Hey everyone, Jameson here with Road Trip Angler! I just wrapped up a fantastic shoot in Pamlico Sound, a beautiful spot on the eastern coast of North Carolina. If you’re thinking about heading to this region, let me share the top five things you should consider doing while you’re there. This area is a paradise for anglers, outdoors lovers, and anyone who wants to experience North Carolina's natural charm.
I was recently on beautiful Kent Island in Maryland filming an episode for TV, and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to share some vital tips on how to dress for kayak fishing. But before we dive in, I want to give a special shout-out to our partner, the American Canoe Association (ACA).
Sight fishing, or sight casting, is a technique I primarily use for redfish. It also works for bass when they’re bedding in shallow water and feeding near the surface.
Today I'm going to be telling you all about the latest release from Jackson Kayak - both a detailed run-down of its features, as well as my own assessments from a thorough paddle/pedal test.
Fishing kayaks have been some of the best-selling models on the market for a number of years now. With that popularity has come significant advancements in the tech/styles, but also the prices. Hardcore anglers might be accustomed to spending 10s of thousands of dollars on motorboats and other gear, so a high-end kayak in the $2,000 to $5,000+ range might not be a big deal.
Pedal kayaks have exploded in popularity over the past 5 years. They are particularly popular for fishing purposes, as they let you move the boat around while keeping your hands free. However, one of the downsides of pedal kayaks is that they can range in price anywhere from $1,600 to over $5,500! Perception released the Showdown with the goal of offering a high-quality pedal fishing kayak at an affordable price. Now, I'm traditionally more of a strict paddler, but I stretched out my hammies and slipped on my best peddling shoes in order to see if the Perception Showdown is worth the money. Let's comb through the basics and then I'll give you my thoughts across key categories.
A little less than a decade ago, Bonafide stormed onto the scene with kayaks that were highly stable, paddled well, and were consciously designed to enhance the all-round user experience.
My visit to Norfolk County was my first ever paddling trip to Southern Ontario. It was also the first time I’ve ever swapped the kayak paddle for pedals. This particular kayaking mission involved kayak fishing in Long Point Bay with Bobby Maerz of BAER Fishing Adventures.
