Kayak Fishing Tournament on a Brand New Lake (Again) // I Like to Lose Money

Here we go again, fishing another local kayak tournament. I'd love to say I figured it out and finally placed, but that's not the case haha... I seem to have figured out a pattern though, and it's that I like to lose money fishing these tournaments. I will say though, each one has me analyzing what I'm doing and hopefully getting better than the last. It's my hope that one day I'll have some trophies and a little bit of money to show for it though. Thanks for stopping by!

    I'll get the hang of this thing called fishing tournaments eventually haha..... Until then, I've got A LOT to learn in the meantime... Speaking of, I'm heading to a big lake tomorrow to put in some practice!

    Tough day man ....that man made lake did not have much to throw at! I agree with you, I would have stayed in that first area you went, but of course hindsight is always 20/20. You'll get em next time!

    I'm glad you make these into videos and I always watch them. I'm finishing the keel guard on my new PDL 106 so I can take it on the maiden voyage tomorrow. First time Kayak Fishing for me. You keep me motivated man, keep grinding!

    Thanks man, I really appreciate that. Good luck and tight lines on the water tomorrow! It's going to be an absolute blast pedaling and standing up! Make sure to lock your drive in before you start pedaling haha... Don't be like me xD

    Great vid, just chalk it up to some days are a grind. I'd would have tried fishing the concrete bridge piers. T-rig, wacky, drop shot, maybe shakeyhead or jig. Tight lines, Cody

    Great advice. One big takeaway from that lake is I gotta reaaaaalllllly slow down because of the type of water and the amount of pressure. Thanks for watching!

    For sure. I learned that real quick haha. Sad that there wasn’t a really nice bite in the far north end. I think that’ll be a crazy good pre-spawn area
