Making sense of scents is difficult with all of the choices on the market. Hopefully this will hope make sense of selecting scents.   Using Scents and Attractants Bass are very adaptive creatures and their ability to learn, though not fully understood, has been substantiated by several scientific studies. It is very important to make your presentation as realistic as possible. The use of scents can sometimes fill in that missing piece of the puzzle for the lure you have selected. Scent is also effective at masking offensive odors that may come in contact with your lure. Bacteria from oily hands, hair products, sunscreen, tobacco and other offensive odors...

Yes.  This is the story about the one.  Finally. But, there’s a problem… Over the past three years, I’ve learned a lot about the kayak tautog fishery in the lower Chesapeake Bay.  I’ve put in a good amount of time, and if I had to guess, I’ve probably caught nearly 200 togs during that time.  Though some were under 15″ and not worth talking about, I’ve also had my fair share of near trophy togs and everything in between. Coming within less than an inch of citation twice this year made my desire to catch that 23″+ tog that much more insatiable.  My quest for Togzilla became an obsession....

Last Saturday I fished the final event of the Hard Core Kayak Anglers Tournament with a number of Anglers from the Tampa Bay area. I figured that catching a nice snook would be the most difficult fish to catch out of the three species required to slam.  With this in mind I hit the water at 6:30 in search of a line sider.  While on the water I was fishing next to Mike Torrregrosa.  We both landed a couple of small snook and continued fishing the deep drop-offs along the shoreline.  A couple casts later Mike’s DOA paddle tail was inhaled by what appeared to be a very nice...

It is a track system made from strong, but light weight 6000 series aluminum. I has a very attractive military grade hard coat anodized finish to protect it from the harsh elements to which it will be exposed .  The GearTrac is attached to the kayak by countersunk screws that are set on 1 ¾” centers running the length of the track on both sides. The GearTrac is offered in 4”, 8”, 12”, and 16“ lengths. Placing the GearTrac on your...
