Who Likes Bread And Butter?

Yes, I love exotic travel, and yes I love the catching elusive trophy species, and yes I still want to go bigger, harder and faster. But, really, most of my fishing really is somewhat pedestrian. It’s just part of my life to get out on the ocean, get some exercise, relax, and catch a few fish for dinner. If I’m lucky, I might even catch enough to share with the next-door-neighbor. That’s why I started kayak fishing, to get out at the spot at the end of the street, catch some dinner, have some fun and decompress at the same time. Call it “Bread and Butter” fishing. Nothing fancy. Just catching what I fish for most often and with the greatest chance of success.

Down South, Down Under

When Australia is looked at from an outside angler’s perspective, most think of the northern region, where warm tropical waters host fishing similar to the rest of the Asia-Pacific region. These warmer waters host species such as marlin, sailfish and Spanish or “King” mackerel- the "usual suspects" of sport fishing pelagics. But, warmer waters only account for the top third of our nation. The bottom third has cooler waters and host completely different species of fish, whilst in the middle is a mix of the two. Little is published overseas about the quality fishing in cooler water down south down under.

Texas Means Redfish!

Whether you call them redfish, red drum, or just “reds” Texas kayak fisherman know the best pull in the bays is going to be behind the muscle of a redfish tethered to the other end of your fishing line.
