Sneaking In Shallow Water For Bluegills, By John Fabina


My Wavewalk allowed me to get into some Bluegills.
A regular boat would have spooked the fish, that’s if a boat would have been able to get to this spot in the first place.
I was able to sneak up in the shallow, weedy, back water areas to locate the Gills.
I kept a few of the nicer ones for a fresh Gill fry.

A Story Of Two Kayak Fishing Dogs, By Rox Davis


I know I haven’t been in touch, but last month we lost our German Shepherd Ty, of 6 years old, after a twist in her stomach.

I’ve been lost without her, she was my fishing buddy, friend and protector.
So I hadn’t been fishing at all.

Well, 3 weeks we got another puppy, Skye, and though I miss my dog, the pup has helped ease the pain.

So my trips may be fewer this year, but this pup will live the dream.

And the new set of eyes to watch over me and my bags as I fish.

Tight Lines and MoPaddle Safe all.

W Fishing Kayak Rigged For Oceanographic Research


Peter Traykovski is an oceanographer who specializes in Applied Ocean Physics & Engineering. He works at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. WHOI is the world’s largest private, non-profit oceanographic research institution, and a global leader in the study and exploration of the ocean.
Peter is also an avid kayaker and surfer…
Peter needed a small, lightweight, stable, dry and comfortable boat, in which he could spend long hours in the ocean. After testing various options, he chose the W500, which he outfitted with a 2hp 4-cycle Honda outboard, as well as various scientific instruments. Says Peter: –

Working great so far… Have it mostly rigged for science, just a few finishing touches required.
Did a quick survey of Woods Hole Harbor last week with the Honda motor and the Hummingbird sidescan and was pleased with the results. Put some sump pumps in tonight for keeping water out in rougher conditions. Just need to finish integrating the RTK GPS and will be all set. I am shipping it to North Carolina for a project studying a tidal inlet next week so that will its first major test. Will send some more pics when I get a chance.
