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

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.

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

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

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
