Wavewalk Kayaks

Donavan Campbell is a stream kayak angler from North Carolina, who got his W300 in the summer of last year. He took his time to write a review, and it was worth waiting for…:

I wanted to share my review of the W300 with you…

-”Look at the teeth on that Muskie!”

I use the W300 on the New River in the NC mountains (Sparta, Jefferson) for smallmouth bass fishing.

I was very impressed with the stability of the W300 for river fishing and it’s tracking.
Water depths range from 10′ to 6″ on the New River and the W can handle either along with occasional sharp rocks.

I keep the rigging light for easy maneuverability out of the water and plan to add an additional rod holder and the “wheels” I see from other owners. I fish with other standard kayaks and am glad I purchased the W, I strongly recommend the W to everyone that asks, thanks.

Added some fish pictures, first calendared fishing trip for 2010 is March 26th & 27th!

PS- If anyone in western NC wants to check out a wavewalk I would be happy to help them…

Nov 2nd, spent an hour fishing and got two nice smallies In 13′ to 18′ of water with a crank bait.

November 3rd I went to Rainbow (again) :)  in the W500. Got on the water at 2pm, off at 4:30pm– Windy, partly cloudy/sunny, water temps were 49 to 52 degrees.Got to my first spot after paddling against the wind, positioned my yak, went to reach for the anchor, And it’s not THERE!! I took it out to empty the container because it had water in it yesterday…………….And I forgot to put it back in!!!!!—Soooooooooooo I couldn’t hold position, where I needed to. Many shorts, which I didn’t take pictures of, and Jinxed myself. Always take a picture , or the big ones won’t come!!!!!!!!!!  —I got tired real fast, so I decided to just drift back to the launch along the steep drop offs in 25′ to 14′ of water. Picked up another small smallie, and snapped a picture. 3 cast later my crank bait got SLAMMED!!!! And this is what I got:

5.4 lbs on the scale, never touched the brown with my hands or net, thank God for boga grips.
I removed the hooks as quickly as possible, wish I took the length, but didn’t want to lay the Brown on the tape.
She swam away STRONG!

Life is Good!

John Fabina’s report from his inspiring kayak fishing trip in Michigan Upper Peninsula:

-”I spent time on two rivers in two days. Fishing started slow the first day but picked up the second day. The W made it possible for me to take a small entrance off the main river and find a beaver lodge. There was a nice deep hole by the lodge. I caught quite a variety in this honey hole. Smallmouth bass, perch, northern pike, and my first walleye landed on the W which was 18″. I lost one the same size the day before alongside the boat, I forgot my landing net. I was also able to sneak up on a deer, and snap a photo. My W truly made this an enjoyable and successful trip.”

-”When I returned from my fishing trip Jeanne’s new W300 had arrived. Thanks for the extras. She is very much looking forward to getting on the water.More photos to come of Jeanne’s new W,
John”
