PanFish Portrait Camera Mount by YakAttack

Designed for mounting in front of the paddler, the low profile of this full featured camera mount keeps it out of your way but readily available for trophy pictures or reverse angle video of the big fight.

The pivoting head can be positioned at any angle in the horizontal plane. This creates the perfect scenario for "hero" shots. 

1) Rotate LCD towards you
2) Navigate your camera's menu to set the delay timer
3) Rotate lens towards you and pick up your fish before timer fires
4) Perfect hero shot!

This same process can be used for taking Catch-Photo-Release photos while holding the fish securely to the measuring board and getting your mug in the shot to boot!

The PanFish Portrait™ was designed for a maximum payload of 2 lbs, making it ideal for reverse angle video with "heavier" cameras. 

Jersey Cape Kayak Fishing would like to announce that we have set the date for the 2nd Annual Cape May Kayak Fishing Jamboree for Friday, 10/21/11 through Sunday, 10/23/11. This is a charity event.

Changes are being made to our entire format. In the strictest of terms, this event will no longer be a tournament. We want it to be more of a gathering of friends for the sake of the camaraderie found within this sport and leave the formalities out. For this reason, we have dropped any& all entry fees and have gone with a Jamboree type of format. Dinner, Event T-shirts, and expenses will cost approx $40.00 per person and that will be the only required fee.

Ghostfishing is a term that describes what happens when derelict fishing gear 'continues to fish'

At ECKF we are assisting the NOAA Marine Debris Program with getting the word out. Please spread the word.

Derelict fishing gear, sometimes referred to as "ghost gear," is any discarded, lost, or abandoned, fishing gear in the environment. This gear continues to fish and trap animals, entangle and potentially kill marine life, smother habitat, and act as a hazard to navigation. Derelict fishing gear, such as nets or traps and pots, is one of the main types of debris impacting the marine environment today.

The NOAA Marine Debris Program is working with fishermen to provide a place to dispose of fishing gear free of charge. Through the Fishing for Energy partnership, derelict gear is collected and recycled (e.g., metal) or used to create energy to power homes. In the first three years of this program, over one million pounds of derelict fishing gear was collected. The Fishing for Energy partnership includes NOAA, Covanta Energy Corporation, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and Schnitzer Steel.

Grace Digital Audio - Eco Extreme Waterproof Audio Case

For all of you that have been looking for a kayak sound system. It is here. The Eco Extreme. Both a dry box and a audio amplifying system. Just plug in your MP3 player/radio close the case and turn it on.

Team ECKF Review by CITYOFASH:

This is a great invention. Especially for us. Fully waterproof. The closing lathes are a great design with a push button lock/unlock design.
The way i use it is attatch my Sandisk Sansa to the 1/8" Headset Jack. This way i can use its settings to either listen to preloaded MP3's or FM radio. Sansa doesnt have AM radio. Then i throw my car keys in the dry box and latch it shut. Turning the volume/ power knob on the case powers it on and adjusts volume. Use the carabiner to clip it to my seat strap and get my paddle and drop in.

Must say this has been great while fishing alone passes the time by faster.
