Wavewalk Kayaks

This weekend Jeff McGovern wrote from Florida:

-”Aside from the fishing today the W was a great relief. A four hour flight from LA to Atlanta yesterday, then a short hop to Jacksonville was uncomfortable to say the least - That sciatic nerve issue has been pain.
However a few hours in the W today was almost a cure. It must be the upright position combined with the paddling that does it.
According to everything I’ve been reading from trainers and alike exercise is the key. I Don’t know why but I feel so much better after time in the W boat - the W is really something.

Got a few hours on the water today and it was beautiful. The weather was just a bit chilly starting out but warmed to T shirt temps around 9:30AM.
The W performed like a champ. Fishing wise it was a busy time. Nothing huge but loads of blue fish and smaller trout. Ended up for every trout I would get four or five blue fish.
This was one of those days being able to quickly stand helped quite a bit.
At one point I kept hearing splashing and thrashing in the water on the other side of an oyster bar.
I was able to peek over by standing and saw a pod of three dolphin tearing into schools of bait fish.
Seeing their path I was able to avoid them and still be able to catch a few more fish before heading home.
I’ve attached a few pictures.
The strange looking little rod in the shot with a blue fish on the seat is an Emmrod.
The little thing handles very well from a W thanks to the upright casting position the boat allows. For close in casting at short ranges the rod is lots of fun, especially with fish that pull as hard as those little blues.
I’ll have to review the rod itself for use in the W since it’s a nice combination.

Here is Jeff’s latest fishing report from Florida, in case you’re interested to know what the fishing conditions are down in the sunshine state:

“I spent the morning and early afternoon paddling around in the W and fishing. No big fish to speak of but loads of little bluefish the largest just over 12 inches. At times they foamed the water chasing minnows and would just slam my lure the moment it hit the water. Loads of fun and it would have been one of those times kids would have had a ball because the action was nonstop. I looked around for larger fish but none were to be found in the area I was at today.
The day started with me wearing a fleece top, long sleeve t-shirt, fishing shirt, and a rain parka. By mid morning it had warmed enough I was down to just the T-shirt. The water was very clear which may be why the large game fish were not in the area. Oddly enough I saw very few kayakers until about 2PM when I headed home. I guess most people were just waiting for it to warm up a bit.
