Northwest Kayak Anglers

"A venturesome minority will always be eager to get off on their own,
and no obstacle should be placed in their path;
let them take risk, for God sake, let them get lost, sun burnt, stranded, drowned,
eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches -
that is the right and privilege of any free American."
--Edward Abbey--

"Adventure is just bad planning."

Looking forward to this year, when the temperatures start to warm a little and the weather settles, the first thing I always think of is my home fishing grounds I'll go back to. Just like last year, they're gonna be fun and they will produce, but even more exciting are the road trips and new adventures that lie ahead. Whether it's the Oregon Rockfish Classic or just a weekend excursion to the coast, the way to stay for a lot of us is to camp....

locally using various techniques

and their efficiency in taking
large salmon, increases as spring passes through.

Product Review: The GoPro Wide HERO camera

Written by Zee posted in Product Reviews Print

The first time I saw this little grey box in a store I thought it looked interesting but just couldn’t imagine good video coming
from a tiny little camera. And then it didn't have a LCD screen? Deal breaker I thought. That was a few years ago and since
then GoPro has really made some great improvements. I got to meet one of their representatives and when she handed me
the camera I was sure it was going to be a little gimmicky thing that really wouldn’t measure up to what we as kayak
fishermen want in a camera. Boy was I wrong!

Product Review: KoneZone Flashers

Written by Spot posted in Product Reviews Print

Kayak trolling can be a real drag…. No, not that kind of drag. Rather, the kind of drag that makes you wish you had a rudder and
outdrive. While 6oz of weight and a spinning herring
are manageable, the addition of a flasher or dodger can easily prove to be too much. Enter the KoneZone flasher. With its slow roll and
reduced drag, the KoneZone flasher is perfectly
suited to kayak trolling.
