It’s that time of year again. Time for everyone to start thinking about what kind of gifts we’re giving to loved ones, and equally important — what kind of gear we’re dreaming of receiving!
I know different anglers will be looking at different types of gear, but for some fresh ideas be sure to get over to YakAngler.com to check out the Christmas Wish List 2012 ezine!

On Saturday, September 8, yak anglers came out in strong numbers to fish the last regular-season Saturday in the Canoe KY ECKFS. The cooler temperatures of late have been ideal for fishing, and this day was no exception with a high of 78 degrees. The clouds and chances of rain did not deter the faithful, nor did it turn into much of a problem as the day progressed.
The numbers show that all things came together and made for a great day of fishing, with a grand total of 228.25 inches caught by the top five competitors of the day.
| Place | Angler | Total Inches | Points Earned |
| 1st | AJ McWhorter | 48.75″ | 5 |
| 2nd | TJ Strong | 46.75″ | 4 |
| 3rd | Tim Dunham | 45.5″ | 2.5 |
| 3rd | Adam Miles | 45.5″ | 2.5 |
| 5th | Allen Faith | 41.75″ | 1 |
As we count down the remaining weeks to the series grand finale, the overall point standings as of this writing are as follows:
| Angler | Total Points |
| AJ McWhorter | 42.5 |
| TJ Strong | 37 |
| Matt Schaefer | 21.5 |
| Tim Dunham | 16 |
| Adam Miles | 14.5 |
| Allen Faith | 14 |
| John Walters | 8 |
| Tim Emberton | 3 |
| Bob Brown | 2.5 |
| Eric Engel | 2 |
| Tyson Peterson | 2 |
| Joe Maione | 2 |
There are two dates remaining in the regular schedule of the series; September 16 and September 30. The year-end, grand finale for the series will take place Saturday, October 13.

AJ McWhorter showing one of his larger catches of the evening
On Wednesday, August 15th there was a good turnout for the Canoe KY
ECKFS. With weather pretty much as expected for the middle of August and the water levels strong, the fishing turned out just as strong for this evening’s tournament.
There were a couple of ties, both for second and fifth place, really highlighting how tough the competitors are. Who would have expected the weekly totals to be so close?
The results are:
| Angler | Total | Points earned | |
| 1st | TJ Strong | 33.25″ | 5 pts. |
| 2nd | AJ McWhorter | 27.75” | 4 pts. |
| 2nd | Allen Faith | 27.75” | 3 pts. |
| 4th | Adam Miles | 27.25” | 2 pts. |
| 5th | Matt Schaefer | 26.5” | .5 pts. |
| 5th | Tim Dunham | 26.5” | .5 pts. |
TJ Strong came in 1st this week with this catch putting him over the top.
