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…
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…
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…

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…
First Impressions on the Crescent Lite Tackle

I have learned a ton about kayaks, paddling, rigging, and fishing from them. It’s been great to learn and this Crescent Lite…
Fishing Report – From the Boat With Sawyer
Sawyer and I took the bass boat out to Lake Jacomo. We put in at the Marina and headed north from there. We saw a ton of common carp, but nothing else. We then headed east and went back in a bunch of the coves. We were getting bites in 4-5′ of water mostly just…
