Kayak fishing rivers can be dangerous. (Scary Moment)
Kayak fishing in rivers is not for beginners. Strong current and underwater obstructions make fast-flowing rivers something you should work up to, not necessarily dive right into. Always wear a life jacket and never try anything that makes you nervous or uncomfortable, because if you aren't sure if it's safe, it's probably not safe. Good luck fishing out there, and keep common sense at the front of your mind!

Late in season, I stumbled out of my kayak at the launch. I couldn't believe the shivers I got. Couldn't believe this old Boy Scout was unprepared with a change of clothes. Fortunately, the truck warmed up fast & I was close to home. Next trip I had dry clothes in my front storage compartment....just in case.

Did you save the bait? Hahahaha I was waiting for him clinging to a snag in the video, you missed it hogging the camera. LOL I lost a ultra light rod earlier this year that wasn't tied down out of the shallow kayak holder and knocked it out, don't use them! I have lanyards for everything but do I use them.... nope. hahaha I had 2 big takedowns last night but I think they were pike or something because the one was on a chub and the other on a green sunfish below the dam and it was one slam clicker zinging on both. I want to see the rest of this night in the next video. BTW there is some current in that river like the Wapsi.

One reason I've never sat in a kayak-canoe yes but not a kayak. Actually these last 2 springs I spent time shopping them, than rethought. That would of been all saltwater usage until lately. Now that I also live on your favorite Florida river, if I had one I'd be flipping it there too-most likely. Lot of entire trees in this area of the river, some unknown to be there until the river lowered 5 feet in the last 4 weeks. Glad he was safe-and didn't lose the bait!
