    Matt, having recently made my first few kayak fishing excursions, my appreciation of your total boat control has increased exponentially. And i wasn't even on a stream, just a couple of small lakes to essentially get a "feel" for things. I just hope to get half as good as you are at handling all aspects of it. Thanks for your work here.

      With the current speed this time of year it’s tricky! Lots of one hand on the paddle trying to keep my kayak straight while trying to one handed reel in slack with the other.

    Good outing for a lure trial. Like the honest reviews and I too thought it was gimmicky. I'll stick with the original 75 and 60 Ploppers and some knock off 110 versions I found that hold up pretty well. The smallies started to respond and that little stretch of river looked peaceful.
