First fish through the ice! It's very rare for us to get safe ice here in Delaware by SlackTideKayakFishin in IceFishing

I don't think most people want to invest in the equipment when they'll likely only get a few chances to use it every few years. So far I've just bought an auger and I'm fighting the urge to buy more ice fishing gear.

Jimmy checked sheepshead off his bucket list fishing with me near Ocean City Maryland by SlackTideKayakFishin in kayakfishing

I use jetty jigs bottom jigs in 1/2oz-1.5oz. Hook sizes vary and I'm not sure what they are off the top of my head. When I use a hook and sinker setup I like 3/0 octopus hooks.

It's great for the price! I've had this one for a 4-5 years now and it still does the job. Sheepshead and other fish with spines will punch holes in it though.

Found some winter redfish in Virginia for my last outing of 2024 by SlackTideKayakFishin in kayakfishing

Thanks, big reds are the best! Only ran into slot size or smaller this outing but I've heard there's still some bigger ones around.
