Hey folks, Here's the rundown of my show last night! Thank you all for listening in and if you're sorry you didn't or couldn't, make sure to listen to the podcast.

The LandingCrew called in and talked about bass fishing the past week and the TKAA tournament this weekend.

The Hammerhead called in and talked about striper fishing and catching his personal best 42 inch monster.

I recently upgraded my Personal Flotation Device (PFD). The vest I had wasn’t really made for kayak fishing in a sit-on-top. It was uncomfortable to wear, so I would just toss it in the back of the kayak to meet the legal requirements….not something I should be doing. As a pro staff writer/public figure, every photo of me in the kayak SHOULD show me wearing a PFD, and I apologize for my irresponsibility in regards to that.

I haven’t been writing very much lately because, well there hasn’t been a lot to write about. Last week, the wind from Hurricane Irene made being on the water tumultuous at best and I’ve learned to trust my instincts when it comes to that and stayed off the water 25 knot winds aren’t conditions you should be in while kayak fishing.

I’ve never been good with words or saying I’m sorry. I’m not quite sure how to say this, so I’m just going to say it. Even though it’s hard for both of us, I’m sure that you’ll agree that it’s for the best.

With ICAST coming up next month, I've been checking out the exhibitor list and previous years top products. I came across the Triggerfish by Think Tank Lures and just thought that I would share.

One thing folks ask me quite a bit is “What’s the best kayak I should get?” Since the variables are so complex, there’s no simple, cut and dry answer. It’s almost like asking someone what sort of shoes to buy. I’m sure that any kayak fishing guide or pro angler will tell you to get the kayak that they use because, chances are, they’re on a kayak manufacturers pro staff and that’s what they’re supposed to do.

Two words of advice to live by pertaining to kayak fishing: Never underestimate Mother Nature and listen to your gut instincts, you have them for a reason...

Part of being successful at fishing is making sure that you can tie a reliable and strong line to line connecting knot. Nothing is worse than feeling that “Thunk!” on the end of your line and then, just like that…..he was gone, only to reel in a “little piggy” curly Q which will tell you that your knot came undone.

Something you may not know about me is that I’m a bit of an amateur movie critic. I abhor going to the theater – $12 bucks to get in – $10 bucks for a bottle of water and a popcorn – having kids sit next to you while  texting the entire time, only to be subjected to a horrible film, is very disagreeable to me on so many levels.
