Lowrance has introduced to the kayak fishing community what should be considered the ultimate transducer mounting system for sit-on-top fishing kayaks.

This guarantees maximum sonar signal return sensitivity, producing the absolute clearest underwater returns of structure and fish possible.

The Halfway Point, Ozello Classic

There were some big questions answered at the Peck’s Third Annual Ozello Classic on May 5, 2012. Who would win this all-important Classic at the halfway mark in the series year?

Float Plans and Fishing Logs

Last July I launched solo into Manchester Harbor. A few hours after this picture was taken, several thunderstorms came through and trapped me on the water. Things could have easily turned out badly.

When I woke up Sunday morning, it was 9°F. I wasn’t going to go fishing, so I decided to watch some of the Sunday morning fishing shows while planning out the day. On one of the shows the host mentioned something about keeping a log book, which reminded me about my New Year’s Resolution.

If you ask ten bass fishermen their thoughts, the answers will vary from “never” to “situation” to “always”, and the discussions on the subject sound like presidential debates. Let us delve into the “situation”. Why? Because this is the one I adhere to, and I am going to go over the thought process, baits, and what to look for.
