I didn’t look at the weather as I headed to the lake, but I did pay attention to the time. I knew I would be out after dark and prepared (or so I thought) by making sure that I had my light pole with me. I launched the kayak, started paddling and realized that the…
DaBomb + Anchor Wizard + LiteTackle
For long days on the water, I really like having an anchor on my kayak. The obvious use is to hold in a spot to get casts into the right area. I find it just as useful when doing other things in the boat: handling a fish, tying on a new lure, reaching into the…
MoYak September 2021 Online – Week 1
It’s a week into the September Online 2021 (tourneyx.com) tournament. I’ve been getting out on the water as often as I can! To the point that I am even keeping my kayak on the cart ready to go! If I have a couple free hours, I’m going for some bass! I’m currently sitting in 4th…
FTM-300D MARS Mod
I took my Yaesu FTM-300D on a bit of a ride today! I had been intending to do the MARS mod on it for a while and after reading some instructions and watching a video, I finally cracked it open. I backed up my setting to an SD card and went to work. To be…
Back on the Kayak for September
I’m getting back out on the kayak to fish for September in the MoYak September Online 2021 (tourneyx.com). August has been packed with work, back to school, kids activities, and just enjoying being out on the water in the pontoon. I’ve been fishing from the boat or pontoon for the last few weeks and I…
Fishing with Dylan
Looking for bass in some hot water! Water temps were around 84 degrees. We didn’t see any fish on the humps we graphed so we went back to beating the bank. Dylan did catch one but I didn’t have the GoPro running 🙁 Gear Used: Lew’s Mach 1 Spinning Combo – https://amzn.to/3k7vYJB Kistler Magnesium Rod…
Broken Arm Bank Fishing
Sawyer broke his arm last Friday! That kept us out of boats of any type as he cannot resist the water when we’re in a boat. We went old school and took to a trail and fished from the bank! Sawyer is now in just a brace for the next 6 weeks. Neither fracture were…
Kayak Tournament Fishing Update
The MoYak 2021 July Online Challenge (tourneyx.com) is done and I did not end up where I wanted. My goal was top 50%, and I was definitely short of that (by quite a bit). I know why. I know what I could do better. I just need to make it happen. Due to timing, I’m…
Caught Some Fish, Fought a Tree
Trying to get some big ones on the board! I’m really lagging on the MoYak July Online Challenge and went out hoping to get some 20 inchers. Spoiler … I didn’t get any huge ones, but I did move from 28th to 24th place. Bonus for you: lots of hilarious fails! I catch a log!…
New Fishing YouTube Channel
I’ve been really focused on fishing, and specifically kayak fishing, for the last two years. I’ve been recording more videos based around this so I created JPenney Fishing on YouTube. This channel will only have fishing and fishing related content: gear, trips, boats, kayaks, fishing reports, tournament recaps, etc. Any personal/family videos will go back…
