A Beautiful Day To Paddle And Fish In Ozello, Florida. By Gary Rankel
Bob Smaldone is back so we hit the water in Ozello, Florida to be treated to a beautiful sunrise (notice the great blue heron having breakfast as the sun rises). I managed 2 trout on an otherwise slow, hot day. … Continue reading

Kayak Fishing Maiden Voyage In Fast Tidal Currents, By Terry Ehrlich, South Carolina
I am 67 years old, and I have never owned a kayak before the W500.
Before receiving the kayak, I was advised to take it in shallow, flat water for my maiden voyage, and get some practice. That is GOOD advice! However, I was unable to get to shallow flat water, and my maiden launch took place on St. Helena Sound off Edisto Beach, South Carolina. Continue reading

Cartop Fishing Kayak – Attaching Your W500 On Top Of Your Car Rack
“You don’t need a truck!” Gary says.
Well, he’s right, and furthermore, you don’t even need a special kayak rack, because it’s so easy to attach the W500 to any rack, from any maker.
And if you want to attach a pair of W kayaks to your car rack – no problem: You just lay them side by side, with the bottoms of their hulls facing each other, and use the same straps, bungees or ropes to attach them, and shown here, in a picture taken by Eric, our distributor in Norway: In comparison, some of the bigger fishing kayak models out there are so big and heavy (a.k.a. barges) that they require transporting with a trailer, since it’s almost impossible to car top them.
Other sit-in and SOT fishing kayaks don’t fit directly to your car rack, so to need to waste money on a special kayak rack that makes your car rack unusable for other purposes…

Motor Mount For Kayak Electric Trolling Motor, By Gary Thorberg, Minnesota
Here is how Gary mounted an electric trolling motor on his W500 fishing kayak: Clamp-on motor mount – Quick and easy. Gary chose to make this motor mount from Oak wood.Electric trolling motor mounted on the W500 kayak. The motor is mounted on one side of the kayak, and the battery is placed at the bottom of the opposite hull. This balances the kayak without reducing its stability. Electric trolling motor setup – General view: With this propeller shaft length, Gary can troll both seated and standing up. Since the W500 kayak is totally symmetrical frond and end, Gary can troll with the motor either in the front, or in the back. Continue reading

The Thorbergs In A Tandem Kayaking Trip In Lake Superior, Minnesota
Gary Thorberg and his wife went on a beautiful tandem kayaking trip in lake Superior.
Gary tells that launching their W500 was easy, and so were paddling and beaching in those little beaches.
This wasn’t a typical kayak fishing trip, but rather a long kayak trip in tandem, in which the W500 performed as a tandem touring kayak, or as an expedition kayak, due to its extended carrying capacity.
The W500 fit easily on Gary’s pickup truck bed. Continue reading
