September 10th Old Hickory Lake next event

I would love to have a kayak I could stand up in and fish. That is one of the more annoying things about fishing out of a kayak well that and the fact that if I am fishing a worm and the wind is blowing The kayak will spin or drift. Do you guys fish these about every week?

I go once a week, usually on Saturday morning and I'm always fishing out of my kayak. I'm also frequently fishing plastic worms as it's my go-to for bass. On windy days I have a bit of difficulty with the kayak drifting. This can be solved with an anchor or a drift sock to slow you down a lot. I don't have either yet but plan on it. What I do when worm fishing on a windy day is cast in front of me so I'm drifting towards it rather than away since the latter causes issues keeping the worm on the bottom.

It's actually designed specifically to have the ability to stand in. There are pontoons underneath it that allow for this. You'll fall out of it from standing before you'll tip it over from standing. That hasn't happened to me yet but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

I try to get out every week, and unusually do.
Like Jimmy stated a drift chute, drag anchor, or regular anchor is a good idea in windy times. Also the issue with spinning can be alleviated with a rope hanging off the back of the kayak for a little more drag.

We got rid of the Coosa's because of the tippyness, and the nose sticks up catching a lot of wind, when paddling the nose does a walk the dog action when paddling.

Standing in the Rides is quite easy, and also the Commanders. I hear the Mokens are easy to stand in also.

i just got the new Old Town Twin Heron Angler and i love it so far. very stable for standing. now i just gotta outfit it a bit.

Jimmy, I've got an anchor laying around in my garage that you can have.....and plenty of rope too.

i picked up a hawg trough, fish grips, and an anchor trolley from Hook1 yesterday. Chris was a really nice guy, and they had a good discount on everything for the truck sale.

i am going to do the retractable leash thing for my anchor. should be a pretty easy mod/install.

Good to hear you had a good experience. The truckload sale was extended until today also. See you next Tuesday.

Alright guys, last event (1st one ever) the winner took home $65 with two others taking home cash. The big fish took home $40 cash, and a very respectable Hook 1 gift certificate.

So far it looks like 10 are confirmed, so payouts should be at least what they were last time.

The more people we get the more money will be paid out 100% payout.

You don't even have to pay to fish. If you want to get more familiar with kayak fishing or fishing in general come on out and meet up with someone.

If you don't have a kayak or gear just let us know before hand and we can arrange a premium kayak, paddle, and PFD. Just bring yourself, rods, reels, and lures.

We are working on some sweet things for 2014, and should really draw some competition in.

Unfortunately due to some events and photography work I picked up, I cannot make it tonight. The photography work is guaranteed money, the fishing is not...
