Justin Speed checks in this week with a reader report from Baton Rouge. Well done Justin! "Left Baton Rouge, LA at 4AM and headed Southwest to Calcascieu Lake with a couple kayak fishing buddies of mine. We made it to Hog Island gully just before sun up. We were fully rigged just as the sun came up and decided to try our luck for shrimp with the cast nets. No such luck. So as usual we tie on our favorite plastics and start our paddling. We head east towards Calcascieu Lake. I cast out my chartreuse Matrix shad on a white 1/4 ounce jighead. Less than 10 minutes into the paddle, I thought I'd hung up on some structure...WRONG. First fish of the day was the biggest. 26.5" 5.2 lb Louisiana Speck. I didn't catch any more of this size, but ended with 4 trout (the big one, two 17", and one 13") By 10AM the water had practically stopped moving. We turned around to paddle back to the vehicle. I caught a 16" flounder on the turn around on the same plastic. All fish caught were on the yellow matrix shad. Great day on the water." |

The Escape is the perfect sit on top kayak to throw in the water at a moments notice for a paddle, a float, a quick fishing trip, or a sunset.
For long-reach fishing expeditions the Pro Fisherman is the ideal kayak. 33 cm (13") longer than the Fish n Dive, the Pro Fisherman has a narrower beam and is lightweight.
At 18ﾒ long, the Expedition is designed to go fast. Built for the performance paddler it accelerates quickly and gets to its top speed in a short period of time.
