Why does the old fat guy have to take pics?
Bienville….day ahhhhh one….day ahhhhh two, ahh three….. How many days does it take to get to what kayak fishing is really about to me? ….three….. Some of you may not understand the reference to an old commercial, ‘cause you ain’t that old, but it was about the chocolate center of…

…..no……
The child in me wants to say “NO….LEAVE ME ALONE!” so I don’t have to talk about the first tourney of 2019. The KBF Tenvitational sponsored by Dee Zee. And technically, I don’t have to share at all….I do control the typing after all…but, I am not six…and I can’t…

494 more times….
Bienville….day one. The four inch Senko was doing some serious damage, they were pounding it! And, had we been in a crappie tournament, the crowd would have been calling my name…but it wasn’t, so not my best day! Well, I have learned this is how some days will go when…

2019….let’s do this…
The Nissan has just shy of 120,00 miles; almost 30,000 of those miles came from last year. It definitely does not have that new truck smell – more like fish slime and dirty clothes mixed together. The R-Pod, our camper, has new tires and a new fender; the old fender…

Dream Tunnels….and Larry.
Over the last couple of years, I have traveled thousands of miles fishing kayak tournaments. Along the way there have been opportunities to make new friends, learn new techniques, fish new waters…so many adventures and memories have been made! But as I reflect on this time, the trips where I…

is the paddle holder half empty or not?
I am most likely in the minority, but I carry a full Bending Branches paddle on my Hobie for any tournament or outing. Over the last two years I traveled to many different waters and quickly learned that I never know what I will encounter, or when I will need…

Till later my friend.
Usually after a tourney, I like to share what worked (what didn’t). But not this weekend. I lost a member of my kayak family on that water. I woke up around 2 a.m. on Thursday morning. Half awake, I opened Facebook to find a post from a fellow CAKFG fishing…

Sore…from being a mud digger…..
For the second time in my kayak tournament career, my body aches. It is not due to the high winds like I fought at the Stick Marsh in Florida (the first sore day), but because of the strong current of the New River around Galax in Virginia. To be honest,…

Mars….not for fishing…
I should have never ventured to Erie. Foreign and far from what I know, but worse, my head was states away. Now before I go any farther, some of what I write will sound like excuses…some like whining…some just plain crazy. None of those are my intent. Today, it is…

Not yet named PA14 vs BoHobien Rhapsody (PA12)
The question keeps coming up since I moved to the Hobie PA14 – is it better than the PA12? Comparing an awesome kayak to its big brother doesn’t seem fair, there is no loser with either of the kayaks. But for those who have asked, I am going to give…
