Hey. You. Need a little help…

I’m taking a short break from writing about the business of the IceMule Cooler to spend a few minutes on the fun part of owning a cooler company.

If you’ve been keeping up, you know that we’re making some serious traction in the Kayak Fishing market.  I’m interested in other sports markets as well, of course, including Sailing, Surfing, Hiking, all team sports, tailgating and just sitting around with a cooler on a summer night watching the lightning bugs (I’m highly proficient in this sport).  In fact, I’m writing a guest blog for a friend’s sailing blog later this week – (check out the blog – it’s awesome: http://www.messingaboutinboats.com).

Sorry…got distracted.  Back to Kayak Fishing.  As I talk to more folks involved in this sport, the more impressed I am.  Everyone I’m meeting as I make sponsorship deals – that’s 100% – are nice, helpful, positive people who really believe in our product and are anxious to help me.  It is unreal.  For a guy who spends his days as a marketing exec for a bank and who is always getting bombarded by different agendas, encountering this kind of community is almost like waking up in the middle of a crowd of those blue folks from Avatar.

Here’s the issue though. I am a fisherman (mainly trout on a fly line the last few years, plus a bit of deep sea).  And, when I get a chance, I kayak in and around the St John’s in St Augustine.  But I have never been kayak fishing.  And I’m dying to dive right in.  I’ve read so much about it, talked so much about it, and thought so much about it that I’m now on a mission.

But I need some gear & I need some gear recommendations!  I read a great article about getting started in kayak fishing on kayakfishingmagazine.net and that has helped me think through my choices … but I still need some help.

Let’s start with the boat.  Here is what I can tell you…

  • I’m 5′10″ 175 lbs – so I guess I can use most any kayak (true?)
  • I’m in reasonably good shape (for a fatass banker)
  • I have done lots of kayaking (white water yes, but mainly flat water) but cannot seem to roll so I’m liking the idea of a sit-on-top
  • I like the idea of being able to stand for fly fishing but would rather start spin casting – so I’m thinking somewhat stable but not a barge…

Next – the rod and reel

  • As I said above – I’m thinking spin or bait casting but have no idea what gear / brands to consider
  • I expect to fish both the waters around Charlotte (Catawba) and St Augustine (St Johns)

I know this isn’t much to go on but I’d love to get some opinions and advice!

Thanks & Stay cool,

James
