All Decked Out

There are some great electronics available for today’s kayaks and the 2014 line of Hobie boats are pre-plumed to install Lowrance systems. I spend the majority of my time fishing in knee deep water, so I really do not have the need to put this great technology to work.

A Too Close Encounter

Our annual Combat in the Wild turkey excursion started off a little differently this spring. Instead of a 17-hour drive to Kansas to look forward to, Howard Pounds and I were getting ready to fly to Omaha, Neb., rent a car and drive north to go after our first Merriam’s wild turkeys.

FRESH WATER FISH FINDER CONSIDERATIONS

When Carl Lowrance introduced the portable little green box depth finder with the rotating dial in 1957, it stunned the fishing world. By standards of today, it was not very good, not very accurate and gave only minimal information on fish and bottom structure.

Spring: It’s not Over Yet – May Fishing Patterns

Typically May is a hot month for inshore fishing; however, at the time of this writing, most fish patterns are running a month behind schedule due to extended cool weather.

BassYak Outfitted Kayaks

Bassyaks outfitted kayaks are some of the most maneuverable vessels on the water. With the propulsion on the transom the Bassyaks Systems motors can turn 90 degree allowing the best turning radius on the market.

The Spawn is On

Temperatures are finally on the rise and spring is firing off at full speed. All of our Texas bays are exploding with life.

Upstate New York Bass on the Fly!

For an angler, being outside and fishing in a short sleeve shirt with no one around should be enough to call any day a success. This day was about to get better. As we cast into a river with increasing water temps and a majority of the steelhead already back in Lake Ontario, our expectations of a tight line were low. Soon enough, as we launched large flies into the water, the addicting tight line grabs began. These fierce strikes were not steelhead, but hungry smallmouth bass. We enjoyed a full day on the river swinging 4-plus-inch flies and catching more than 25 smallmouth bass apiece.
