BattlBox Mission 11 Breakdown

BattlBox Mission 11 was much smaller than our last box Mission 10, so I have to admit that when our outdoor survival box first arrived I was a little underwhelmed. You remember when we were kids - the big boxes at Christmas were always the good ones right? Read More

I will launch an ongoing series on swimbait fishing from a kayak fisherman’s point of view. Although a “Kayak Swimbait 101” crash course is on the way, I find that mistakes teach more than lectures. These Top 10 mistakes are all hard-learned, hard-earned topics I hear echoed by other experienced swimbait fishermen. Read More
