Rather than post up a new thread every time there is a new article on KFM, we decided to create one thread here and will just post to it only. If a significant discussion arises out of a particular post, we may split it out.
We pushed out the latest issue of KFM yesterday. Check it out!
http://www.kayakfishingmagazine.net/home/recent-issues/archive/view/listid-3-main/mailid-37-kayak-fishing-magazine-fall-striper-issue.html (http://www.kayakfishingmagazine.net/home/recent-issues/archive/view/listid-3-main/mailid-37-kayak-fishing-magazine-fall-striper-issue.html)
BTW, we also recently moved to a new email service. If you didn't receive your copy of the issue, check your spam box. You can add info@kayakfishingmagazine.net to your contacts in order to prevent it from going to your spam box in the future.
Thanks.

KFM also features an extensive guide to fishing kayaks. The newest models will soon be joining the ranks. User reviews are the driving feature, and editorial scribbling will also float in from time to time. It can be found here:
http://www.kayakfishingmagazine.net/component/jreviews/reviews/fishing-kayaks-guide_s55/ (http://www.kayakfishingmagazine.net/component/jreviews/reviews/fishing-kayaks-guide_s55/)
KFM staff/editorial reviews will soon appear for 2013 offerings from Wilderness Systems, Malibu, RTM, Hurricane, and others. I posted some early thoughts on the Jackson Cuda 12, as well.
http://www.kayakfishingmagazine.net/component/content/article/312-jackson-kayak/1504-jackson-kayak-cuda-12.html (http://www.kayakfishingmagazine.net/component/content/article/312-jackson-kayak/1504-jackson-kayak-cuda-12.html)
If you own one of the already posted models, it's a free and easy process to register and thus be able to scrawl your opinions in Review Town.

Couldn't find an actual release date on the website; it just says fall 2012...isn't that NOW? Been wanting the slip disks since someone here showed them off a while back...and that head track adapter looks slick.

Net-nanny at work blocks it. Can't figure out why, but it does.

Yeah, we had some hacker issues this summer. It's really easy to get on a blacklist, it takes some time to get off of one. :'(

I assume you guys have a dedicated IP address? Also, if you are on a shared server, if there are spamming/blacklisted sites on the same server as you sometimes you'll get blacklisted as well.

Dedicated server with a dedicated IP address.
I just did a quick check. Google, Trend Micro, Norton, all have the site listed as clean. As do all the "clearinghouse" blacklists I normally use. I'm not sure what underlying database NOD32 or Net Nanny uses. Do you guys know off hand? I'll do a little more research. When's the last time you update your antivirus db's?

I used Net Nanny as a generic term for the site blocking they do here at work. I have no idea what the actual software is. Nor do I know, or have any say in, the updating schedules.

When's the last time you update your antivirus db's?
Daily. I have two websites that attract unwanted bots and spam, NOD32 does the best job for me, pretty much tried all the other A/V programs out there.

"Best Available Science", it's an often used buzzword in fisheries affairs these days. But things are not often as they seem. Check the "facts" and get involved. The kayak fishing community at NorthWestKayakAnglers.com did just that, and the results were surprising.
I used the recent 4B fight as the discussion point. >:D

Read the article earlier this morning, nodding my head in agreement throughout. We expect those engaged in the regulatory processes to rely on sound science, at our peril. Sometimes the data are not what they appear. Sometimes the data are phony. Back to the old adage: question authority.

The scary part is that this is nothing new. I've experienced this in many ways.
1) Quoting "science" that hasn't been published in a peer reviewed medium. Should that qualify as science?
2) Quoting "science" that is simulation based and incomplete at that. For instance, not exploring all possible "states of space", rather focusing on one or two states that are based on a contrived set of assumption with the goal of support a singular argument.
3) Quoting "science" that is out of context.
4) Completely ignoring competing science.
5) And on and on and on ....

Great write up, Allen. Have there been other Groups like ours doing similar things?
Love the subtle call to action at the end, too.

I think it's important to point out that WDFW's studies are not the "bad science" here. Rather, the special interest group, World Fish Conservancy, however is guilty of "bad science" by misrepresenting the data in a press release. While I think this distinction is for the most part clear in the article, throwing out terms like "bad science" and "bad data" calls into question an otherwise valid survey/study which is unwarranted.

That data hadn't even been reviewed and released yet. So yes, I consider it bad science/data. Add to the fact that it was used way out of context. But I get what you're saying. You should have seen drafts 1 and 2 of the article. I had to work hard to not come off sounding like a cranky old man. I mean shit, the Jade himself was the one pushing the hardest for to revise. That's got to tell you something.

