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…

First Impressions on the Crescent Lite Tackle
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…

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…
Weekend Fishing Recap – March 6th, 2021

This year, I’m committed myself to fishing in two tournaments in the Mo-Yak Fishing Series. I preparing for that I’ve upgraded my boat, started learning the electronics, and most importantly,…
