Kayaking

Inspired by The Coastal Kayak Fishing Schools, this high quality instructional video delivers  a wealth of information to guide you into the sport easily and efficiently. It provides complete instructions on everything from gear selection and surf launches to on the water catching and handling of fish.

Video taped on the Sea of Cortez and California's Eastern Pacific, The Kayak Fishing Video is an excellent primer for kayak fishing these areas but is also detailed enough to be useful to kayak anglers everywhere.

Looking for a fly rod holder for your kayak that is removable, leaving only a flush mount plate? Take a look at this new product from Hook 1 Kayak Fishing Gear.

This rod holder does just that. It is removable, leaving only a 1/4" aluminum plate on the deck and the plate is anodized to protect against the harsh elements of salt water. The vertical slot allows fly reels to fit nicely down into the rod holder. It also comes equipped with a Velcro band across the top to secure your rod in place.  The height is 10" with an inside diameter of 1 1/2" and it is made in the USA.   

 

An excellent way to protect kayaks from ultra violet deterioration long after the manufacturer's UV inhibitors blended into the polyethylene dissipate (approx. 1 year). 303 Aerospace Protectant can keep your kayak looking like new indefinitely. 

303 is THE LEADER in UV screening technology and 303 Protectant really is like "SPF 40 Sunscreen ... For Your Stuff."  Regular use of this Protectant can reduce UV caused slow-fade by up to 100%. No other protectant beautifies as intensely, protects as powerfully or lasts as long. 

Camping

Compact and extremely efficient, the Cobb Cooker is a perfect BBQ for kayak fishing expeditions in Baja or just cooking your catch for lunch on a day trip. Invented in Africa to provide an environmentally safe cooking system for third world countries and to limit the amount of out of control fires when trying to cook food, the initial fuel source for the Cobb was actually ‘dry corn on the Cobb’. Hence the name Cobb!

The Cobb can easily be handled on the outside while cooking at more than 400 degrees on the inside while using only 8,9 or 10 regular compressed briquettes. The center fire grid holds the briquettes creating a "moat" that holds 250ml of liquid (water, wine or beer) for cooking vegetables and seasoning things on the grill. TIME International voted Cobb one of the top thirty inventions of 2001.    

It's important to keep your fishing knife sharp. When fishing from a kayak, it's also important to keep things attached so they don't wind up on the bottom of the sea. This knife sharpener will fill both requirements. The skill level is very low, but the results are very high. It weighs an ounce, can be taken anywhere and used by anyone. This little work horse can handle small pocket knives all the way up to axes and large machetes.

The Hunter Honer™ is guaranteed for life, the rods are turnable and even if your dog chews it up accidentally, simply send it back and they'll replace it. Look at it this way, you've done worse things with a twenty dollar bill with nothing to show for it except a headache and a good time.
