While I’ve spent the majority of my life immersed in outdoor activities, my personal journey didn’t initially involve fishing. It wasn’t until I relocated to the picturesque Sand Mountain area, nestled around Lake Guntersville, that my youngest son’s burgeoning interest in fishing ignited a new passion within me. His relentless pursuit of largemouth bass soon introduced me to the world of kayak fishing.

Today, whether I’m chasing after largemouth bass in the vast waters of the Big G, seeking out spotted bass in Smith Lake, targeting crappie on Lake Weiss, or tangling with bull reds in the Gulf of Mexico, you’ll invariably find me comfortably seated in a Hobie kayak, eagerly awaiting the telltale tug on my line.

Yet, what truly enriches my kayak fishing adventures is the joy of sharing this sport with newcomers.
