Fishing Sports Videos

Only in the remote jungles of the Amazon could you find a gratuitous bounty of fish jumping in your boat. The fish, instinctively, are attracted to light through their predatory nature. Apparently, these men were trekking through the river at night and inadvertently caused this mayhem. As seen from the video, these fish practically jumped right in the boat until massive amounts of fish were accumulated. They were able to save most of the fish and provided a local tribe with a significant gift. Obviously, I would have a problem with random acts of waste and thankfully it’s not the case with this video.

Phytoplankton are the primary producers of the oceans; as photosynthetic organisms, they restrict themselves to surface waters where enough sunlight penetrates for them to do their photosynthetic phenomenon. Many zooplankters (copepods, many other crustaceans, larvae of various invertebrates and fish) feed directly on phytoplankton. However, feeding at the surface during the day would make these planktivores susceptible to their predators, so they (the planktivores) stay during the daylight hours in deeper waters and navigate up to consume the phytoplankton under the cover of the nighttime darkness. Of course, the predators (fish, larger invertebrates such as chaetognaths, crustaceans, and squid) follow their prey to the surface. An orgy of ferocious feeding occurs every night, and towards dawn the survivors return to deeper waters and the cycle repeats itself.

From the video, it is apparent that the fish move into lights to catch their prey. Fish are visual predators, and any additional light would help them locate their prey. Squids, as well, are visual predators, highly intelligent (probably more so than fish) and often flock to concentrated light to build an offensive campaign. Other predators, such as chaetognaths, don’t use this sensation to hunt, but often utilizes phenomenal sensory systems to locate and ultimately kill their prey. however they traverse the water column, at night, in search of their next pray.

Well apparently fresh water fish work the same way…..

Pretty cool video of sportfishing on a fishing kayak. You really have to know where everything is on the kayak to successfully land a nice sized fish. I know for sure I would be dropping poles, lures, and other tackle inadvertently to Davy Jones locker. Nice camera mounting job.


The non-traditional “sit on top” setup of  a kayak is a perfect and deadly platform to conduct fishing.  These kayaks are flatter, more seaworthy, and extremely accommodating for sportfishing.   A plethora of manufacturers and models of “sit on tops” significantly increase the attraction.  They won’t break the bank and easily “tricked” out to an angler’s specifications.  These fishing kayaks are extremely durable and withstand the bumps and grinds of everyday use.  Plus you will save money and gas and traverse into fisheries unexplored by gas powered crafts.

Drifting in a couple feet of water is possible in many kayaks,  which translates into fishing the shallow grounds and an increased potential fishing area.  Often, bass and lake trout will sun  these shallows. Without a fishing kayak, these trout and bass will never make it to your hook.

Kayaks are stealthy effective fishing platforms. You definitely have the feel good factor when you fish from one of these environmental friendly fishing kayaks.
