YakDaddy here from Pig, Kentucky. I've been kayak fishing for a bit more than 20 years...started out in California, but my favorite haunts are in Florida. We have a little place on St. Pete Beach we get to 3 or 4 times each year. I'm partial to fishing around John's Pass (I grew up fishing there), but I venture as far as Sebastian Inlet and I can't resist the lure (no pun intended) of tailing reds on the flats around Cape Canaveral and the Haulover canal area. Here in Kentucky I fish the Green River (more species of fish than any other river in the world...no kidding), but I also venture in to the Nolin and Barren reservoirs when I want to try for hybrid bass, and Lake Malone when I get a hankerin' for real bass.I started out fishing from sit-in kayaks, taking a class on self-rescue in Sausalito Bay (just inside the Golden Gate). After a couple self-rescues in frigid water, I quickly converted to SOTs, and I've never looked back.
Our current fleet is two Ocean Kayak Prowler 15s and an Emotion Charger. My hobby morphed in to a business when I started producing and selling a kayak fishing platform called a Slider. You can check it out at YakDaddy.net.
I'm hoping to hook up with folks from the Tampa Bay area, where I grew up. Look forward to seeing you on the water.
Keep the wet side down!
