What I Learned in 2014 Seth Ashworth - 2014 turned out to be quite a wild ride and unfortunately not always a train I wanted to be on. I started off writing this year review as your average blow by blow break down of 2014, but if you are a regular reader to this blog, or follow my movements through my Facebook Athlete page, Instagram and Twitter (which has way more regular updates than here anyway) you will already be well versed in where I have been and so on. A Paddler'S Journey Book Update Bryant Burkhardt - Well, it's been a while since I've said anything about the book .

It was a trip of short duration but it was the launching pad to longer satisfying trips. The Best is yet to Come! Jackson Kayak - My Dad always used to say that life went by in the blink of an eye, one day you are 16 and the next you wake up and you are 60."It will all be over before you know it, so make sure you are having fun. he would say.

Deadly Half Dozen Bass Baits Jackson Kayak - Day in and day out there are baits that have proven to be the best for bass.

Considering seasonality, cover, flexibility and what weather and water conditions you might face maybe your list would look like this. Angler lands record-size giant guitarfish GrindTV On-Water - Dean Reddy recently reeled in a giant guitarfish estimated to weigh 89 kilograms, or 196 pounds, while fishing from shore in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.

Eric Jackson - The 2015 Zen was a dream boat to design with David Knight and the Team. With input from customers, schools, dealers, our staff and management, our team, and of course my family, we didn't have to narrow the input down too much.
