Yak Bassin in Wisconsin (Movie) – John Fab. WI

Posted on May 13, 2011 by W kayak

It proves again that you don’t necessarily need a 50 grand bass boat to catch big bass, and yet be comfortable and dry while you’re doing it, which you can’t be if you fish from kayaks other than the W.
John caught this magnificent largemouth bass in very shallow water (see movie) – John says that his W kayak would take him to spots where no other boat can go, including other fishing kayaks. It has to do with the fact that you can launch the W practically anywhere, and go with it over obstacles in shallow water, as well as stand up in it anytime you want, and scout for passages in the thick vegetation, and sometime even push pole in very skinny water – One of the reasons why a long and sturdy W kayak paddle is more practical than other paddles.

3 lb Largemouth Bass for Kayak Fisherman Ray, Lake Cypress Springs, Texas

Posted on April 20, 2011 by W kayak

Fish number 3, at Lake Cypress Springs near Mt. Vernon, TEXAS, 3 lb large mouth bass.… I was competing with the $50K bass boats with 250 hp motors… most of them were in the calmer waters of the points where the W worked just fine. I have rigged a new seat, holder for fish finder transducer and monitor, tackle box and water proof box mount that can be quickly removed. Continue reading →

32 Inch Pike for John in His First Kayak Fishing Trip This Season, Wisconsin

Posted on April 14, 2011 by W kayak

My buddy Bob and I headed out for the first time this year with our Wavewalk kayaks. Temps climbed into the 70′s and winds were calm. The lake we were fishing is only accessible by kayaks or small boats. Fishermen that want to access this lake must often cross bogs. Our Wavewalks are perfect for this and handled the challenge with out a problem. Our reward was having the whole lake to ourselves. We were targeting early season crappies. Bob started catching a few and I lost a few. Then I got side tracked by Largemouth bass that started popping my little Road-runner jig and minnow. The nice surprise was the 32 inch pike that bit on my bait and provided a very exciting fight. Water temps on this small lake had climbed into the low 50′s. It felt so great to be back on the water in the Wavewalks after a long winter! Continue reading →
