I’m the founder and President of the Minnesota Kayak Fishing Association and an elite kayak bass angler. I’ve been kayak fishing for decades and have over 28 years experience marketing fishing kayaks and accessories. I’ve experienced the growth of kayak fishing nationwide and in the state of Minnesota. I’m the author of many articles, presentations, classes and videos on the topic of kayak fishing for regional and national outdoors magazines and kayak fishing websites.

I built, maintain and expand the MNKFA website. My focus is on having fun kayak fishing. I’ve structured MNKFA to be inclusive to all kayak anglers from beginners to experts. MNKFA has a mix of no cost meetups, social media, as well as elite kayak bass fishing tournaments.

Check out a few of things I’ve created recently for the Minnesota kayak fishing community below.

Webinar with the Minnesota Department Of Natural Resources on kayak fishing

One of the fun projects I was asked to contribute to in 2023 was an outreach program to promote the sport of kayak fishing in MN. It’s all about what you need to know to get started in kayak fishing and more. Minnesota is a great state for kayak fishing, you’ll find out why in this webinar recording. The webinar is a half hour long with question and answer after that. You can watch the webinar below or go the MN DNR YouTube channel.

MNKFA YouTube channel and others

Video is an important medium for businesses. I currently, actively develop video content for 3 kayak fishing businesses including MNKFA. These videos are used across social media, video sharing sites and more. Let me know if you’d like help with your fishing videos.
