We’re excited to hook up with local kayak fishing and fly fishing pro, Greg Bowdish (www.kayak-fish-florida.com), and to be staying at the Sun and Moon Inn—one of the coolest fishing lodges around (www.sunandmoon.net). It’s also the only kayak fishing lodge in the area. The Sun and Moon Inn is run by Curt Peer—one of the nicest guys you’ve ever met. The Inn sits on the water right at the mouth of an amazing mangrove maze, but also has immediate access to endless flats and world class Redfish, Snook, and Tarpon fishing. |

| FRESHWATER FISHING ON THE OTTAWA RIVER The majority of kayak anglers have had their fishing impacted greatly by their discovery of the kayak, but freshwater anglers Brendan Mark and Ken Whiting are dedicated kayak anglers whose kayaking has been transformed by their discovery of fishing. In fact, both Brendan and Ken are World Champion whitewater kayakers. Their expert kayaking skills lets them challenge some of the largest whitewater in the world and get to fishing holes that have likely never seen a lure before. |

| MUSKIE HUNTING IN ONTARIO Considered by many to be the meanest freshwater fish on the planet, it was an easy decision to target Muskie for the film. We hooked up with Muskie hunter extraordinaire, Jamie Pistilli (www.thefishingconsultant.com) to get the job done. Jamie has caught more Muskie from a kayak than anyone, and probably still enjoys doing it more than anyone too. |
