Jeff sent us this new clip, where he shows his W kayak equipped with three Emmrod fishing rods, and he tells about the his favorite one, the new Fuji model:
Thanks Jeff!
Wavewalk isn’t the only manufacturer that benefits from Jeff McGovern’s expert advice on fishing.
Jeff’s second article on the Emmrod fishing rods is about their new model named Fuji, which Jeff had suggested they develop.
Jeff has only good things to say about this new fishing rod, and if he says it you’d better believe it!
Jeff took his new fishing rod with him to his annual, family fishing trip in the Canadian wilderness.
In this picture he’s holding a smallmouth bass in one hand and his new Fuji fishing rod in the other.
Jeff McGovern elucidates this complex and sometime confusing issue in a new article entitled Choosing a Bait Caster.
In his article Jeff methodically explains and advises the new kayak angler about different rods, reels and lines, and helps see more clearly into the huge product offering available today in the field of fishing tackle.
The article includes pictures.
By the way, Jeff serves as adviser to tackle manufacturers, and last time he counted he had three hundred fishing rods in his collection…
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.
