Cedros Kayak Fishing- A Journey Worth Taking
Cedros Kayak Fishing Last year I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to fish a few of the Coastal Conservation Association of California kayak tournaments around Southern California. I’ve been a kayak fisherman since the mid 90’s, but have been out of the tournament circuit for a few years. When these popped up, I was all in. The top raffle prize happened to be an all expense paid trip with Cedros Kayak Fishing, and you know what…I won! Kayak fishing at Cedros Island has been a dream of mine for a long, long time. And to hear that I won, I was ecstatic! I’ve known the owner of Cedros…

Savage Gear Suicide Duck at Lake El Salto Mexico
Last year I had the opportunity to get down to Lake El Salto to shoot some Suicide Duck footage with Shea from Stoked On Fishing and FLW and Okuma Pro Todd Kline. This was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. I have been down to the lake several times and it is one of my top bass fishing destinations. It is still pretty rugged, but an experience like no other. First of all, our trip started off great. Flights were on time, food was good, and the ride to the lake was uneventful. Raul picked us up at the Mazatlan airport, and off we went. We were greeted at the…
