After three weeks of 20 to 30 degrees below normal weather and morning temperatures in the teens, i finally got a day i could go fishing.. Find the bait!! it’s as easy as that. if you can find big schools of shad, there will certainly be bass around as they are trying to feed up before they head to their winter time home.. As summer and fall start to fade away, winter becomes our new best friend in the fishing world. winter fishing is a lot different than warm weather fishing because you have to deal with things like extreme cold, ice, snow, and even rain..
Winter is a time to clean the gear off, oil reels and repair gear and the kayak. also to rig the kayak with new gear maybe and adjust it to suit the coming season. yes you may get the odd mild winters day to go out on the kayak to fish, maybe even just to paddle but there’s still a lot to consider prior to going out.. Kayak fishing can be on fire in the cooler months, but failure to dress properly can lead to an uncomfortable day on the water, or worse - much worse! eli takes us through the basics of layering clothing to stay comfortable and safe.. However, winter kayak fishing is not for everyone. if you are exclusively a warm weather kayak angler, we don’t blame you! we just want to make sure you are properly protecting and storing your kayak and accessories during the offseason..
