KC KAYAK FISHING

K is for Kyle and C is for Crystal, and we are a husband and wife team of Salt Water Kayak Anglers, from Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Our journey into kayak fishing happened a bit by accident, we were in the market for a boat, until one day we stumbled across a video on YouTube of a person landing a Marlin…FROM A KAYAK! Instantly we both had goosebumps, and knew we had found our sport.  So we dove head first into the world of Kayak Fishing and haven’t looked back.  The feeling we get from fighting a fish, so close to the water, in such a primitive way, is a feeling not easily duplicated.

Fast forward a couple years and we’ve fallen more in love with this incredible sport, so we’ve decided to share our passion with the world!   Filming each one of our fishing adventures for our YouTube channel and Instagram account.

Filming gives us the chance to not only share our adventures with family and friends, as well as our four children.  But show people a different form of fishing that has forever changed our lives.

Meet Ben, a lifelong fishing addict.

With three fishing goals for 2024, it’s set to be an exciting year on the water.

An ex-pat, Ben grew up in Perth, Western Australia, before moving to Canada to sample the mountain life. After a season in Whistler, Ben ventured to the West Coast to see Tofino and visit a long-time friend. Seeing the pristine waters of Tofino, he decided it was a place he would like to call home, and has now been a resident for over ten years. Being a Red Seal carpenter, Ben was also attracted to the beautiful homes and West Coast style of construction.

Growing up, his weekends and holidays were spent 4WDing, camping, and of course, fishing with his family. The youngest of three boys, he quickly soaked in all that he could learn from his father and two big brothers.

From fishing on the banks of the Swan River targeting bream and flathead, to fishing from jetties for herring, whiting, and squid, to surf fishing on beaches targeting mulloway and tailor, Western Australia’s diverse range of fish species always provided a new surprise. There was something about the challenge and the thrill of the chase.

When Ben turned 21, he bought his first boat—a 3.6m tinny named “The Rascal”—which was perfect for Perth’s estuaries and inshore waters. The Rascal took Ben’s fishing to new heights and farther reaches of the coast. This ignited Ben’s passion for light tackle jigging.

Ben, now a father of two girls, takes joy in teaching them all he can and sharing his love for the sport.
