All American Kayak Series Tournament on Lake Okoboji - Part 1 - PRACTICE May 2022
My first every trip to the Great Lakes of Iowa which includes Lake Okoboji and Spirit Lake among others was really fun. I signed up for the AAKS tourney in May of 2022 and did not really know what to expect. I was picturing a sandy bottom lake with perhaps sparse grass, but it turned out to be very grassy indeed. With my #oldtownkayak I was able to fish and steer all day long everyday and it was a blast. This video is a synopsis of my only day of practice on #okoboji but it was a heck of a day. I had so much fun that I caught way too many fish. I should have left those fish for the tournament, but I just couldn't resist. I will be releasing the tournament day footage very soon. I hope you enjoy it. Below are some of the baits and other items I used:

I love fishing a #chatterbait or bladed vibrating jig! One of my favorite #BladedJigs is the Thunder Cricket from Strike King and I have really been pleased that on a regular basis it seems that I have been getting them in my Monsterbass Boxes. In May, I got the Thunder Cricket in the Multi-Species box. I decided to take that lure along with some of the great soft plastic lures that also came in my Monsterbass boxes and took them to the lake. In this video, I share with you how to fish the Thunder Cricket, what equipment (rod, reel, line) to use, and what trailers work well on it. Then I hit the lake and demonstrate just how great this little lure really is. I hope you enjoy and would love to hear your thoughts on the video and also the lures I am using. Thanks for watching! #MONSTERBASSCO #MONSTERBASS

Deep diving crankbaits are large and difficult to store. Bass Mafia makes some clever and unique products. The Deep Cranking Coffin is one of those products. It is an excellent solution, and by far my favorite box for storing those big plugs.

June is one of the best months of the year to catch big bass! The fish have finished spawning and are following the bait fish out to deeper cooler water. Along with the shad spawn, it's hard to find more exciting fishing than the month of June. I have hand selected three of the best lures or baits that will help you catch more fish this month. Although my three may not be perfect for you, they will hopefully give you some ideas on what you should be throwing this time of year. If you want to see another perspective from a great fisherman, be sure to check out my buddy's similar video @Get Ur Fish On

Pre-Rapala Wiggle Wart are hard to find and very expensive. I love them and highly recommend them too, but if your budget is tight, these other crankbaits, may help you get the job done.

If you are serious about your fishing gear, you need a WATERPROOF Fishing Tackle Bag. The EGO Fishing Dry Bag is not only waterproof, it is probably the coolest looking bag on the market. There are three amazing dry bag sizes to choose from. In this video I review the XD-55 Dry Bag which has a whopping 55 liter capacity. Incredible durability, easy entry with a great waterproof zipper design, tons of carry handles and the sick Tactical Kryptek Camo pattern! The EGO Fishing brand is very cool. But in addition to very cool, this EGO Dry Bag is all you need to get on the water and start landing lunkers. They call this "Intelligent Tackle Storage with a Warrior's Attitude" and I couldn't agree more. The bag is intelligent. I love tackle and I love great tackle bags. The Ego bags are really cool and they have everything you need to organize your tackle so you can get to it quickly and catch fish all day. The fabric is one of this strongest in the industry. Whenever I hit the water, I need a solid bag to keep all of my clothing, rain gear, shoes, electronics and all the critical items that absolutely must stay dry. Pair this with one of their awesome fishing tackle box bags and you've got a winning combination that will last the test of time. This bag looks great and is very competitively priced. The craftsmanship and details on this bag are so good, it probably will be the only bag you ever need. Check it out and let me know what you think!.
