Your thoughts on Kayak Fishing: For me, kayak fishing is the perfect way to fish. Fishing from a kayak allows the angler to silently stalk fish where boats cannot go. Kayaks are an inexpensive way for anglers to enjoy the outdoors.

Your favorite Kayak Fishing moment: Watching my son catch his first fish out of a kayak all on his own.

Favorite fish species, and why: Snook are my favorite species to target. They are beautiful, aggressive, and strong. They offer a great fight with big head shakes, runs and acrobatics.

Bait, hardware or flies: I prefer to use artificial baits and flies.

Country or Rock-n-Roll: Rock- N- Roll!! Country music makes me depressed.
