Well… I added another kayak to the X2O Outdoors fleet 😎
After spending some time in the Old Town Topwater 106, I decided to finally make the jump into a pedal drive setup. The Old Town 120 Salty PDL.
This new rig is going to open up a ton of opportunities for longer runs, covering water faster, hands-free fishing, and hopefully some pretty awesome new content for the channel.
The crazy part? A few years ago I had a fully rigged boat… then life changed. Selling it was tough. But fishing has a way of keeping you moving forward, even if the path looks different than you planned.
Honestly, I’m just thankful to still be out there chasing fish and making memories any way I can.
Can’t wait to get this thing rigged up and on the water 🎣🔥
Big things coming for X2O Outdoors.

Some days everything lines up perfectly for smallmouth bass fishing… and this was one of them. When heavy north winds caused a massive wind setup between the lakes, the bridge became the ultimate pinch point. This forced a hard current to flow right against the wind, creating what I call The Feeding Trap—a rare setup where bait and predatory fish stack up perfectly.

These conditions don’t happen often, but when they do… the bite turns completely ON. Honestly, the fish were so fired up I think they would have eaten a bare hook.

Fish Were STACKED in This Feeding Trap Some days everything lines up perfectly for smallmouth bass fishing...

Ice Fishing had been tough… multiple trips with nothing to show for it. So we switched things up and hit a shallow, weedy bay targeting pike.

That’s when everything changed.

I tied on a bait I usually only use in the summer — and the reaction from the pike was instant. Aggressive hits, decent fish, and finally breaking the slump.

But here’s the question…
Was it the bait itself, or the way I had it rigged that made the difference?

Ice Fishing Was DEAD… Until I Tried THIS BAIT Ice Fishing had been tough… multiple trips with nothing to show for it. So we switched things up and hit a shallow, weedy bay targeting pike.That’s when ever...

Last fish of the ice season… and it turned into a PERSONAL BEST!
Couldn’t have ended it any better. What a moment!
