  Kayak Cafe Ep. 87 | Fishing Saved Her—Then Kayak Fishing Changed Everything

  Sep 8, 20261h 7mS2

  What happens when a lifelong love of fishing becomes more than a hobby—and ultimately becomes a lifeline?Tonight on The Kayak Cafe, we meet a Michigan angler whose fishing journey began beside her father at just five years old. Years later, salmon fishing reignited that childhood spark and gave her a renewed love for rivers, adventure, and the outdoors. During one of the most difficult chapters of her life, fishing became an important part of finding herself, rebuilding, and moving forward. In her own words, fishing saved her.Her entrance into kayak fishing was just as unexpected. After a women’s bass tournament was canceled, a friend invited her to compete in a Bassmaster Kayak Series event—even though her only previous experience involved a recreational inflatable kayak. She expected it to be a disaster. Instead, it became one of the best decisions she ever made.Within three weeks, a new kayak was delivered to her front door.We’ll discuss her transition from competitive co-angler and boatquise fishing to kayak tournaments, the dramatic differences between the two communities, and the incredible welcome she received from Michigan’s kayak anglers. She’ll also share what she has learned as a woman entering the kayak tournament scene, her growing passion for creating fishing content, and where she hopes this new journey will take her.This is an honest conversation about resilience, community, competitive fishing, and discovering an entirely new life on the water.Join us live on The Kayak Cafe and become part of the conversation! www.USAKFM.com

  Kayak Cafe Ep. 85 | Kayak Bass Chick: Fishing, Photography & Facing the Critics

  Aug 25, 20261h 3mS2

  We're sitting down with Mandie Adams, better known as Kayak Bass Chick, for a conversation that goes well beyond catching fish.Mandie is a kayak angler, content creator, and professional photographer who isn't afraid to show the good, the bad, and the sometimes frustrating reality of learning and competing from a kayak. Her shorts have documented everything from successful days on the water to the struggles that most anglers would probably rather leave on the cutting-room floor.We'll talk about her journey into kayak fishing, tournament fishing, creating content, and how her background as a professional photographer influences the way she captures and tells stories from the water.We're also going to get into one of her videos that generated plenty of conversation: practicing deep-water kayak reentry. While many people recognized the importance of actually practicing what to do when things go wrong, others weren't shy about criticizing her technique, experience, and safety equipment.How do you handle criticism when you're learning in front of thousands of people? Where is the line between legitimate safety advice and social-media pile-ons? And should more kayak anglers actually be practicing capsizing and reentry instead of simply assuming they'll know what to do when it happens?We'll also talk fishing, kayaks, gear, tournaments, photography, social media, being a woman in the kayak fishing community, and plenty more.This should be a fun one — and probably a little unfiltered. www.USAKFM.com
