The New and The Old
This spring, I decided I would finally head over to the Eastern Shore in search of my first bull red. Unfortunately, my schedule and the weather did not cooperate. I was left reading reports from local legends and wondering if I’d be able to pull off my first trip, let alone hook and land a decent red. Read More -
The Cooper River Coal Dock
This morning, my fishing buddy Lewis and I set out on a journey to the Cooper River Coal Docks (by way of Drum Island) in search of redfish and speckled trout for the upcoming Inshore Fishing Association (IFA) Kayak Fishing Tournament in Charleston. Read More -
First Bass On My Hand Tied Flies
I recently dusted off my fly rod after a ten-year hiatus. I spent a majority of my formative years chasing largemouth bass and panfish using fly rods and topwater popping bugs. Along with my resurging interest in fly fishing, I began tying my own flies. I am ever searching for challenges and techniques to obsessively plunge myself into. Tying, and throwing, large, baitfish imitation streamers is very much like fishing the large swimbait imitations I use on conventional tackle. Read More -
2013 SC Kayak Tournament Trail Results
Muddy waters, a big cold front, and the potential for some big fish - what else could you ask for? The location for the fourth stop of the 2013 SC Trail was Saluda Lake, a smaller lake than those we had fished thus far, but one known for better than average fish. Read More -
A Day at the Beach
It seems like forever since I joined my friends for some beach tarpon. Last summer I was so sick that I had to back out at the last minute, and then I made the decision that it wouldn’t be a good idea for me to venture out in my condition. But since then, I’ve felt much stronger and after a long day on the water Saturday (I paddled roughly seven miles) I made the call to join the boys on the beach. Read More -
Keeping an open mind
Many of my close friends and fishing buddies know me for my many “life lesson” slogans that I’ve picked up from some of the most inspirational people throughout my life. As I sit in front of my keyboard and reflect on the past weekend of fishing, one slogan comes to me: "Keep an open mind." Read More -
Bluegrass Yakmasters’ Green River Lake Tournament 5-18
The second qualifying event on the Bluegrass Yakmasters tournament trail was in Campbellsville, KY. The beautiful Green River Lake has every fishing opportunity an angler could want. It is known as a quality fishery for crappie, muskie, and hybrid- striped bass, among others, and it has been producing some very quality bass recently. The lake holds healthy populations of largemouth, smallmouth and Kentucky spotted bass. Read More -
Intro to Kayak Flyfishing
If you've been fishing from a kayak for any period of time, you're familiar with the "You're crazy!" refrain from the public at large when you explain how you spend every free moment on the water. Kayak fly anglers likewise often get this response from other yak fishers when we reveal the long rod as our primary gear of choice. Read More

"I first met James Derbecker of Crescent Kayaks at the Louisville Boat and RV show in Louisville, KY. He had a nice display set up, and me being a bit of a gear head for all things kayak fishing related, I had to stop in and check things out. We had a decent discussion about his boats and company, and then I returned to my own booth. I couldn't help but notice over the next few days..."

"Many kayakers - especially kayak anglers in warm climates who frequently fish shallow water - seem to hate wearing PFDs. “They’re hot...” “They’re bulky...” “They don’t fit well...” When looking at solutions for “traditional” PFDs, I was directed to Astral Designs. Their lightweight “Ronny” (and companion “Linda” model, cut especially for lady kayakers) addresses all these concerns, and more. For many, “PFD” conjures visions of bright orange blocks of foam, held together with white straps. The Ronny is a..."

"In February 2012 I was contacted by Corey of Kajun Custom Kayaks (KC Kayaks) to see if I would be interested in trading a K12 for a few months of advertising space. I knew that they were fairly new to the industry, so I didn’t mind helping share their new product. I always love trying out new boats! After talking to Corey, I decided to do a bit of research on the K12. I learned that it is..."

"How I was able to fish out of a Hobie Outback is a great story and can be checked out here. [http://www.yakangler.com/spotlight/item/409-tackle-shack-water-sports] First off a disclaimer… I originally demoed this kayak about a year ago on the Elkhorn creek. I had read all the hype about it and couldn't wait to get it onto the water. Sadly I was unimpressed; the Elkhorn's shallow water didn't allow me to use the Outback and the Mirage Drive to..."

"The Trident 13 was the second kayak that I had purchased and my first Sit-on-Top (SOT). To be quite honest when I first started fishing from a kayak and really looking into the boats that were out there I just kept getting pulled back to Ocean Kayak. As I would search the other forums, prior to starting YakAngler.com, I was amazed with all the guys that were so creative when rigging their Ocean Kayaks. Jim Sammons and..."

"This fishing kayak review is a long time coming. When originally purchasing this kayak I had 2 requirements. The kayak must hold a decent amount weight and be easy to transport on top of my vehicle. After weighing various options, makes and models I decided on the Ocean Kayak Prowler Trident 11. Taking a close look at the Ocean Kayak Prowler Trident 11, you can see the thought that Johnson Outdoors put into this line of kayak. Starting..."
