To kayak fishing pro Richie Moschella, weeds are the best spot to fish.

Fishing Skill: Fishing In The Weeds | Kayak Angler Magazine | Rapid Media: "I can still remember the feeling of paddling into a cove on a local lake I fish in New Jersey.

Baits That Trigger Reaction Bites | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "The next time you’re headed to the lake, think about how you plan to catch those fish.
