We Got Some Reds Down Here, Too

by Randy Morrow | Sep 8, 2014 | Cuda, Fishing, JK Team Posts, Saltwater Fishing, United States

Had a KILLER morning recently with my angling buddy Kyle. We got out early and had light winds and a fresh incoming tide from the Gulf of Mexico to hopefully bring us some sight fishing targets. The area we were fishing, close to Big Pine Key, had shown us nice fish...

Back in the Saddle

by Gregg Crisp | Sep 3, 2014 | Cuda, Fishing, Fishing Tournament, JK Team Posts, Saltwater Fishing, United States

It was a long off season for me. In October I purchased a house and coupled with the cold winter that was hanging around in the Northeast that meant it had been 7 months since I had been fishing from my kayak. Back in April I had taken delivery of my new Cuda and as...

by Randy Morrow | Sep 1, 2014 | Cuda, Fishing, Fly Fishing, JK Team Posts, Saltwater Fishing

Flats fishing during the heat of summer in the Florida Keys is usually better early in the day, before the sun has a chance to heat up the water too much. So my fishing friend Sheila and I launched early and went sight fishing from our Jackson Cuda 14s. Sheila was a...

by Marcos M | Aug 26, 2014 | Cuda, Fishing, Freshwater, Instructional, JK Team Posts, Saltwater Fishing

With our sport growing so fast, and so many people getting on the water now, I think a few of us are forgetting to practice self rescue. It’s not hard. It just requires a few hours away from fishing to practice something which might save your life. My suggestion...

Kayak fishing can take you to many remote and picturesque waters. But every once in a while, it takes to something even better. A place where fish are plentiful, powerful and above all else…exotic. The Florida Everglades is one of those rare places. After working on...

The Big Tuna is a great rig that is ready to fish straight from the factory, but in the last year I have slowly modified mine into the ultimate fishing machine. While I do use the Big Tuna in a tandem configuration, I mainly use it as a solo paddle for its stability,...
