Winter SUP Fishing, Big Eastern Shore Reds, Urban Whitewater and Tuff Stuff
Today, we have some winter SUP fishing with Drew Camp and some urban whitewater with Isaac Hull, plus plenty of other great content as well. Settle in and get psyched. This is the Friday's Finds, where we seek to highlight some of the paddlers who call Virginia home. PaddleVa is about all of us. While some of the stuff shared in these posts will come from outside our waters, Virginia will always be the primary focus.
First up:
Drew Camp, of Jackson Kayak / Werner Paddles/ Kokatat/ Powerteam Lures, gives a great report on downsizing your bait for winter bass. Plus he fishes off a SUP, in February! Check the link below the photo for the full report.

Second Up:
Here is a cool short video of some guys stand up paddle-boarding the newly re-hydrated Colorado River delta all the way to the sea. It's a pretty stellar little gem.

Last but not least, a bunch of our guys went paddling on the James River last weekend and used some of the new paddles from Adventure Technology. Here is a shot they took of the new Digital Camo Oracle. Looks good and word from the guys is it performs great as well.
