Kayak Trip and Fishing Reports

Winter Texas Kayak Fishing
Friday, 20 January 2012
  It's January and we are in the middle of a Texas winter.  In the summer months, it almost seems like the fish find you; you just paddle into a marsh and the tails of red drum are plentiful.  In the winter months, not so much, at...     Read More...
Fighting the Cold and Wind is Worth it!
Sunday, 04 December 2011
My last two trips have been very tough due to cold temperatures and strong winds. These are conditions a lot of kayak fisherman try to avoid; I've been guilty of this myself. High winds definitely annoy me more than cold temperatures. Wind can...     Read More...

It Sounded Like a Good Idea
Wednesday, 29 June 2011
Jimmy VanPelt is crazy. He just doesn’t think like the rest of us do. That’s why I wasn’t surprised when he called me about an “exciting opportunity” for the Blue Line Fishing Team that he and I are a part of. He went on to explain that he...     Read More...

Montauk
Tuesday, 09 November 2010
