Spring RVA Stripers
It definitely seems like all the local migrations are happening earlier this year. The warm water temperatures are expediting the process and I, like most kayak fishermen, am not complaining. The magic of this time of year is more than welcome, as many of the popular sport fishing species enter our local waters and get our juices flowing.
Back in the Saddle
Friday night couldn't come soon enough – I was itching from anticipation. At 10:30 p.m., the first stop was HRBT, where I met up with Justin. I paddled out, keeping my eyes peeled for the welcome sight of a striper silhouette. I was paddling over a small one when a voice greeted me out of the darkness: "Dude, there's a big one right in front of you…"
Review: Penn Fierce Spinning Reel
Last winter, I was looking for an inexpensive spinning reel for chasing Stripers on the kayak. By inexpensive, I in no way mean cheap. These reels would be expected to stand up to large fish and salt water fishing from a kayak for at least a few seasons. To fit my requirements, they would need to have a smooth enough drag so the fish can turn and run without pulling hooks, but be stout enough to keep the fish from running back into the rocks.
2011 Hook The Cure Recap
Saturday September 10 the 7th Annual Hook The Cure - Striped Bass Fishing Derby was hosted by the Elks Lodge in Winthrop, MA, after a two week delay caused by Hurricane Irene. Over the last 7 years over $100,000 have been raised for the Michael J Fox Foundation which helps fund Parkinson’s disease research. For the first time this year there was a kayak division that was catch, photo, & release instead of the traditional weigh in. The conditions were great on the water with light winds, calm seas, big tides and lots of fish caught.
Joppa Flats 6-5-11
Sunday morning I decided to fish Joppa Flats for the first time. High tide was around 2AM and since you have to fish this location +/- 3 hours from high tide I decided to launch at 1AM and I would be off the water around 5 when the sun was coming up.
Rob Choi's Week Wrapup
Saturday: After my last kayak fishing trip to the Eastern Shore, I've been itchin' to get back out there in search of the big reds. Knowing that I won't be able to go during Mother's Day weekend, I took Friday off, and headed down Thursday night.
Eelin' for the Bigguns
After 47 days without fishing, I finally finagled my way out to the water. The wind was finally looking right, I still had the ok from the boss to take a day off, and I had a plan to make sure the wife was happy. So, after a full day of work and putting Natalie to sleep, I was good to go. When my mother-in-law found out what I was doing, she had a bewildered look on her face asking "You're doin' what?!?! You know it dropped down to 12 degrees last night..."
