Kayaks and Paddling Equipment

Ocean Kayak - Ocean Kayak was the first maker of the sit-on-top kayaks and have been committed to kayak anglers since day one. Their new Trident series is acknowledged as one of the most innovative fishing kayaks on the market.

Necky Kayaks - Necky makes some of the finest sit-inside and touring kayaks made. From their famous Chatham series of rough water boats to their new Eliza - a women specific touring boat - Necky is a name that inspires adventure and confidence.

Lendal Paddles - Lendal has been making some of the finest kayaking paddles ever made. The problem? Their tiny factory in Scotland could never turn out enough for Lendal to become known in the U.S. But I have good news for you! They are now being made in the U.S. with the same specs and models and are much easier to get. My favorite is the Kinetic Touring blades on a modified crank shaft. When I am really in the mood to move, however, out come the Nordkapps!

Fishing Tackle

Echo Fly Rods - Designed by casting legend Tim Rajeff, Echo fly rods are not only powerful casting and fish fighting tools, but affordable as well. My personal choice is the Echo 2 saltwater series. They even come with an extra tip!

Airflo Fly Lines - Airflo Fly Lines have been a long time favorite of mine. Unmatched for castability and durability (they are even bug repellent resistant!) they are the perfect choice for the kayak fly angler. Check out their Ridge Lines if you are looking for that maximum distance we need here in the salt!

Kayak Fishing Shops

Silent Sports - A Silent Sport Outfitters in Nokomis, Florida (just south of Sarasota) is one of the most well-stocked and helpful kayak fishing stores in Florida. Hal and Mary have all those hard to find little knick knacks that us kayak anglers are always in need of, not to mention a great selection of rod holders, fish bags, carts, etc all at the best prices around.

Destinations

The Sun & Moon Inn - This is one place that rarely needs an introduction. The Sun & Moon Inn in Matlacha, FL is the premier kayak fishing destination in Florida. The inn is not only close to some of the best backcountry kayak fishing in the state, but also a short paddle from numerous bars and restaurants, making it the ideal weekend getaway. Featured in "Kayak Fishing GAME ON", "The Dollarwise Fly", and many other fishing shows and publications, this is one of those "you gotta go" places. Say hello to Curt!

Not only will you paddle faster, but learn how to safely use your kayak to it's full potential and have much more confidence while out on the water.
