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

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

I tried to locate crappie in deeper water and started to get light hits that turned out to be small perch. I started getting action in 15 to 20 feet of water from the largemouth so I continued to fish that depth for a couple of hours and had a fun day. The bass really fought hard for this time of the year. But maybe they always did I don’t know because I have never fished for bass this time of year. the only reason I had this opportunity is because of the great weather and Wavewalk kayaks. The W’s have really lengthened my fishing season. Continue reading

Rox’ Stand Up Kayak Fishing Battle With the Rainbow Reservoir Largemouth Bass ‘Pig’ – Connecticut

I dig in as best I could with the Paddle, and backed the kayak off a good 10′ with my bail open…. reel in the slack line, and she’s still there, I stand up and really put the screws to her. This was the moment of truth, either she’d come out of the tree with my lure still in her mouth…………or she’d be gone. Continue reading
