My New Home - Clue #1

As most of my regular followers know, I am completing a move that will allow me to enjoy more opportunities for kayaking. So, now that I am getting settled in, it's time to reveal the new home of The Kayak Sportsman...

OK...not so fast. It's no fun to just tell you (at least no fun for me). I want to see if you can figure it out, or at least make a good guess, based on some clues. So, over the next few days I will be providing clues on both the blog and Twitter feed. Feel free to submit your guesses as comments to the blog, replies to one of my tweets, or via email to kayaksportsman@gmail.com.

The first clue is simply the picture above. Something about that picture should be VERY helpful in narrowing down the location. Don't look or think too much...it's that obvious.

Good Luck, and Good Paddling

Kayak Fishing - The Three Golden Rules


Here is a nice little video clip from one the worlds best authorities on Kayak Fishing, Jim Sammons. For those of you just getting started, or thinking of getting started with kayak fishing, these three rules are good ones to take to heart.

New Twitter Hashtag

Just a quick FYI...

Beginning today, in the Kayak Sportsman Twitter feed, I will now begin using the hashtag: #KayakSportsman in my posts (it works both with the K and S capitalized or if typed in all lowercase, like this: #kayaksportsman).

I will also include hashtags like #kayak, #kayaking, #kayakfishing, etc. when applicable. This should make the tweets easier to find and follow.

The Kayak Sportsman Lives!

Many of my blog and Twitter followers have been writing and wondering...

"Where have you gone?" and "Are you coming back?"

Well, let me give you some background information. I grew up in a warm and sunny place that was minutes away from the ocean. It was there that I developed my love for kayaking, and all of the great things you can do from a kayak (touring, fishing, diving and camping are my personal favorites). I also have a "real" job, that eventually took me away from that warm, sunny place, and made my kayaking adventures fewer and farther between. As a way to keep my love and interest in kayaking alive in between adventures, I started this blog.

Several months ago I was presented with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I found a way to make my "real" job even better, and to make it located in another warm and sunny place that is minutes away from the ocean. So I am currently finishing the relocation to my new home, and what promises to be an amazing place for the Kayak Sportsman to have many new adventures, and post lots of new stuff on this blog!

Stay tuned...there is so much more to come, very soon...
