These are early details and subject to change. October 1st, 2022, I’ll be hosting a kayak bass fishing tournament on the Jackson County, MO lakes. This includes Blue Springs, Jacomo, Prairie Lee, and Longview lakes. Species will be Black Bass (Largemouth, Spotted, Smallmouth, etc.) For more info on kayak tournament fishing, please read this: How…
Vlog #1 – A New Pond
I finally got lines wet for 2022! (Spoiler alert: no fish). But it was good to knock the cobwebs off. I also ramble on for a while about what’s going through my head going into this year.
This Year (2022)
This year, I’m not doing a “22 in 22” list. I never complete them. It’s demoralizing. I don’t know on January 1st what I’m wanting to focus on in March, let alone December! Instead of a list, I’m picking a word: why. Why am I doing what I’m doing? Why am I making this choice?…
Off Season Maintenance
The forecast has the temps dipping into the single digits this weekend. I wanted to make sure that I had fuel stabilizer run through the motor and the lower unit oil changed before that hit!
One Lure at the Spillway
I always have this little telescoping rod in my truck. I almost always have a small hip pack with a little bit of tackle. Well, I had used the hip pack for something else and the one crappie jig tied on was all I had! I’m glad I stopped! Usually this place is pretty packed….
Fall Slow Down
It’s cold. I don’t have any tournaments scheduled. And I’m totally OK with that for right now! I’ve been switching it up and just fishing for fun. Sometimes I just take an ultralight and go for panfish. I’ve even just tossed a Carolina rig with a hot dog on it to try to catch some…
Pre-Storm Fishing
We’re 2/3 of the way through the month and I’m not where I want to be. Because of that, any free time I get I’m trying to get on the water! Last night, my regular Monday night activities were cancelled due to the weather and I decided to chance it to get a couples hours…
Rough Day on the Water
Some days things just don’t work. In this video, I land one fish, that’s too small. Get tangled in a tree, my bungee, my net … and then I lose a fish (off camera of course) that would have actually made a difference. Enjoy my fails!
Night Fishing From the Kayak
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…
