W Fishing Kayaks in Tucson, Arizona!

Posted on January 22, 2012 by

Wavewalk Fishing kayaks’ first dealer in the Southwest is Sonora Fishing Kayaks, recently founded by John and Susie Castanha.
The southwestern states include Arizona, Nevada, California and New Mexico, and they have a quite a few W kayak anglers, as this website’s Southwest Kayak Fishing section shows. However, a dealership is something altogether different, and it will surely help promoting the no-pain, no-nonsense type of fishing that W kayak anglers are used to.

John is a lifelong offshore fisherman, and he likes to tinker with outboard motors. He’ll be happy to help other W kayak anglers motorize their kayaks.

Kayak Fishing in the Northeastern United States

Posted on January 18, 2012 by

The Northeastern region of the United States offers both freshwater and saltwater opportunities, and it’s considered one of the best regions in the world as far as fishing is concerned. But since the northeastern climate is colder for the most part, it’s not as good for kayak fishing as the climate in the south. Therefore, you’d find less kayak anglers in this region.

When fishing out of W kayaks is concerned, many anglers in the Northeast have been switching from canoes, common fishing kayaks, and motorboats to this new type of kayak that offers more advantages than any of this watercraft, both inland and offshore.

This online magazine features a special section dedicated to kayak fishing in the Northeast, which includes numerous trip reports, reviews, pictures and movies, rigging tips, and more, from the region’s finest kayak anglers.

Kayak Fishing In The Midwest – A Breakthrough

Posted on January 16, 2012 by

So far, Midwestern anglers have been reluctant to adopt kayaks as a fishing platform. The reasons for this are many, and they all seem to come down to one word – COLD.
Yes, the climate in the Midwest is not as warm and nice as it is in the southern states, where kayak fishing is the most popular, and sit-in, SOT and hybrid kayaks don’t offer much to protect their passengers from capsizing, or from cold weather and water.
But kayak fishing in cold water and weather now has a kayak that offers both much more stability than the other kayak types can, as well as better protection.
This magazine, Kayak Fishing Unlimited, has a permanent section dedicated to Kayak Fishing in the Midwest. This section features trip reports and fishing kayak reviews from Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio, as well as reviews of rigged fishing kayaks, and even some information about hunting from kayaks, and stories about motorized fishing kayaks.

Posted on January 13, 2012 by

Florida is known to be the world’s fishing capital, and together with the Southeast, it’s the biggest market for fishing related products and services. The same is true for kayak fishing.
It was a customer from Florida who bought the first W kayak ever, although he didn’t fish from it.
Florida has more kayak fishing clubs than any other state, or country, and the biggest kayak fishing event worldwide, the Jacksonville Classic kayak tournament, with some 400 participants, takes place in Florida.
This magazine has a special section reserved for kayak fishing in Florida and the Southeast >>
It includes kayak reviews and kayak fishing trips reports from Florida and other southeastern states, such as Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, etc.
This section also features reviews of rigged fishing kayaks, including some used for fly fishing in the flats.

Developments in Kayak Fishing in Europe

Posted on January 12, 2012 by

Many Europeans like to fish, but unlike Americans and Canadian anglers, they fish predominantly from shore, as motorboats are relatively more expensive to purchase and maintain in Europe than they are in North America.

Kayak fishing is still unknown to most European anglers, although some progress is being made in some European countries. However, when it comes to fishing from a boat, most European anglers still prefer the traditional platforms, such as motorboats, canoes, dinghies, or belly boats.

There are kayak fishing clubs in some European countries, but the participation is still small, especially when compared to the participation in the southern US states, and and in other warm regions, such as Australia and New Zealand.

Recently, W fishing kayaks have become available for sale in Norway and Sweden, and in the Netherlands. Anglers from other countries, such as the UK and Italy, still order these kayaks directly from the factory in the USA. The advent of new solution for motorizing fishing kayaks will certainly help many European anglers to switch from traditional boats to fishing kayaks. Learn more about kayak fishing in Europe >>
