Hey everyone just wanted to throw out a friendly reminder that the sun is killer out there right now and the reflection from the water does not help at all. Don't leave home without your sunscreen your skin will thank you for it.
On that note I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful summer. There are plenty for fish to catch out there and plenty of water to kayak. So do not get discouraged if you are stuck in the office all day and the only surfing you are getting in on is internet surfing... but hey sometimes we'll take whatever we can get right?
Maybe you can take an afternoon off from work or find some time after work to throw out a fishing line and cruise the water top in your kayak. The days will start getting dark earlier and earlier so take advantage of days we have right now with the day light lasting longer into the evening.
Right around dawn the mosquitoes come out- some joke that the mosquito is the Texas state bird, the size of some of those suckers you can see why.
So don't forget to grab your sunscreen, before grabbing fishing pole and loading up your kayak.
Have a kayak fishing experience and would like to share it? Post it in the comments section for all to read. I'd love to hear what's going on out there in the water.

Kayak paddling- tools for beginners
There are a few tools Essential for being on the water, such as: Life Jacket and a whistle, these items are required by law. (at least in Texas)
But, there are also a few "fun tools" that make being on the water in your kayak even more enjoyable.
One of my favorite items I keep with me at all times in my kayak is my Olympus stylus tough 8010- Digital camera. This camera is amazing. waterproof up to 33ft, freeze and shockproof, in other words nearly indestructible and perfect for being in your kayak.(As A side note, if you are going to buy this camera, you will want to protect your investment with a silicone casing and floating strap, you can purchase both of these items as a combo, running you no more then $15.00)
Another must have for most, is a simple water proof box that you can clip onto something secure in your Kayak and keep things such as a form of identification, cell phone and maybe even a snack. This waterproof sealed box will not cost you more then $10 and it definitely is a must have.
The essentials list for your kayaking enjoyment can also include things as simple as a lightweight Paddle. This may seem like a small thing, but trust me when I tell you, your arms will thank you! When you spend hours on the water every little convenience helps.
You will also need to determine the right kayak for you. The right Kayak varies by person and will make a huge difference in Kayaking being a true enjoyment. We will get more into this in my next blog and explore the varieties of kayaks and why research is well worth your time when it come's to buying your kayak.
