Kayak Fishing Around Big Surf?



Today I'm loading up and preparing for the first video shoot for my upcoming DVD, "The Ultimate Guide to Kayak Fishing".



We were hoping for quiet waters and a chance to show the tranquil side of catching big stripers in Narragansett Bay.



More than likely it will turn out to be another day of high surf and winds approaching 30 kts. When will this ever stop? Historically speaking this is suppose to be the calmest period of weather of the year, both the warmest and the least amount of wind...so much for history. This year in RI we proved that history is always being rewritten; we logged in the warmest and dryest winter in history, followed by the wettest May and June in history.



Tomorrow might go from a storyboard that, in a perfect world, called for flat seas and an easy shoot, to crashing waves and exploding white water. If we can pull it off it sure will look dramatic. Maybe there will be some more history written...hopefully the largest kayak caught stripers ever filmed. I'll keep you posted.
