So everyone is probably wondering what this blog is all about. From the title you know we are not going to cove the instructions on how to fix the carburetor of 1968 Ford Mustang. So, what are we going to talk about? Just as the title says, kayaking, fishing and ways to convert your normal every day kayak into a fishing kayak and to do it on a budget.
Let me start off by telling you a little about my self and why I am writing this blog.
My name is Joe Gabriel. I was born in the Midwestern city of Sioux City Iowa. The Missouri river runs thru Sioux City, and because of that I have gained my love for fishing.
Although I have fished for most of my life, my experience was fishing on the shore and fishing off the docks.
This year my youngest daughter was able to do something amazing for me for Christmas. She purchased me a kayak. .
The Sun Dolphin Aruba 10. (Insert angels Singing here) Now that I have a kayak I am able to take my fishing to hole new level. My new mission was to figure out how to turn my regular kayak into the fishing vessel of my dreams without spending a boatload of cash.
Where does one go to do that? A couple of places. The first and most common place, YouTube.Com, then there is Pentrest.com, and the last place I would frequent, is a web site called Instructables.com.
So basically from Christmas 2014, until April 30th, 2015, I was on a hunt to figure out how to convert my normal kayak into a fishing kayak.
This is where my blog is going to come in. My plan is to show you my journey, both the good and the bad. I also hope to show you some of my interesting discoveries and changes I have made along the way while giving the you the readers a chance to share your thoughts and experiences too.
Here is reason number 2 about why I decided to start this blog.
While looking for ideas and trying to figure out the best way outfit my kayak for fishing I was noticing a few sites and blogs were so bold as to tell people who there was only one way to outfit a kayak. Some would say that you needed fish only from a certain kind of kayak, and no other would do for fishing. There was a point I was wondering if I was even worthy of putting my kayak in the water. I was wondering if I would get made fun of because I don't have a particular kind of kayak?
So it got me thinking. That is good well, if you can afford it. But guess what? I can't. Chances are if you are reading this, you can't either. So let's take what we can Afford and work with it.

Maybe someday we will be able to afford one of the nicer kayaks. But, for today I have the $200 Sun Dolphin Aruba 10, and I should not have to feel any different because of what I paid for it, or because I want to add something into it without spending a ton of money.
Kayaking for the rest of us!
