This is pretty cool. I was browsing through On Demand and noticed a short clip about a guy catching redfish in Louisiana with a fly and on a kayak. I also noticed that this guy was paddling a Native Ultimate 12 just like mine

This is a really cool clip though and it really shows the versatility of the Native. Not to mention the MASSIVE redfish......

He did say you had to hitch on a ride on a boat to get out there right?

Pretty cool catching a big red like that in 4-6 inches of water.

WOW!

That was a slab!!!

That is great. I have caught reds like that at St. Marks. I am not telling Birddog or CaseyCook where.

I am not really sure if that was necessary or not. I know that he rented the kayak from that guy but surely there was a place to put in close enough to paddle to the location. Regardless, he did choose to hitch a ride.

My boat has to hitch a ride on its trailor to the ramp every time I go fishing. One advantage a boat has over a kayak is the ability to move to several different spots if the fish aren't biting in a particular location. I can tell you though, there's nothing like having a big fish like that pull you all around in a kayak. It's a totally different fishing experience.

Being on the fly does take it up a serious notch.
You don’t really need to hitch a ride, but why not?

You don’t really have to go all the way to Louisiana either.

THis is Kayak Kevin in Virginia. He had two Rods in the Water. Three weeks ago.

[Littoral]

Wow. That ain't right. I'll have to save that one.

I saw this a couple of months ago on Vs. - the guy lucked out getting that fish on his last day. I was keenly interested in it because I paddle an Ultimate 12 as well. Hopefully one day I'll get to hook into a red that size in my kayak. I'm taking a charter with this guy next January - won't be out of a kayak, but should still be loads of fun if the weather's decent.
