Will edited some of our footage from the Panama trip and put together this little teaser video. I really look forward to seeing the full episode which will air sometime in the future on WFN. If you want to check out more video from Panama, here’s a little something James threw together from the trip.
Ken Whiting does a great job breaking down Aqua Bound’s Ray series of kayak paddles in this video. If you’re trying to figure what paddle is right for you, this is a great addition to a previous blog post I made: Kayak paddle sizing. I’ve enjoyed using both the Sting Ray Hybrid and the Surge Carbon from Aqua Bound and can definitely attest to the durability of their paddles. The carbon series is incredibly light weight as well, which means less fatigue when out on the water. Be sure to check out Aqua Bound when you’re in the market for a new paddle – I promise you won’t be disappointed.
The annual City Park Big Bass Rodeo & Fishtival is coming up on March 29th at New Orleans City Park. The rodeo is in its 67th year and organizers call it the oldest freshwater rodeo in the country. With over 700 anglers registered in the rodeo last, you can bet there will be a great turnout this year as well. They’ve added a new division this year, perfect for kayak fishermen, called Boats on the Bayou, which is limited to non-motorized vessels fishing in Bayou St. John, between Harrison Ave. and Robert E. Lee Blvd. Registration for the event is $15, you can find information regarding rules and registration here: http://www.neworleanscitypark.com/big-bass-fishing-rodeo-and-fishtival/boats-on-the-bayou-registration.
I plan to fish it and hope you do too, it should be a great time!
