From Paddles to Props is your home for water-based outdoor adventure.
Every Wednesday we go live with real conversations featuring kayak anglers, tournament competitors, hunters, bushcrafters, wilderness explorers, and the gear innovators building the tools that get us out there. Whether you're chasing bass in a kayak, running a trot line from a canoe, or accessing backcountry camps by SUP — if it floats, we cover it. From the silence of a paddle to the roar of a prop.
Adapt & Overcome — Terry Colley on Kayak Fishing, Tournaments & Refusing to Quit
Some anglers make excuses. Terry Colley makes adjustments. The Outdoor Amputee joins From Paddles to Props to talk adaptive kayak fishing, tournament competition, and the mindset that keeps him on the water no matter what. We cover how he rigs and fishes his kayak setup, the mental framework behind refusing limitations, what pursuing tournament kayak fishing really looks like, and what he wants every outdoorsman facing a barrier to hear. This episode is about one thing — adaptation beats excuses every time.

Kayak Fishing Safety — What Most Anglers Are Getting Dangerously Wrong | Alex Perz!
Kayak fishing is growing fast — and so are the dangerous mistakes. No life jacket. Overloaded hulls. Sloppy wiring that fails when it matters most. North Georgia kayak angler and "The Measuring Board" host Alex Perz joins From Paddles to Props to have the safety conversation most anglers are avoiding. We cover why so many anglers still aren't wearing life jackets, the real dangers of overloading a kayak, rigging and wiring mistakes that can fail catastrophically, and what a truly safe kayak setup looks like. This isn't a lecture — it's a real conversation from someone who loves this sport and wants to protect it.
