First Impressions From W500 Fishing Kayak – Paul Harrison, Mississippi

Posted on March 24, 2011 by W kayak

I’m very satisfied so far.

First trip straight to the Gulf of Mexico beach near Biloxi, MS. Practiced in a protected cove for 30 minutes or so, no problems with launching, beaching, and seated paddling (of course I’ve read all the advice and observations of others). Very stable and secure and comfortable. Will need to practice tight radius turning. Then out past the rock jetty into 1 to 2 ft choppy waves. No problems there either, straight on or side on to the waves … with the wind and waves, or against, no big problems. On way back into the cove did a little standup paddling. Was successful but practice will be needed here too for secure fishing and paddling. Continue reading →

Fully Rigged Fishing Kayak – Ray Schwertner, Texas

Posted on March 24, 2011 by W kayak

First fish, a nice crappie. 3/12/11. My water craft was ogled with much envy at Purtis Creek State Park. One guy from Austin has been looking at WaveWalks for a while. He fishes from a kayak and was getting a little wave splash in the windy conditions. I think you will have a sale soon.
I am sold out on this W . Cannot wait to go out this weekend. Continue reading →

Airjet Motor on W500 Stand Up Fishing Kayak – Movie

Posted on March 20, 2011 by W kayak

This W500 setup presents many advantages, including the lack of rudder and immersed propeller, making it ideal for shallow water, as well as water where seaweed is abundant.
It also makes beaching and launching easy. You can keep paddling while the motor is running, whether you’re looking for more speed, or for better steering. Needless to say, that you can troll and fish with both hands while the motor is running. Continue reading →

2 W Kayak Anglers Vs. 1 Big Snook – A New Florida Kayak Fishing Trip Report From Gary Rankel

Posted on March 16, 2011 by W kayak

After 5 hours of fishing, we each had caught only one fish which normally makes for a bad day. But the big snook we got made it a super great day. Thanks to Bob, I finally got a picture of me holding a nice fish. Bob also kept me out of the marsh grass I was drifting toward while fighting the snook by pushing my W away from it with his W. What great fighters snook are – thanks much to them. Continue reading →
