Conditions were very favorable as well, with temperatures somewhat mild for winter and partly cloudy skies, tide and winds low, and water clarity very good. If we could even have a taste of how this same...

I fished Cocodrie today so that I wouldn’t be totally blind when Minimalist Challenge rolls around next weekend. This was a pure scouting trip as...
Drift Socks for Windy Days by Chris Funk | Mar 23, 2013 | Fishing, Fly Fishing, Freshwater Fishing, Saltwater FishingThis year it seems every time I join forces with the Jackson team members Drew Gregory and Brooks Beatty the wind is a major factor. We have been beaten up in north, south, and east Florida with everything from steady breezes to gale force winds. I wanted to take a...

Paddle keeper install by Ben Roussel | Feb 28, 2013 | Featured Post, Fishing, Fly Fishing, Instructional, Internationalisation, Recreational/Touring, RiggingThe new Cruise from Jackson Kayak doesn’t come with a paddle keeper of it’s own, so I needed to install them.

Conditions couldn’t have been better, the weather was amazing and the fish were cooperative. When the weather is nice paddling is never a problem, so a long exploratory trip was the plan. I put in probably 10-12...
Quality over quantity by Ben Roussel | Jan 20, 2013 | Cuda, Featured Post, Fishing, Fly Fishing, Internationalisation, Recreational/Touring, SaltwaterThe rain finally let up last Thursday and it has been nice and sunny ever since.
