river guide Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 Less than a month until the first event!
river guide Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 Just a month away from the South River event. This is always the biggest turnout of the series due to the excellent bass and pike fishing. For $110 you get entry fee, camping, pot luck dinner, draw prize tickets, great fishing, wicked prizes, and a chance to win an Ocean Kayak Prowler Big Game valued at over $1500. You can't go camping for a weekend at that price!
YoungYakker Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 I might sign up next for a tournament next year. I would like to see how people efficiently catch bass/pike for a tournament. I fish leisurely so I do not care how much a catch or how big for that matter. But when a tournament is on the line you want to be as efficient and LUCKY as possible! I want to see some video coverage from a winning kayak from this tournament before I sign up.

You will be waiting a long time to see video coverage from any angler in any tournament unless they have a dedicated person to do so. No one is going to spend time to film when they are tourney fishing.
yakfish Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 I'd be interested in participating in the south river event. Where do I find tourney rules? Based on length? Weight? Catch, photo, release?

YoungYakker Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 river guide you raise a valid point... We need a kayak fishing great with a camera crew to video tape him. FOR ME AND ME ONLY!

YoungYakker Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 I have no problem doing that because I have an amazing camera mount. I am more interested in seeing how people cast and paddle and direct their kayak around structure all at the same time. Is there a trick to it?
yakfish Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Practice buddy. We'll have to meet up sometime.
YoungYakker Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 I am used to anchoring and letting bait soak but I want to get my lures wet again and I want to be ready for the bass this summer. But getting close to the structure within casting distance and directing the boat parallel to it has been a challenge. Its not impossible but it definitely makes for an earned fish when you get one!

Its not impossible but it definitely makes for an earned fish when you get one! when I kayak fish for bass although difficult I drift shoreline using my feet hanging in the water to keep myself facing shore. It takes practice but it's doable. And makes for a lot of fun.
YoungYakker Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Do you kick you feet around in circles or something? How does that make sense lol! I am going to try it for sure!!
jordanl Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Feet in the water kinda works as a paddle does. Kick left to aim right and vise versa. Not incredibly stealthy but it worked for me. My other method was I fish shoreline where I know the wind will have me drift parallel to shore. Difficult in some bodies of water but that worked great and in the end had me literally on top of bass
river guide Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Posted July 21, 2015 South River event is this weekend and registration is still open. Lots of great prizes plus an Ocean Kayak Big Game II will be raffled off! Everyone gets a free raffle ticket with their entry fee.
