Local Hooker....... Rods
A few years back I had the privilege of meeting Bob Jenkins the owner of Local Hooker Rods, a small rod company based out of Cape Cod, Mass. I had yet to fish with a Local Hooker Rod up until this point but I was interested in talking with him about his product. One of the first things I noticed about Bob was his passion for fishing and building a top quality fishing rod at a fair price. It is very hard to compete with the BIG companies like Shimano, Penn, St. Croix, ect... but Bob has taken them all on and has shown that his rods are here to stay. With a Limited Lifetime Warranty and great customer service Bob has put together rods for just about every kind of fishing you can think of, from fishing for bass to tuna there is a Local Hooker Rod for everyone. I got a chance to interview Bob via the net and here is what he had to say!

The Kayak Hand Paddle
Kayak fishing is one of the fastest growing sports in the outdoor sporting and paddle sports markets. With this explosion of growth, came opportunity. Kayak fishermen are beginning to reap the benefits of new concepts and technologies in advancing their sport.
Having said that, kayak anglers and sportsmen are clamoring for new equipment, paddle gear and accessories to stay ahead of their competition.
“It was a fishing comedy on water.” I mused from afar. Jim was in the salt water flats flailing a seven foot kayak paddle. He was trying to hold onto an eight foot fishing pole while chasing a redfish through the mangroves. I thought to myself, “He needs another hand to juggle that kayak paddle and hold his rod.”
Devils River Lures
For those of you who are members in YakSocial, you’ve probably seen the pictures of these crazy looking lures in the photo gallery. What you may not have known is that one lucky winner could actually own one of these beautiful pieces of art.
Paddle Around the Bay
I was flipping through the television channels one night and came across one of those reality show entitled “Long way Round”, staring Ewan McGregor of Star Wars fame. Along with his good friend Charley Boreman, they would ride their motorcycles from London to New York, West to East across Europe, Russia, Mongolia hop across to Alaska, down into Canada, the States into New York. I watched the entire series and was so inspired to do something like that.
ACK From A Stroke Of Luck...
Brother’s Peter and Steve Messana and Chris Hackerd purchased Austin Canoe and Kayak in 2005. The original store was 2,500 sq. ft. and had only one employee. Since then, the men have expanded the Austin store, hired 24 more employees and opened two more locations, one in San Marcos and another in Houston.
With 48 different models of boats and nearly 1,000 accessories, Austin Kayak gives the Kayaker or Kayak Angler some of the best selections in the industry.
ACK attributes their success to “an unwavering customer service and dedication and love of the exploration of the outdoors”. I can personally vouch for this statement; when a recent purchase arrived with a factory defect I emailed ACK’s customer support. Within an hour Kate called me back and after seeing a picture of the defect, had a replacement shipped the same day! It was this level of customer service that made me get in touch with Steve.

A place called Cow Creek.
What is Cow Creek you ask? It's that mythical place you tell a buddy you went when you don’t want him to know where you were.
That’s where we went this past Saturday. With the weather the best its been in a very long time, my friend Dave, Buc and Rik headed out of the treacherous launch that is Cow Creek. Only the brave dare launch from there. Once out on the water, Dave took the lead with a nice redfish and trout caught on a Mirrolure Mirromullet.
VERSA BOARD: STANDUP / SITDOWN PADDLEBOARD
Anglers around the world recognize the advantages of a higher line-of-sight and a dependable watercraft that can access places no other craft can go. Combining design ingenuity and feedback from those anglers, Legacy Paddlesports built a stand-up paddleboard model which possesses all of these advantages. This stand up or sit down paddleboard features an extremely stable hull that offers surprising performance and handling in surf, the open ocean, rivers or lakes. The deck is broad and wide to provide plenty of room for coolers or other fishing gear without restricting standing space. Its unique, retractable spring loaded skeg system provides exceptional tracking while in flatwater or while riding a wave but can be easily retracted when in the shallows. Unlike fiberglass, this rotomolded polyethylene SUP is durable and affordable. Like many of their models, the Versaboard board combines tried-and-true design elements with modern innovation.