That certainly makes it easy for me. Allen, any idea what pound weight he has on there? I didn't see it in the article. I picked up a 12# pyramid for my Coosa a little while back.

Looks like the rig that kykfshr runs in the coastal streams.

The gear track seems like overkill though. You could just mount the scotty base directly to the hull and it would still be removable with a useable handle.

Big shakeup in the kayak fishing world.

That was fun to keep quiet about. Jackson has been serious about putting together a better West Coast kayak and Jim Sammons will definitely be helpful in that department.
-
Wow. Wonder what will happen with all those OKs he has? Big news for sure, but OK has been kind of flat the laast few years. Maybe Johnson Outdoors needs an internal shakeup?
BTW, Issac,RE: Green Tackle, Do you make any of the lead free weights in saltwater sizes?
-
The kayak fishing world really REALLY needs some sleeker, faster, better handling models. I like the style of the Stealth and Kazkazi's but they are pretty hard to find and are expensive.
I hope Jim Sammons will steer Jackson Kayak to make a model or two in that direction, enough of the barges...

Hopefully they will put a huge heavy seat way up high and continue to overlook the need for secondary stability.....
I wasn't too impressed with their first attempt at an open ocean boat.

Speaking of the above-mentioned Facebook...
We just posted a teaser pic of the new Wildy boat. So dark, handsome, and mysterious. With regard to the boat's design and niche, we want to know what people are predicting. Facebook offers a nice arena for said discussion. Head on over, toss us a like, and weigh in with your thoughts.

The article on the mother ship trip was a great read Allen. I was pulling for Pat the entire time when he hooked up on that special Rapala.
My first time in the salt (with Lingbanger) was very similar, an almost 2 hour fight with a mystery monster on a heavy bass rod and 15lb braid low profile bait faster. My experience ended quite differently though, :(
That brought back some fun memories.
What was the deal with the yellowtail? Sounds like they were there, just lock jawed?

It's just a tad early on the yellowtail. The pods really start coming though in a few weeks. There are some homeguards that stick around all year, but not a whole lot of them.

Are swim baits or buzz bombs the preferred method or are you guys trolling with bait for them?

-Allen

Live bait is my preferred method. I usually soak a live bait if I have it, while yoyo-ing an iron. If you see them up top, tossing surface irons works too, and is really fun way to hook up.
-Allen
-
BTW, the story I didn't tell on KFM was my day out at La Jolla on the Friday morning before the trip.
It was a humbling experience. Bait was easy to make just past the closure buoys. A mix of greenbacks, spanish, and large dines. Worked our way out to the spot. The area was loaded with bait (spanish), but no one was seeing any yellowtail. Bushy had a good take, but no love on the hookset. I was harassed by the sea lions. Slowly one by one the PB's started leaving as well as the few kayaks that were out there. I saw some boils in close to the kelp, and decided WTF, nothing else is going on. Got to the area for nothing. I convinced myself they were calicos, too small to take the large macks we were offereing. Fishkraft decided to go in and gives me remaining bait as I was on my last mack. No sooner did he leave and I hooked up on a runner. It made a beeline to the kelp and popped off in 30 seconds. :'( While I was reeling on my line, my other rod goes off, right into the kelp. >:( Tried to work it free, but no bueno. Got my hook back, pinned a bait back on it and sent it back down. Seconds later and it was on a run. Fuck! Kelped again. >:( >:( I could feel the fish still on, so spent some time trying to work it free. Eventually, I stopped feeling the fish and ended up breaking off the line. :'( >:( :'(
The best part of the day was my surf in. I caught a nice wave and started picking up speed. Perhaps a little too much speed as my bow started perling. Dug the brace in and side surfed the rest of the way in. Now that was fun!

We must be getting legit; we're running a contest! You know that wet hunk of plastic under your butt? Your trusty steed? The pedal/paddle-powered bundle of love that takes you to and from your beloved fishing grounds? Love it or loath it, you should write a review of it. And add it to KFM's growing database of kayak reviews. Got some obscure craft that's not in said database? Get in touch with polepole or myself; we'll get it in there. Anyway, if you add a review by the end of July, you'll be entered to win a sweet new PFD. Details below:

I spent the summer testing out Backwater Paddle Company's Assault Hand Paddle. I grew quite fond of the little war club. I think a few of you have also spent time with said paddle. It'd be great if you headed over to KFM, signed up, and shared your own reviews.
