2014 Saint Johns River Florida Shad Run…..Big Rig Style by Alan L Ryland | Feb 19, 2014 | Big Rig, Fishing, Fly Fishing, Freshwater, JK Team Posts, rivers, Saltwater Fishing | 0 comments Decided to take up a friend’s offer to target the annual migration of American Shad which enter the Saint Johns River on Florida’s East Coast each Winter in preparation for spawning. This was the third time on the water for my New Jackson Kayak Big Rig and I must say, each time, I appreciate the design of the Big Rig even more. Stable, paddles great for a larger boat, and ample room for lots of gear needed for a day on the water. The shad were very cooperative along with some crappie and small bass to mix it up a little. Great day on the water and another true testament of how versatile the new Big Rig is proving to be in any body of water. Enjoy the pics 🙂 Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
