This past Saturday night was our “Supermoon” for the year. The Supermoon is the time when the Moon’s orbit is closest to the earth. During this time the Moon appears approximately 14% larger, and you will see some of the biggest tides of the year in the days leading up to and following it. Unfortunately, I was not able to get to the coast to fish the tides and experience some of the great fishing I would later hear about...

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

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? Who would be the series leader after this event? Would the series still be nearly deadlocked at the top?  Could it be any closer? Oh, yeah – and who would catch the biggest fish at Ozello?

Jackson Kayak introduced the “Cuda” late last year as a follow-up to the popular “Coosa”.  The Cuda is a longer boat, ready for bigger water.  When my oldest son told me that he wanted to start kayak fishing – I was happy, because I’d have a new kayak fishing buddy.
