Alan Howell Profish Reload Review

Viking Kayaks Profish Reload Review by Alan Howell from North Carolina USA
To get straight to the point, the Viking Profish Reload is simply the finest inshore/offshore fishing kayak available. Ask anyone who owns one. There isn't even a close second when you do the math.

I've been paddling for almost four decades and have researched and tried well over a dozen fishing kayaks in different brands and… more

Kingfish off the Profish Reload

Getting out on the water feels primal. I’m only a year into kayak fishing and with every journey out into the ocean I grow a deeper understanding and a connection to its powerful life force.

Up until recently I hadn’t exclusively fished my local spots for Kingfish using live bait. Over the summer I pulled one into the yak from the… more
