Oh Joy, The Kayaker!
“Adrenalin coursed through me as I paddled stealthily to the spot. Closer, I realised they were juvenile tomans. Their parents were no longer looking after them. If they were small fries instead, I at least had the chance to catch a good-size toman for the home freezer.” Arnold Js Loh, A Kayak Fisher
Out of boredom I cast at them. As usual, all 200 over of juvenile tomans tried to eat the lure at once, resulting in a boiling frenzy. One of them inevitably caught the treble hook. I reeled the lure back to free the fish.
Not bad. Over 11 inches long. I sampled fried juvenile toman nearly 10 years ago, out of curiosity
Tronoh Mines Revisited
“The fishing was so good the first time, we decided to revisit this ex-mining lake in Tronoh which we named The Mayan City or simply, T1 . Tronoh, like most ex-mining towns in Malaysia are pockmarked with ex-mining lakes. T1 is one of the largest lakes in the area…each of us has caught so many mayans that we had lost count.” Gerald K, A Kayak Fisher
Kayak & Canoe – A Brief History
“…the indigenous seafaring Austronesian groups rigged their canoes with one or more lateral support floats known as outriggers, which are fastened to one or both sides of the main hull. The outrigger gives greater stability and seaworthiness upon a canoe, enabling the seafarers to cross vast oceans.” Gerald K
Kayak Fishing – A Growing Fishing Sport
“This is where the kayaks have an extreme advantage. They can fish areas that are untouched by other anglers. Back country mud flats, oyster rakes, and salt marshes are all accessible and fishable in a kayak.” Ron Brooks

The Squareback Canoe – Esquif Heron
Source: Eco-Sports Unlimited
Very often I have been asked if I have a boat that is light enough to cartop, able to go upriver or across a big lake with a small outboard or trolling motor, easy to portage from one point to another, and yet efficient enough to paddle when going downriver or moving from one fishing spot to another without the need to fire up the outboard. My answer would have been “No” until now. The boat is the Heron squareback canoe from Esquif, Canada. (more…)
The Mohawk Canoes

Kayak or Canoe? This question is often asked and the answer would depend on where your answer came from. If you think a kayak is better suited for you, then go for a kayak.
Personally, I like canoe for its aesthetic look and the way one paddles it using the single-bladed canoe paddle. The movement, both man and boat simply look so gentle and graceful, particularly the Canadian-style paddling. (more…)
