Over the long winter I was trying to come up with an outrigger system to make for my fishing kayak, I had tried a couple of store bought systems and I never really thought these systems worked very well, especially for the money that they cost. I came up with the idea of using Ram Tube rod holders as the foundation of the System, the beauty of the system is that it can rotate 360 degrees, this makes it easily adaptable for any kayak very and easy to adjust on the water. The ball system is very strong and when tightened you can lift your kayak off the ground with the tube at 90 degrees. You will also have to ruff the ball up a little to make it grab better, I did this with a file.

This Saturday 4/4/08, there is a family fishing festival at Belmont Lake State Park sponsored by the DEC, OPRHP and I Fish NY. It starts at 10:00 and they are having fishing clinics, games, balloon bouncers and contestants. This is a very kid friendly event. The KFA-NY will be at this event, we will have a booth set up with information about our club and we will be volunteering with the kids cutting up bait, untangling lines and general fishing instruction so come on down and stop buy our booth and say hi. For more information on this event visit www.ifishnewyork.org

Many people considering taking up kayaking are put off by having the mistaken belief that it is an elitist sport and they would not be any good at it.

MIKE LEGGETT: OUTDOORS

BURNET COUNTY — Unmistakable big bass splashes banged in ricochets off sheer granite walls that ringed the 10-acre gravel pit 30 feet high all round. All directions at once.

Being neither bat nor submarine, and thus unschooled in the subtleties of echo location, I couldn't exactly tell where Trey Carpenter was floating and fighting a chunky largemouth bass. A self-satisfied "Ha, hah," lay low across the water, though, and I poked the nose of my ocean kayak through a slit in half-submerged willows and spied Carpenter landing a fat, spawning fish.
