11/23/2018 launched kayak 11AM at primitive ramp Fishbone Creek (Dixie County, FL). Fished north of the ramp until 4PM. Water temp 61F. "Dirty". High tidal coefficient (approaching full moon phase) provided strong current. High tide 2PM. Depth varied from nearly 0 to up to 8'+. Partly clou...

Slick Lure...hard to beat. Try the new Lil' Slick for cooler water temps, less active target species. Available in lots of colors.

Thanks for the advice.

The kayaks are in the channel (perhaps they could/should be elsewhere so as not to impede any motorized vessels). The boat is in the channel. I'm assuming the depth of the channel is adequate enough for the boat to navigate at a reduced rate of speed. So,...as the boater sees and approaches the kay...

Suggestions for the future:

No one blasted the tournament director.

Regardless of the circumstances, by law the operator is responsible for his vessel's wake and any damage or personal injury it may cause.

...Now a kakyer deciding to paddle down the main channel of the steinhatchee river deserves to be swamped... A kayaker in the main channel of the Steinhatchee River is "asking for trouble" and should know better. But bear in mind some are newbies: over time I've seen some boaters (I assum...

...From all appearances it was 100% CPR... The angler landed then untied the stringer from the kayak. Both trout were over 20" the larger looked to be around 24". The stringer was then tied on to the trailer's kayak rack, the fish still lively. "Wow, nice fish! You should have entere...
