Review: Simms Flats Boots

The topic of flats wear had come up on another kayaking fishing forum, and as I was in desperate need of a new pair of wading boots, I did some searching on line and came across the SIMMS Flats Boot. These looked like they would fit the bill just perfect. After too many heart stopping encounters with stingrays here in Tampa Bay, I called up Mark, aka “Yaksushi” to see if he had any contacts at SIMMS.

Review: Womens Kokatat Neozip and Innercore

I hate the cold! I have lived most of my life in places that snow is something to expect. This doesn’t mean I have adapted or even like it. That said, I am not the most eager to fish when the love of my life has an interest in fishing in anything below 70° F. This weekend I had the opportunity to try out some gear from Kokatat. I went to a lake and it was 52°F and breezy. I wouldn’t call it the most inviting weather forecast. Never the less, I didn’t have any valid reason to say no.

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.

Many Fishing Masks

One issue that I am very passionate about is sun protection, and I’m sure that you’ve educated yourself about the importance of protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. All kinds of health issues can arise related to sun exposure, not to mention the agony of sunburn. To me, sun protection is every bit as important as wearing your PFD and the lures and tackle that you’ll be using. Even though I live in one of the most hot, humid climates known to man, face protection is an important part of my sun protection arsenal.

Review: Columbia Utilizer Gloves

Have you ever talked to one of the old timers at the bait shop and stopped to look down at their hands? The majority of them look like they are wearing old leather gardening gloves! While kayak fishing we always focus on wearing sunscreen; keeping ourselves protected with long sleeves and a wide brimmed hat, but what about our hands?
