  • Ep. 14 Women On The Water Round Table: Cold Water Edition

    This week's podcast is the first quarterly installment of the Lake Erie Kayak Angler’s “Women on the Water'' series. I’ve compiled 6 ladies from different climates and preferred kayaking and kayak fishing methods to join me for this round table discussion on Cold Water and talk about gear that works as well as important improvements that need to be made to accommodate the Women on the Water.  We’ll be discussing cold water safety and apparel for women kayakers and anglers, and some of the differences they face. Speaking with women from all walks of life and experience, this episode gives us an all inclusive discussion of how to stay safe while on the water, first hand tips and tricks for cold water safety, and answering questions from other kayakers that prompted the entire discussion. This podcast features Angie Lovett who’s our subject matter expert on Cold Water Safety (and the wife of Moulton Avery, the Founder and Director for the National Center for Cold Water Safety) to share her knowledge on how to stay safe, do’s and dont’s and personal experience. Also joining us at the table are Irene Roff/Lake Erie Kayak Angler, Teri Wright - Arizona Kayak Angler, Liz Wyant - Lake Erie Sea Kayaker, Kim Karbon - Lake Erie Sea Kayaker, Carly Akins - Indiana Kayak Angler and guest Co-Host, and Chuck Earls - Host. Stay tuned!

    Five Golden Rules
    For over twenty-five years, paddlers have been told to "wear a wetsuit or drysuit" when paddling on cold water. There's nothing wrong with that advice, but it sure leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Cold water temperatures can vary by 40F (22C) degrees or more. What kind of gear should you get? How can you tell whether it will really keep you warm?
    The 5 Golden Rules of Cold Water Safety are your roadmap through this jungle. While each rule is important in its own right, it's the combination of all five that allows you to build a strong cold water safety net. Click on the links below for detailed information:
    1) Always Wear Your PFD
    2) Always Dress For The Water Temperature
    3) Field-Test Your Gear
    4) Swim-Test Your Gear Every Time You Go Out
    5) Imagine The Worst That Could Happen and Plan For It

  • Ep. 8: Gettin fishy with it with Nate Roman from FishBrain
    In Ep. 8 we talk with Cleveland native Nate Roman from FishBrain: The world's most popular fishing app.
    Nate takes us on a deep dive into the ins and outs of the FishBrain app. He shares with us how the app identifies the best times to fish for your favorite species forecast and area, predicts new spots that should hold fish, and many more awesome features.
    There’s no political BS in this newsfeed, just the fish you love to see and catch!! Share catches and those “not so secret” spots with friends, see what the fish are biting, learn new tactics, and customize your fishing news feed to see only the species and areas you want.
    Get the app 👉 https://join.fishbrain.com/chuck
    (works for both Apple & Android users)
    A message from Nate:
    Fishbrain is the world’s most popular fishing app with currently over 13 million registered anglers. It's a powerful tool for finding new places to fish, and a great way to interact with a community of like-minded anglers. Fishbrain's data-driven fishing maps and fishing forecasts can help you fish smarter your next time out - no matter how you fish or what species you're targeting.
