Poling The W Kayak In The Tidal Flooded Grass, Fly Fishing For Redfish, By Kevin Eastman

Posted on October 29, 2011 by W kayak

As promised, here is the October flooded grass fishing report.
I ventured into some new areas this week and found some new hot spots that I’ve never seen anyone fishing in. Most likely because they can’t get to them.
This is probably the last flood tide of the season that the weather and water will still be warm. In November the water will cool off and the flooded grasses don’t have a lot of crabs left in them so the fishing slows a lot. Once again it’s great to pole the Wavewalk kayak around the shallow water while standing high on that platform. It’s a unique experience pushing your way through miles of areas that I usually have no access to other than during flood tides. Catching the fish is a bonus. Continue reading →

Initial Review of Rigged Fishing Kayak With DIY Wheel, Gary Thorberg, Minnesota

Posted on April 25, 2011 by W kayak

Wow! That’s awesome! I was able to jump in and do it all within minutes!
I was very impressed with how well it tracked, and how easy it is to paddle. Haven’t tried a canoe paddle yet. My stand-up balance needs a little more work, but I was able to make a few casts with my fly rod no problem. A few more outings, and I will give it a try with a
passenger. Can’t wait to do it again! Continue reading →

Kevin’s Stand Up Fly Fishing Kayak Poling Through Flooded Grass – Florida

Posted on September 13, 2010 by W kayak

Standing is a great advantage since you have a much better vantage point to look for fish. I’ve always stood in my SOT kayak for this type of fishing but had to pay quite a bit of attention to balance while doing so. With this boat, I can concentrate more on looking for fish rather than balance. I pole the boat around using a long aluminum pool pole with a small paddle attached …
The extra height provides a great distance to look for fish. I was rewarded with sighting a number of reds and did manage to trick one with a fly. Continue reading →
