Crystal Borkes
Old Town Sportsman PDL 120
Salt water kayak angler from Vancouver Island, Canada. The better half of KC Kayak Fishing, and proud mom of four. I started Kayak Fishing in 2020, and instantly fell in love with the adrenaline rush of chasing big fish on small boats! It's a more intimate feeling that can't be duplicated fishing from "real" boats.
Favorite Technique
My favorite technique has to be vertical jigging big swimbaits for big Lingcod. I feel the most comfortable battling the wind and swells on the West Coast of Vancouver Island.
