With some things I’m always hunting. I’ve had 38 vehicles if that tells you anything about how my brain works. Since I started fishing, and then kayak fishing, I’m on my 6th boat! I have learned a ton about kayaks, paddling, rigging, and fishing from them. It’s been great to learn and this Crescent Lite…

MoYak Lake of the Ozarks Recap
I had been scouting out launch areas for months. I kept coming back to a place I found on Google Earth. I spent the day before hanging out with Sawyer driving to a few other places. That evening, Sawyer, Mom, Grandma, and I went to checkout the spot I’d found. When I was describing where…
Sawyer Took a Dip
Sawyer loves getting in the water and has really wanted to kayak lately. This was our second outing in kayaks together. I’m impressed at how well he paddles and balances! There’s been very little instruction other than containing him in an area where he can explore skills on his own. As you see in the…
Where I Started
My father-in-law took my kids and I to a youth pond to fish. I helped them out with baiting their hooks, but I didn’t know how to do anything else. This was 2016. Fishing was all around me, and I realized that I had never caught a fish. That’s not exactly correct, I did catch…
Caught a Limit In April!
My first tournament goal has been achieved! I’ve submitted 5 fish to the Mo-Yak April Online Challenge! All in I have submitted 7 fish. There were 4 I didn’t submit because they were small. One darted around a stump and broke my line. And another (18″ of course) that I lost. I wasn’t prepared and…

The links will take you to the leaderboard if you’re interested in following along. Entry is paid. Hotel is booked. I’ve been scouting launch areas and mentally planning my day. I’m…
Fishing Report – Lake Remembrance
This evening was the best evening for me to get out on the kayak and get some bass on the bump board! This started miserably. It was raining steadily, windy. I left my fish finder in the truck and just paddled along the bank to the north, then along the dam. Nothing. I was throwing…
Fishing Report – Lake Jacomo
This trip was on April 3rd, 2021. I’m signed up the for April Online Tournament through the Mo-Yak Fishing Series. I’m taking every chance I can get the the kayak on the water and get some bass on the board. I set out late in the afternoon, around 6 p.m. and went to a cove…
Fishing Report – Watkins Mill Lake
The participants in the Mo-Yak Tournament Fishing Series seem to be mostly south of KC. On the tournament’s Discord server, Austin asked if anyone else was from KC and I responded. We chatted a little and met up at Watkins Mill Lake on Saturday, March 20th. I downloaded a map from Genesis Maps and sent…
First Mystery Tackle Box
Yesterday I got a great surprise with the Mondo Kit. Then, today, my first Mystery Tackle Box showed up! This video is a quick walkthrough of what was included in the Bass Pro kit. There are a couple of welcome surprises in here. Definitely lures that I wouldn’t have tried normally.
