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…
LiteTackle Changed How I Fish
When I decided on the Crescent LiteTackle, I was so sure of what I wanted, that I bought modifications before I even had the kayak. Now, I’m rethinking some of those. In the 3 Water Big Fish 120 the seat was always in the high position. I used an anchor in conjunction with and Anchor…
Family Boating and Grandma Catches a Fish
Growing up, we went to the Lake of the Ozarks nearly every weekend during the summer. Grandma and Grandpa always had a boat and we would spend all day out on the water. We were either bar-hopping or just enjoying cruising around. That hasn’t been a regular thing for our family in a long time….
Ride Through Ward Park
Sawyer and I took a quick ride through Ward Park. This gave me an opportunity to test out my new Go Pro.
