Took my personal day today and did some fishing this morning. (What else would I do?!) They were predicting thunderstorms for most of the day but we lucked out and just got some rain last night and some beautiful weather today. So out I went for just under 3 hours and caught three different species. A sweet Smallmouth bass that…

Yesterday (Saturday May 11, 2013) was a bright sunshiny day here in the Midwest. I had the bright idea of getting out to enjoy some fishing. I was also interested in using my Hawg Trough for the first time. Wasn't going to have enough time to get out in the Kayak before sundown so I spent the day on shore…

Something I like doing is sitting in my room at the end of a long day, staring at the ceiling tile, Apocalypse Now style, and think hard on the different things that I experience in my life. Living with Aspergers Syndrome, I do this a lot, and sometimes I over think and over analyze things. Some of you may notice…

This Spring has been a quirky one to say the least. Extraordinary weather pattern shifts, blustery cold fronts, and massive amounts of rain pushed the prespawn and spawn way behind schedule. The…

I had spent the night before in the company of my lady, and the talk wasn't on taking the relationship to another level; it was on the coming morning's plans. The marsh was calling my name on the easternly winds that tapped upon the windowpane. I had to pop into work to finish one little job, then it was off…

As I was fishing today I had a flashback to the Kayak Fishing Radio show that I listened to on Wednesday night. The discussion was about fishing beds during spawn. Well I wasn't exactly fishing beds, but I could tell by the activity in the water today that spawning season was happening.

Today a friend of mine called me to see if I was available to help him on Monday. He lives about 70 miles away from me so I was sceptical about it. I asked him what was the thing he needed. He replied he wanted me to help him empty a lake.Now I have never done this before, and unfortunately…

So...you ever get a new kayak, and then just stare at it? Well, that was me this week. I haven't done any rigging on it yet except for adding an anchor trolley to replace the previous one, installed the mesh cargo bags, and got the hatch insert for the Cuda. I've been out in it already a few times, and…

Kayak Fishing With Planar Boards If trolling is a tactic that you use while fishing out of a kayak have a look at Offshore Tackle's OR34 Mini Planar Board. It is reversible, and comes with everything you need to use on the water. It runs directly off of your line and is ideal for light tackle fishing.

Easter morning I packed up the Outback and gear, and drove to Moncks Corner, SC for a little shad fishing on the Tailrace Canal. I made the two-mile trip upstream to the Pinopolis Dam - where the best fishing would be available. The trip upstream was relaxing - I got to see some nice spring foliage on the trees and…
