More -
5 Tips For The New Kayak Fisherman
We all have done it: started a project or hobby, only to realize that we forgot to look into or learn about one or more aspects about it. This still applies for our wonderful addiction of kayak fishing. When I first got the idea of fishing from a kayak, I immediately started to look at boats and read online reviews . I learned about the differences between kayaks, and what those differences mean to efficiency and comfort. Read More -
Just Fish
Well before even a hint of sunrise, I met up with Bill Howard and Greg Becker to get another lesson in my flats fishing class. We readied our gear, and Greg handed me a VHF radio to communicate with the group. I put it in the bag on the back of my seat and we launched into the bay. As we paddled out, I had one goal in mind: to find my first ever snook. Read More

"In February 2012 I was contacted by Corey of Kajun Custom Kayaks (KC Kayaks) to see if I would be interested in trading a K12 for a few months of advertising space. I knew that they were fairly new to the industry, so I didn’t mind helping share their new product. I always love trying out new boats! After talking to Corey, I decided to do a bit of research on the K12. I learned that it is..."

"How I was able to fish out of a Hobie Outback is a great story and can be checked out here. [http://www.yakangler.com/spotlight/item/409-tackle-shack-water-sports] First off a disclaimer… I originally demoed this kayak about a year ago on the Elkhorn creek. I had read all the hype about it and couldn't wait to get it onto the water. Sadly I was unimpressed; the Elkhorn's shallow water didn't allow me to use the Outback and the Mirage Drive to..."

"The Trident 13 was the second kayak that I had purchased and my first Sit-on-Top (SOT). To be quite honest when I first started fishing from a kayak and really looking into the boats that were out there I just kept getting pulled back to Ocean Kayak. As I would search the other forums, prior to starting YakAngler.com, I was amazed with all the guys that were so creative when rigging their Ocean Kayaks. Jim Sammons and..."

"This fishing kayak review is a long time coming. When originally purchasing this kayak I had 2 requirements. The kayak must hold a decent amount weight and be easy to transport on top of my vehicle. After weighing various options, makes and models I decided on the Ocean Kayak Prowler Trident 11. Taking a close look at the Ocean Kayak Prowler Trident 11, you can see the thought that Johnson Outdoors put into this line of kayak. Starting..."

"Mark “YakSushi” and myself traveled down to Florida last week to do some fishing with some of our friends from YakAngler.com. David Simms from Actionwatersports.net was gracious enough to lend us two of his Emotion Grand Slams, which worked out since two of the guys that we were fishing with are on their pro team. This is my personal review of these kayaks… I did not have the Angler version but instead had the standard touring..."
