LCKF Tournament Results 2012

The Third Annual Lake Cumberland Kayak Fishing Tournament (LCKFT) launched Saturday, May 12, from Lee’s Ford Marina in Nancy, KY.

Hobie has unveiled the newest addition to their fleet of angling kayaks. The new Mirage ”Pro Angler 12” may be their most versatile fishing craft yet. No matter what type of water you fish, the Pro Angler 12 is ready to handle it, and boasts more features than you can swing a graphite rod at.

Swimming a Drop Shot Rig

The next time you’re kayak fishing for some deeper bass - maybe hugging some rocks around 15’, or suspended at 20’-25’ - you may want to try a slightly un-orthodox presentation. Have you ever tried swimming a drop-shot rig?

Review: Bogs Women's Classic High Boot

A couple of months ago, the Outdoor Blogger Network had a gear review giveaway opportunity for one pair each of men's and women's Bogs® Boots. I threw my name in the hat and crossed my fingers for a win, since I had been shopping for a good, warm pair of boots to use in my winter kayak fishing trips.

Is it Really January?

January 6th, and it’s my first angling outing of the New Year. I hope it’s an indication of how my fishing is going to go for the rest of this year!

A new disappearing act

After seeing some of the recent conversations related to jigs and jigheads in the Yakangler forums I’ve been paying closer attention to articles related to them. This weekend I came across a new product and although I haven’t tried it, I think it looks pretty promising. In fact, I’m not sure why it hadn’t been thought of before.

Review: 3M Filtrete Water Station

While surfing and getting organized for the upcoming 2012 launch of the Kentucky Kayak Fishing Association, I’ve been reading a lot of environmental information.  It has me thinking about ways to promote sustainability.

Ready or Not, It’s Time for Some Winter Fishing

Now that we are squarely in the shadow of an all-too-rapidly approaching winter, I’ve been re-evaluating my “go-to” baits and reorganizing for colder conditions.  After all, it doesn’t make sense to be clinging to my larger or faster baits when we know the fish are much less active.  That’s not to say I won’t throw a 6” worm if nothing else is working, but as a general rule, my tackle is much smaller for this time of year.

Review: Columbia Freezer Neck Wrap

There's no such thing as being too cautious when you're kayak fishing, spending hours exposed to the sun. I only wish we'd had the knowledge and the products that are now available to outdoor enthusiasts during the first 20 years of my life.
