Jeff sent us a video showing his W500 fully rigged for the upcoming kayak fishing tournament:
How does he get his kayak to be so clean??

The one and only Jeff McGovern produced these two new kayak fishing movies.
In the first one, Jeff shows a nice sea trout (a keeper), which is his first catch of this year.
In this second movie, Jeff has a guest on board: A Redfish he thinks he recognized from a previous kayak fishing movie he made last year 
That’s right – today YouTube reports showed that the total number of views for all Wavewalk Kayaks’ movies posted on that website topped 250,000. That’s a quarter of a million, and a big number for a small company
The most viewed is the movie entitled ‘WALKING ON WAVES’ (22,600 views):
The second most viewed is a movie named ‘Demo of Fishing Kayak Stability’ (17,600 views):
And the third most viewed is called ‘Stand Up Kayak Paddling- Fishing Kayak Surf Launching’ (16,200 views):
Jeff’s movie named ‘Rigged W300 Wavewalk Fishing Kayak’ comes fourth, with 15,500 views, and the movie he shot called ‘Super Fishing Kayak Stability Demo 2009 Wavewalk’ is fifth, with 14,400 views.
This is an opportunity to thank Jeff again for his huge contribution, as well as others who’ve contributed interesting, fun and otherwise valuable material to our website.
These numbers give YouTube’s motto ‘Broadcast Yourself’ a real meaning for us.
-”I forgot the chest mount today and what a time to leave it home the fish were quite cooperative. I caught 11 legal sea trout and a load of smaller ones. Managed a half dozen little redfish in the same area. I moved when the bite slowed down and got into a pile of ladyfish who were happy to eat everything that passed in front of them. It was a wonderful morning on the water. What made it even more fun was that I used a very old fishing rod I’ve had since the late 1970s.”
-”The rod itself it a four piece “Ugly Stick” fly/spin packrod. I bought it to carry behind the seat of my truck when I worked in Northern Indiana. That rod has been some miles with me. It was rebuilt around 1995 by a friend in Casselberry Florida. All new Fuji guides and a Fuji spinning reel seat turned it into a wonderful light action rod. It has fished from coast to coast plus in Mexico and Canada. Today it was rigged with one of my little Daiwa reels filled with 8lb mono line. All the fish today were caught on a little 1/8oz jig head with a 3 inch Gulp shrimp in “Nuclear Chicken” or “Sugar Spice Glow” colors. It was nice to get back to a simple outfit with simple rigging.”
Jeff send us this new movie.
This time he and his kayak fishing buddy Jeff Moran beached their fishing kayaks in Bing’s Landing, and they are fishing from shore. Apparently it’s chilly and windy down in Florida.
-”Jeff Moran and I headed out about 9:30AM, we had hopes that the weather would warm up some. No such luck but once you are there you just have to get on the water and fish. It was blowing like crazy and to be honest the temps were hovering right around 45 degrees or so. We were dressed like Eskimos as you can see from the video. But we had a blast.
As far as catching fish, well at least we had a few good pulls and some of our lures got chewed. But the time spent exploring was wonderful and we found some places that will be really great fish producing spots in the future. We ended up staying out till around 3PM then packed up and headed home. What was really cool on the way out was family of deer that walked right in front of Jeff’s car on the way out. Funny thing was when I headed in the meet him earlier in the day the same family must have been finishing breakfast because they passed in front of me at the same spot.
The Princess Place area we used to access Pellicer flats is 3800 acres of park land owned by Flagler County. It is simply beautiful and has facilities for fishing, camping. hiking, horse back riding, and viewing historic structures. The area is well maintained by the county so it is kept clean and very safe for folks who want to enjoy it.
With all the fishless paddling yesterday I was reminded that the W kayak is a great exploration craft in addition to a fantastic fishing boat. This is a boat you can truly become one with, walking on water really is possible.
–Jeff”
This is another instruction movie from Jeff McGovern, who revisits the same oyster beds in his W fishing kayak, this time at high tide:
Jeff caught a Needle fish by accident in while fishing teh Florida flats, and this is the movie he shot of it:
Thanks Jeff!
Unless you live in a waterfornt property you need to get your fishing kayak and gear form your car to the launching spot, and back.
It can’t be easier and simpler than doing it with a Wavewalk fishing kayak: Just toss your gear and tackle inside, grab the carrying handles, and drag it on practically any surface except concrete and asphalt pavement…
It’s as easy as it gets, and as Jeff points out – you really don’t want to have to carry a kayak trolley on board if there’s another solution.
This is Jeff’s new, experimental movie that shows him paddling through grass beds in shallow water – first in the riding position, and than standing up, so he can scout for fish.
Yesteday’s movie was in slow motion, to enable perceiving the paddler and the kayak’s movements.
This movie is in actual, regular speed:
