KAYAK
EELING at Kiptopeke
by Kayak Kevin
|
|
"It's
the most wonderful time of the year," is how the
happy Christmas song goes. If you're a fisherman or
more specifically, a kayak fisherman, you will be singing
the song for a different reason. The big striper migration
is coming to the bay and the waters off Kiptopeke, which
are known as the striper capital of the world and the
easiest place for a kayak angler to land a trophy striper.

Christmas
Fish List
byChris Jenkins
With
Christmas right around the corner it goes without
saying that we will all be asked what we would like
for this holiday. Most of us will say we need for
nothing and focus on others wants because that is
what it’s all about. In the past by doing this
I have received countless ties, flannel shirts, and
things I really wish my family had not spent the money
on. In order to derail this train of unwanted booty
I made a stand and suggested items that I knew would
bring great pleasure and happiness for years to come.
The world of fishing is sacred to us but to outsiders
it is myriad of silly lures and excuses as to why
we will be late for dinner. Knowing this the treasures
description must be clear and concise. If you foresee
any room for error you may want to follow my lead
and just place the order yourself and promise to look
surprised on Christmas morning.

The
$3.95 Rockfish Trip Limited Out!
by Jim Baugh
|
The
great thing about our new Go Green Fishing Machine
is that we can now fish in places that our larger
boat could not access. Fishing literally under the
Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel has provided some excellent
early season rockfishing. The other great thing
about this new boat is that even in a down economy,
usually we can afford a fishing trip that cost under
$4 bucks! Let’s see, with three people on board,
average unit cost per person would be $1.23? Guess
so! However folks, as the captain of the Go Green
Fishing Machine, I did not ask for gas money. I
covered the $3.69 in gas myself.
I
did ask my cameraman at the beginning of the day
if he would rather pay the fuel bill, or buy the
cooking oil for frying the fish for dinner. He said,
and I quote, “I will buy the cooking oil for
sure”. Well, he spent more on peanut oil than
I did in gas for the day. Hard to believe, but true!

Johnson of Montross, VA. went fishing with his girlfriend
in a bassboat using a rod holding system called a Fold-N-Troll
and I used 4 Penn 330GT’s and used tandem white bucktails
to catch his first big striper cow at 43” on the
Lower Potomac River around Piney Point. Not bad for a
bass fishermen. |
