Fishing in Louisiana

I love to fish. I have been fishing my entire life. In my early years I mostly fished fresh water. My mentor, my Grandfather was an expert freshwater fisherman.The last 10 years of my life, I was in a job that prevented me from persuing my passion. Last year I switched careers and it opened up the opportunity to get back in the water and on the fish.I got turned on to kayak fishing by the owner of Stately Rods, an expert kayak fisherman as well and an gifted custom rod builder. Kayak fishing is now my passion. I enter every tournament and fish every opportunity I can. Living in Louisiana provides, in my opinion , the best saltwater marsh fishing in the world! These are my stories.

Hobie Pro Angler Kayak


Mirage Drive

Hobie Pro Angler 12
           
      I'm spoiled. My kayak, a 2013 Hobie Pro Angler 12 , is the Cadillac of kayaks. I say I'm spoiled because this is my first kayak and I went straight to the top. I never got to fight the 30 mph wind gusts while trying to paddle. I never had to fight to get my paddle and rod untangled. I never had the feeling of barely being able to cast because me arms were so tired from paddling out, oh yeah, and the 6 mile paddle back to shore.
              I just peddle my path to where I want to go, using the Hobie Mirage Drive. I believe the Mirage Drive is the most innovative piece of kayaking equipment since the paddle. These peddles allow me to keep my hands fishing at all times. The amount of speed I can go is rediculous.
Vantage Seat
            The other ground breaking innovation on the Pro Angler is the Vantage seating. This seat has every adjustment you find in automobiles today. Even a lumbar adjustment. The seat can also be easily removed and used on land. I can go out all day covering mile after mile and when I'm finished, I have no back pain or soreness. This seat is a flat out  game changer. It is amazing!
             All in all I've been fishing all my life, but I feel like rookie when it comes to fishing in my yak. Each trip out I learn something new and even suprise myself sometimes. I'll never be able to say I mastered this sport, but I'm sure going to have the time of my life trying!
