ABOUT US
Reliving Fishing Tales and
Adventures
In the early 1980's Kingfisher Designer, Jim Clark,
bought a vintage wooden 1963 Chris Craft Cruiser to fish and tour the California
Delta. Jim had grown up fishing the delta for large-mouth bass with his twin
brother, Bob. Jim was anticipating revisiting the adventures of his youth. It
only took one weekend on his beloved boat to realize that he could not fish from
a cruiser and had to be able to get up and personal with those bass in order to
catch them
Designing New Fishing
Adventures
Jim sat on his boat that first weekend designing just
the craft he would need. He had to have a light, comfortable and nimble fishing
boat that could be carried on the swim board of his new cruiser.
Ready To Catch Fish
It only took a short while before Jim was able to come
up with a design that met all his needs. The boat he designed turned out to be
more like a kayak. It had a flat stern so that it could be tied on it's tail on
the swim board for transportation. It had a rudder and peddles to make it
possible to slowly meander in the delta's tall grasses and tree branches looking
for his trophies of large-mouth bass. Jim ended up making several of these
wonderful small kayaks that were averaging 8 feet in length and weighed under 50
lbs. We carried two of them in the cruiser, just for fun.
"I
recently viewed a video on your motorized
kayak, it was extremely impressive." Mike
Oregon's Wild River's Coast
In 1999, Jim took an early retirement to Southern
Oregon's Wild Rivers Coast. After getting his feet wet with ocean fishing from
a new Trophy Boat, he set about to try his luck in the nearby rivers using his 8
foot kayak with the rudder. The kayak was difficult to control in the current
and he realized that he would have to design another fishing boat keeping in
mind the success he had with his first design of 30 years before.
Jim Clark is the designer/builder of the Kingfisher Electric Boats. He
had a long career in the electronics business before moving to the Oregon coast,
where he spends his time designing his innovative way to quietly fish hands-free
on Wild River's Coast of Southern Oregon
"Jim is either fishing or thinking about
fishing", Karen, his wife
