I’m excited to announce that for 2020, String Theory Angling has teamed up with both Old Town Kayaks and your friendly neighborhood paddle shop, Aquabatics! The AQ Ambassador program has only been a couple weeks in the making but I have been a fan and customer of Aquabatics ever since I started kayak fishing. They carry a ton of quality …

The rest of the dates will slowly roll out over the next couple of months as each events licenses are approved. Last year there were 10 events spread throughout the …
If you like Trout fishing now is the time to get out there! The water temperatures are cooling down and the Trout are spending more time feeding in shallow water. Get out there and catch some fish! Last weekend, I visited a stocked lake I’d never been to because rumor was it held some big Tiger Trout; I was not …
Side Imaging does work on a Kayak! Only after using side imaging on a boat did I realize what I was doing wrong on my kayak. I’ve had my Humminbird Helix SI on the Pescador Pilot for the last two seasons but found the side/down images so grainy and noisy they were basically useless. On my first kayak I used …
I’ve spent more time this summer fishing for walleye than I ever have before. It’s been really fun, and walleye fishing at Pigeon Lake has been on fire. Water clarity is still awesome with barely any algae and the temperature is right around 18 degrees. I’ve visited all the best structure around the lake and every place seemed to produce …

We decided to take our summer vacation a little early this year because life will be pretty busy for my wife and I for the rest of the summer. We packed up our camper …
Aquabatics is having a demo day this Sunday at Riel park, St. Albert! A demo day is how I discovered kayak fishing in the first place. Years ago I went to a MEC demo day called Paddlefest. Until this point I had been fishing from shore or out of a borrowed canoe and went to a demo day to try …
My Perception Pescador Pilot 12.0 is now three years old and to celebrate I would like to share my thoughts on the kayak and give it a bit of a review. Perception introduced the Pescador Pilot 12.0 in July 2016 it has been relatively unchanged since. The Pilot has all the features I wanted when I upgraded to a pedal …
This season marks the third year of owning the Perception Kayaks, Pescador Pilot 12.0. I have been very happy with this boat, it is quick, pedal drives are amazing and it has been easy to own. As far as upkeep goes it has been minimal. There are some things you need to pay attention to every so often but I …
