I know it, you do a lot of fishing up this way?? Also aren't you a rod builder?

I do a lot of kayak fishing here. Float the rivers for smallies and I have a POA for Bella Vista so I do a lot of bass and crappie fishing there. I catfish and striper fish Beaver.

Yea I build rods. Not as many as I use to but still put out 1 or 2 a month.

I'm going try and get into the kayak fishing more this spring, I catfish quite a bit chum them from my dock and also go and fish the tailwaters on the Arkansas river, I live on Hickory Creek for the time being and have a private dock. I thought about trying to do some kayak fishing for stripers this year. You build any heavy standup type rods?

I've taken my yak out just a handful of times for stripers. All those Damn ski boats and wakeborders make it a pain especially if you hook into something nice and go for a ride. I've caught a few medium sized ones in the blue springs area and some near the hey 12 bridge when them and the white bass start to school up around there. I have a Jackson Cuss right now but will probably trade it for a Jackson big rig soon. As far as the rods go I can build anything but fly rods. Just can't get into those. Shoot me a PM with what your looking for and I can get you a price

Chilli, My son and I are in for some sharking that week with you guys! We'll go anytime Ft. Morgan or Pensacola. Have gear and 2 yaks! Let us know!

I'm thinking on a Jackson as well, My wife and I almost bought a Jackson Big Tuna tandem last year.

I wish they would put a category for land based sharking. I get it! It's a pier forum, but some side conversation could bring more people to this site. Just something I wish for! Not all wishes come true, but worth thinking about.
