Cruising Upriver

by Sean Brodie | Mar 20, 2014 | Fishing, Freshwater, rivers, United States

Unfortunately no one has all the time in the world to do as they please. Work, honey-do’s and the like always seem to clog our calendars, making it tough to sometimes find time to get on the water. I found myself in this situation recently. Instead of being on...

Grinding it out for that one big bite

by Rocky Ly | Mar 19, 2014 | Cuda, Fishing

Choosing where to fish can be tough sometimes, whether you are going for numbers or quality. These largemouth bass are in a transition this time of year and you can catch some real nice one. The only time I can actually get out to fish is on the weekends, and the...

Finally on the water!

by Ethan Funk | Mar 19, 2014 | Fishing, Freshwater, Kilroy, rivers

Between school, church, and not too good of weather, I have not been able to get out in the kayak like I have wanted to. Today was the first day I have had the time or the weather to get out, and I decided to try paddling my dad’s Kilroy. I was very surprised by the...

Why Stand Up Fishing?

by joey monteleone | Mar 18, 2014 | Big Rig, Fishing, Freshwater, rivers

Some folks may wonder why it is desirable to some anglers to stand while fishing. One of the draws for me in selecting a Jackson Big Rig was the ability to sit in two different positions but what really sealed the deal for me was the option to safely stand with a high...

Jackson Kayak Big Rig – Lowrance Elite-5 HDI – Scupper Transducer Mount & Lowrance Elite-5 HDI Fish Finder/Chartplotter Install

Creating a semi-permanent install for multiple kayaks is a challenge. Since most of us fish on a budget two separate fish finder units is not feasible. For about 1/4 the price of a new Lowrance Elite 5 HDI unit you may purchase a new Transducer, Power cable, and the...

Early Spring Bassin’, Chasing MegaMouth

by Brooks Beatty | Mar 17, 2014 | Coosa, Fishing, Freshwater, Whitewater

Here in the Carolinas, we’ve had a few scares of warm weather. And without fail, every bass fisherman I know, heads to a body of water somewhere…even if only for a few casts. And it’s because this time of year, on any given cast, there is a chance of...

I am sick of this weather here in NC, so I loaded up and headed to warmer weather, water, and fish! Check out this  video I put together of my short southern...

Pre-Spawn Bass Fishing

by Brady Sullivan | Mar 16, 2014 | Fishing, Fishing Tournament, Freshwater, United States

This is the time of year that most anglers start to think about spring time fishing, the time of year they start to look over their tackle and kayaks and begin to prep for the warmer temperatures to come. This is also the time of year that a select few dedicated...

Fishing New Waters of Los Angeles Harbor

by Justin Arakaki | Mar 15, 2014 | Cuda, Fishing, Saltwater Fishing, United States

Decided to take the kayaks up with me while I attended the Fred Hall show up in Long Beach, this past weekend. Plan was to fish LA Harbor in the morning, then head off to Fred Hall for the rest of the afternoon. I was excited at the prospect of fishing new waters,...

Big Smallmouth From The Big Rig

by tjstrong | Mar 14, 2014 | Big Rig, Coosa, Fishing, Freshwater

Everyone knows that it has been a brutal winter and most of us have been dealing with some serious cases of cabin fever in anticipation of warmer spring air. I couldn’t get the Big Rig on the water quick enough when temps hit the low 60’s in late February....

In early February I had the great opportunity to join some outstanding kayak anglers for the Perry Georgia Kayak Fishing Symposium. It was held at the Go Fish Education Center, a wonderful place filled with live aquariums of fish that represent species from the north...

Kilroy Initial Impressions

by Evan Howard | Mar 13, 2014 | Fishing, Fly Fishing, Freshwater, Kilroy, rivers

My first fish in my new Jackson Kayak Kilroy was a chunky, Georgia spotted bass. This fine specimen clobbered a Bull Herring swimbait just minutes after launch. I followed her up with another stud, spotted bass which smashed a fast moving soft jerkbait. I had taken...
