Welcome to Cast & Pedal: Our Story

Hi there! We wanted to take this opportunity, with our first blog post, to introduce ourselves.

We are Jeanna & Johnny Plummer, the proud owners of Cast & Pedal. We both originally hail from sunny Southern California, but fate brought us together in the DFW metroplex over 20 years ago. These days, we call Leander home, just outside of Austin, TX. We absolutely love the Hill Country and the unique beauty it offers. It was this love for the outdoors that inspired us to start a new venture—one that would help us, and others, get outside more!

We’re both passionate about the water, fishing, camping, and all things nature. Back in our DFW days, we had a couple of basic kayaks that brought us so much joy whenever we took them out on the water. But we wanted to enhance that experience, make it even more enjoyable…and that’s how **Cast & Pedal** was born. We wanted to combine our love for kayaking with our passion for fishing, and create something special.

When we first conceived this idea, Johnny took the lead in researching all the different kayaks available on the market. We knew we wanted something that was perfect for fishing, but also just great for a leisurely cruise on the water—especially for the big and tall folks like Johnny himself! After tons of research, we decided on the FeelFree Big Fish 108s to start our fleet.

We’ve taken these kayaks out ourselves numerous times, testing them in various conditions—standing, sitting, quiet spots, busy areas—you name it, we’ve done it. And while we’ve seen some minor challenges, the positives far outweigh any issues. These kayaks are truly top-notch.

One of the best things about renting from us is that we bring the kayaks to you! We have several locations where we offer free drop-off and pick-up, but we can also deliver to any Texas waterway or coast for a fee. If you’re planning to take the kayaks on a road trip, we also offer a truck bed extender or a double kayak trailer for rent. And our rentals start at just $100 for a half-day (up to 6 hours).

We hope you’ll consider supporting a new small business here in South Texas. We absolutely love what we’re doing, and we’re confident you’ll have an amazing time out on the water with our pedal kayaks.
