Kayak Fishing Trip in the Mountains of South Korea

Here’s a kayak fishing trip report, courtesy of Sungjin Kim, who distributes W fishing kayaks in Korea.

Sungjin Kim and his wife went on a three day trip to the mountains. The trip included paddling, kayaking, stand up paddling, fishing, cooking, visiting local restaurants, trekking, and sight seeing.

Sungjin and his wife took a pair of W kayaks with them. They cooked a real meal on the beach, and after the trip ended, they dined in a restaurant.
Sungjin drove his motorized W outfitted with the 2 hp 4-cycle Honda outboard (it’s the first W fishing kayak that got such a motor!), and towed the second kayak during parts of the trip.

Fishing For Bluegills in Shallow Water, By John Fabina

My Wavewalk allowed me to get into some Bluegills.
A regular boat would have spooked the fish, that’s if a boat would have been able to get to this spot in the first place.
I was able to sneak up in the shallow, weedy, back water areas to locate the Gills.
I kept a few of the nicer ones for a fresh Gill fry.

Catching Stripers in a Motorized, Stan Up Fishing Kayak – Connecticut

Here is Rox Davis’ account of her recent kayak fishing trip:

Epic, That’s what this day was……Epic. :D
I took the W500 out for my first solo Striper fishing on the Connecticut River In Windsor Locks, CT.
My buddy Mike was already on the water, I launched at 12:00 noon.
I took the 1.2hp Gamefisher outboard since I knew I could count on it running well.
My first slam came at 12:25, but the fish came unbuttoned.
I was drifting and casting my top water lure and working it slowly back to the W500, when BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fish on, and it’s a big one………………..ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Off goes the drag, and the sleigh ride began.
It was an awesome Battle, she circled me twice, and shot up river, still towing me ………….. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
I start to tire her, and get her yak side, went to grip the lip with my boga, and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ she wasn’t ready.
Now she is tired, I get her yak side one more time, reach with the bogas ………… and SHE IS MINE!!!!!
You could here me hooting for miles I’m sure.
