Growing up in Texas, my family would often go on winter camping and trout fishing trips in southeastern Oklahoma on the Mountain Fork River in Beaver’s Bend State Park, or the Blue River in Tishomingo, OK. Both offered rainbow trout stocked from hatcheries...

I received the Ranger 15 just last week, and it was with great anticipation. I was intrigued with the first glimpses of the kayak and wondered how it would handle. Coming in a single seat (15.1) and tandem models (15.2), the Ranger 15 is Malibu’s entry into the hybrid kayak market.

Lowrance has introduced to the kayak fishing community what should be considered the ultimate transducer mounting system for sit-on-top fishing kayaks. With the “Transducer Kayak Scupper Mount” the transducer is totally submerged in the water. This guarantees maximum sonar signal return sensitivity, producing the absolute clearest underwater returns of structure and fish possible.

The Third Annual Lake Cumberland Kayak Fishing Tournament (LCKFT) launched Saturday, May 12, from Lee’s Ford Marina in Nancy, KY.

There were some big questions answered at the Peck’s Third Annual Ozello Classic on May 5, 2012. Who would win this all-important Classic at the halfway mark in the series year? Who would be the series leader after this event? Would the series still be nearly deadlocked at the top?  Could it be any closer? Oh, yeah – and who would catch the biggest fish at Ozello?

Jackson Kayak introduced the “Cuda” late last year as a follow-up to the popular “Coosa”.  The Cuda is a longer boat, ready for bigger water.  When my oldest son told me that he wanted to start kayak fishing – I was happy, because I’d have a new kayak fishing buddy.
