Several years ago, I was talking with Jeff McGovern about the kayak fishing phenomenon, and he predicted that unlike other fishing kayaks, the W will become as popular in the northern regions of the United States as in its southern … Continue reading →

Kayak Ice Fishing (In a Way), And Last Tiger Muskie For The Season – By Gary Thorberg

Posted on December 7, 2011 by W kayak

The Wavewalk kayak can do many things, but breaking thick ice is not one of them. It is too light, and simply rides up on top of the ice. I stopped after a couple of feet, as this could put you in a dangerous position (not recommended).
I think that my lake kayaking is about over this year.
One final Tiger Muskie is a good way to close out the season! Continue reading →

Opener 2011 – Minnesota Kayak Fishing Trip Report With 18′ Mothership

Posted on June 2, 2011 by W kayak

Opener 2011 was a success! (see photo gallery) Weather was lousy, but that made for good fishing. We caught and ate a lot of crappies, caught and released a lot of bass and northern pike. Didn’t really fish much for walleyes, but managed to catch and eat a few anyway. The W500 was really fun to fish from. I was able to go anywhere I wanted, and was never tired, even after hours of fishing. Trolling, casting, bobber fishing, and fly fishing were all easily managed. We tried transporting the ‘W’ with our ‘mother ship’, our 18′ bay boat. It was too easy! The long run into the wind to the fishing spot took only a few minutes! We will be doing that again. All in all, I can honestly say that fishing from the ‘W’ was one of my more memorable fishing experiences to date! Continue reading →

Short Review of W500 Fishing Kayak, by Anthony DeFusco, New Hampshire

Posted on May 23, 2011 by W kayak

The 500 is great. It only took a minimum amount of time of actual paddling to get used to the kayak.
The weather is still bad but I am planning to get out next week and see if I can catch a fish.
My daughter Lisa and I have spent many hours fishing out of the kayaks on the weekends but I have not slimed the 500 yet. Today we had to quit because our hands got so cold.
The 500 is very stable and easy to control. The stability is very important as I had a major surgery on my back last year and somehow it messed up my balance.
You have designed a great craft. Thanks to you
I can enjoy fishing again. Continue reading →
