http://www.manpoweredfishing.com/2015/06/a-textbook-post-spawn-beatdown.html

Monday, June 15, 2015. A Textbook Post Spawn Beatdown. It was mid-morning and I found myself with a few hours of free time, a rarity these days. It was a no brainer - I loaded up and headed for the water. But in the back of my mind, I knew that this time of year can be tricky in New England. My biggest chain pickerel of the day. The 2nd biggest bass of the day - caught on a Berkley Jerk Shad. Chain pickerel are rapidly earning a special place in my heart. The big bass for the day at 19.25". To other soft...

Friday, May 29, 2015. The ATAK has Landed - a Preliminary Review and First Trips. The hype machine is running full blast in the kayak fishing industry these days. Unfortunately, not every product lives up to the billing. It is one reason I encourage kayak anglers to try before they buy, no matter what type of product. One of the most hyped kayaks of the past year has been the Wilderness Systems ATAK 140. The Advanced Tactical Angling Kayak (ATAK) 140. Preliminary ATAK 140 Review:. The western Mass giant.

MAN POWERED FISHING: December 2014

http://www.manpoweredfishing.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, December 16, 2014. Unfortunatley, MK has repeatedly failed to deliver on promises, including not honoring contracts and giving the team no support in any way shape or form. The list of unethical practices goes on, many of which are known throughout the kayak fishing community, so they will not be listed here. Sadly, the Malibu Kayaks I joined in 2012 is not the MK of today. Now, it is on to bigger and better things. Tight lines! Posted by Drew Haerer. Monday, December 15, 2014. We are hoping to ...

Wednesday, April 29, 2015. The Ice has Melted - My First trip of 2015! Winter was beautiful, but way too long! My first fish of the year - slimed! The big fish of the day and the DD X-rap it ate! They are difficult to see, but the white caps were rolling on the main lake. I shuttered a bit as I watched white caps rolling across the 55 acre lake. I snapped a quick pic and began paddling. The BB Angler Pro. Was my savior, as waves crashed over the front of my Ride 115. Posted by Drew Haerer. Largemouth, cr...

Saturday, February 28, 2015. A Video Intro to Medium Cranking. Yesterday I put together a short video that talks about a subject that I think gets ignored a lot - cranking medium depths. It is no secret that I love to crank, and I could ramble on about it for hours. But, hopefully this video gives you an idea or two to put to use this spring, and beyond. Tight lines! Posted by Drew Haerer. Thursday, February 19, 2015. Paddling into the fog. Look at that sweet paddle! Until next time, tight lines! If we a...

http://www.manpoweredfishing.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Custom Rod Wars - Are They Worth It? One of my favorite custom rods - a 7'6" white-out cranker. If it weren't for endorsements, every tour pro would have a deck covered with them. What you don't see is what they fish with on their off-days." That pretty much sealed the deal for me. While acting as president for the Duke Fishing Team. Really took off. Now, I own a stable of CCR custom rods that I absolutely love, each made exactly the way I want.

MAN POWERED FISHING: July 2014

http://www.manpoweredfishing.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Who Says There Aren't Big Bass Up North? This weekend Mary May and her gang of bridesmaids headed to Vermont to celebrate the end of her life as a single. That meant that the dogs and I were home alone. That meant I was going fishing. It started slow, but it ended with a bang. I wrote about the importance of scouting bodies of water in the day time before embarking on night fishing trips. Sometimes, your excitement gets the best of you. Lesson re-learned. A giant inhaled the fro...
