Drew Gregory, Featured Speaker
Drew Gregory has been river fishing since he could handle a rod and reel, but for the past ten years has been pioneering the sport of kayak fishing in freshwater rivers. Standing up and fishing out of his signature series watercraft, the Jackson Kayak Coosa for any fish that lives in hard to reach, wild water, is his passion. However, in 2012 he will be exploring more salt water in his latest Jackson Kayak creations, the Cuda and Big Tuna kayaks.
Drew got into the sport of kayak fishing when he was still in college, because it was cheaper and more intriguing than traditional boat and lake fishing. Since then, his knowledge and passion for the sport has flourished due to the fact that it easier on the wallet, the environment, better for health and fitness, and a sport that is simply more fun than traditional boat fishing.
Drew is passionate about finding new, unexplored water where big bass abound, and will stop at nothing to get to them which sometimes makes for some crazy adventures! Drew has also been known within, and outside of fishing circles for his now famous goose attack viral video. In early 2010 Drew was fishing in his kayak, and filming as usual, when a goose decided to take a ride on his back! Yes, the hilarity that ensued has now been aired on all major networks, national and local news and made the late night show rounds as well.
Aside from designing his line of signatures series kayaks with Jackson Kayak, Drew previously (2008) launched RiverBassin.com, a community of river bass fisherman who also share the passion of floating rivers in predominantly paddle-powered watercraft. From there, in 2010, he founded the River Bassin Tournament trail as a way for these paddle powered anglers to fellowship and enjoy a little competition at the same time. Recently Drew has filmed a pilot for his TV show, Hooked on Wild Waters, that has an anticipated air date of April 2012. More information about this show will be released soon! Drew still finds time to present river fishing seminars at Bass Pro Shops, fishing expos, churches, industry trade and consumer shows. And, somehow still finds time to hit the water and has been blessed to land over 185 citation-sized river bass.
