Had a chance to get out today and spend a couple of hours in the kayak on a local lake. Temperature was around 80 degrees with low humidity. The wind gusted occasionally, but this didn’t keep them from biting. I kept the same popper on the whole time. Here are just a few pics. Enjoy!

Calusa Blueway Paddling Festival
While October signals the end of fishing season for some of us in the northeast, one of the largest paddling and kayak fishing events in Florida will be taking place.
The Calusa Blueway Paddling Festival, which runs from October 29 – November 7, 2010 takes place in the Gulf Coast towns of Ft. Myers and Sanibel, located on the southwest coast of Florida.
Festivities include competitive canoe/kayak races, a kayak fishing tournament, paddling clinics and demonstrations, seminars, family activities, archaeological and environmental events, guided tours, and more celebrations along The Great Calusa Blueway.
Sounds like a great alternative to raking leaves, stacking wood, and tuning up the snowblower.
Kayak Safety
As the popularity of kayaking and kayak angling grows, unfortunately so do kayak-related accidents and deaths. The American Canoe Association has a number of instructional materials on its website. The link below will take you to its education page.

Ready To Go
Our friends at Blanco Honky were kind enough to include a pic of the finfollower rig. While not the top-of-the line way-too-expensive vehicle you were probably expecting, this vee-dub with over 100k miles drives over snow, sand, rocks and mud to deliver us to a number of destinations.
