I’ve talked about kayaking here in the past and I’ve had my eyes on a fishing kayak for a long time. My oldest son has also expressed interest in kayaking, but not so much in fishing from a kayak. He’s not opposed to the idea, but he prefers to fish from the bank for now. …

Searching for a Kayak
I have to think that most anglers who stand at the threshold of leaving the bank forever behind feel a sense of awe and wonder at their first watercraft. Whether it’s a new or used flat bottom Jon boat, a v-hull, full on bass boat rig, or just a kayak or canoe, the realization that you won’t …

Storm Alert Whistle
I believe in being as prepared as possible while not going overboard with buying gear. At least that’s what I tell myself and having a whistle makes a lot of sense to me. This is one of those small items that I just want to have and I hope that I never need it. However, …
