Daniel Pham Wilderness Systems T160 experience

This episode took place on July 30, and July 31 of 2010. On July 30 I loaded up my WS Tarpon 160 and headed out to Freeport Surfside, I launched my WS T160 kayak at the beach in Surfside Texas. The weather reported for the surf to be two feet or less, it looked more like three feet or less, the water condition at the surf was off color giving it a dirty brown color, on the paddle out to the two mile gas rig the water color changed to a dirty green color, on this trip my bait of choice was liv

james p shank An Amazing Hookup

Snuck out to a favorite spot for a bit of Largemouth froggin Sunday, since we had gotten a nice slow rain the night before and I had hoped that it would cool down the water a bit. We have had a long dry stretch as far as the bite has gone in this honey hole, with nothing, literally nothing, for nearly a month.

Hit the water at about 9am and the day was overcast and still a tad warm, but I donned the eXtreme Video glasses just in case and began working a favorite cove, hitting t

james p shank Kayak Fly Fishing

Fly Fishing..... it's not for everyone... but it could be. The long rod has it's own rewards. A day spent fishing and no hook ups to some is seen as a lost day. But when I spend a day flyfishing and don't hook up, I look back on the day.. and I see success.

I see the cast where I did everything right, and the cast laid in just perfect. The cast went exactly where it was suposed to and the fly landed as pretty as you please. Success. I remember the perfectly timed double

james p shank Double Header

The heat here in Central Virginia has been brutal this last couple weeks, and running in the triple digits. Miss T and I live to fish, and with our advancing age and declining health just don't do life in the oven like we used too. What to do, what to do? Ah... a solution was at hand, fool Mother Nature. Sent a couple messages to friends, but due to the short notice, only one member of the inner circle was available. A great plan though, and at 0445 am, we met at the 701 landing of Briery Cre

Daniel Pham Kayak King Fish Tournament in Corpus

The forecast prediction for July 17, 2010 was great for kayak fishing offshore, our team launched at Padre Island National Seashore. After a 3.3 mile paddle we arrive at the Spinnaker Rig, the water color was an off green that had visibility of 5 feet. Our baits that we used were ribbon fish, Spanish sardines, and mullet. After a few hours I get one good run on my line, I take my pole and start to fight it, soon after the beast jumped out of the water and reviled its self to be

james p shank Proper Position is Key to a Good Day

As we all know, proper positioning in the kayak can be the key to a successful day on the water, or waking up the next morning in pain, and wondering if we'll live to see the sunset. I have had mornings where I roll over and wonder if I will make it out of bed without assistance. Wait, I didn't paddle yesterday... Hmmm.. this may have more to do with age. ( What? Who said that?)

Anywho... Let's talk about your proper paddling position for a minute.

What i
