by Gregg Crisp | Oct 27, 2012 | Coosa, Cuda, Fishing

So for the past 4 years I have been living in NH and have only fished the CT River once and that was on a company outing that I snuck a fishing rod on. That day I only got in 4 casts but got a nice small mouth bass. Every year I say I am going to head out there but I...

by Isaac Miller | Oct 24, 2012 | Cuda, Fishing, Saltwater, Saltwater Fishing, United States

10/11/12. Thursday. Consecutive numbers on the date. It had to be a sign of luck. I had been eyeballing the surf forecast for a few days. It was looking good. 2-4′ swell at 14 seconds, light winds at 5kts, sunny skies with patchy fog. We had a huge storm moving in for...

Fall Chesapeake Puppy Drum

by Drew Camp | Oct 22, 2012 | Cuda, Fishing, Fishing Reports

I was lucky to have a day with no cross country or soccer, so my Dad and I loaded up the Cudas and headed to one of our favorite spots. The Puppies were there, but they were a little finicky and preferred fresh cut bait to jigs or plugs.  We caught several slot reds...

A good beach fishing day

by JK Team | Oct 17, 2012 | Cuda

I bought my Cuda in the spring of 2012 to use on lakes and rivers around the Birmingham area. On a whim I carried it to the gulf coast on vacation and that is when a new world was opened for me. The Cudas ability to sneak up on fish is amazing. In addition its shallow...
