The Yak Chat by Bearded Dad Fishing

Now that we’re pretty much in the cold weather season for a lot of us northern folks, we either put our kayaks away until spring, or hunker down, deal with the cold and hit the water. However, fishing in the cold is an entire different monster and should be treated with the utmost respect.

In this episode we talk with Chuck Earls, a cold water kayak fishing specialist. He is the content creator behind Fishing with Chuck Earls and the owner and guide of Lake Erie Kayak Fishing. We’re going to be chatting about the do’s and dont's of cold water safety, how to enjoy the cold water bite and what he considers would be “too cold” to go out.

Fatherhood was never easy. In this day and age, it’s probably harder. While we’re not complaining, we do realize parenting, working and life’s overall stresses can weigh us down at time. This is why it’s important to connect into our passions and hobbies.

So how do we make more time to connect into our passions? How do we get out on the water in a meaningfully to disconnect and recharge in a way that benefits those around us? And how do we do it with four young kids? That’s a great question for our guest, Chase Carlock.

Chase Carlock is an avid kayak angler and content creator. His videos on Southwest Indiana Outdoors usually feature his wife and four young children on the water.

It’s easy to get so excited about kayak fishing, landing a big one and hanging with the boys that we neglect our own safety while on the water. There’s a lot more to safety than just a PFD (though that’s step one!).

In this episode we chat with Chad Hoover about what proper kayak safety looks like in terms of gear, best practices and what NOT to do. Tune in live to ask your questions and let us know what are some of your number one safety rules while on the water.
