So, as I posted earlier the prior week, Karl & I were looking forward to fishing this year’s LA 1 Slamboree (put on by the Lafayette Kayak Fishing Club). And while we both got to fish it, the day did not go as planned. We knew we’d be dealing with a...

If you would’ve asked me 10 years ago what I thought my hobbies would consist of when I’d reach 31 years old I’m certain that I wouldn’t have known what to predict. Likely something involved with music. I can guarantee that I would not have...

I’m absolutely into my thirties now. Don’t get me wrong, I know I’m still young. But I’ve noticed I do grunt a little more here and there, and I don’t have the energy that I had just a few years ago. But I know there’s someone out...

It was the first trip since fishing with the JK Media House crew. I was meeting up with a couple of friends from one of my local clubs. We were launching at a familiar area, Pointe Aux Chenes (where I’d fished a week earlier), but launching at a different...

At long last, the Jackson Kayak Flex-Drive kayaks have been unleashed on the world! And as far as I can tell the response has been very positive. I, too, have joined the pedal kayak family, but with my very own Cruise FD! After receiving it a couple of weeks back, and...

It’s always a great time when Jameson and Brooks, the JK Media House team, come to Louisiana. I enjoy getting a chance to fish with any of my fellow team members that I don’t see very often. That’s what makes these JK Media House meet-ups so fun....

It’s an annual tradition for the two of us; Karl and I. Almost since the two of us started kayak fishing, we’ve been taking part in the annual Lafayette Kayak Fishing Club tournament, the LA1 Slamboree. The tournament is named for the corridor of LA...

For a lot of kayak anglers in South Louisiana, tournament fishing is a big deal. We’re a competitive bunch. Maybe some not quite as much as others, but we like putting ourselves to the test. When I was first getting started with kayak fishing, tournaments were...

Karl and I loaded up the truck the morning of. Neither of us had been to the marsh yet in 2017, and it was January 28th. Our last trip (another forgotten post) had been about a month prior. We knew the weather wouldn’t be great this time, but we weren’t too concerned...
