Since I can remember I have loved fishing and paddling, but had not combined to two until I was introduced to Jackson Kayaks in 2012 by my local Jackson Kayak Dealer MEFCOR Outdoors.  After getting a Jackson Coosa it became very apparent to me that you could...

Winter Blues Buster

If you’re like me and live in the north, it gets cold.  Not just “where do the fish go when I’m paddling in the cold”, but the “Oh look! There’s 32 inches of ice over my favorite lake” kind of cold.   Its one the biggest issues facing kayak anglers in the...
