Killin’ it in the Coosa

by Aaron Stiger | Sep 13, 2014 | Coosa, Fishing, Freshwater, Internationalisation, United States

Having the ability to locate fish is one of the most valuable features of a kayak to an angler. Many boats do this well, but Jackson Kayak’s Coosa does it great. Holding your spot, and stealthily maneuvering your craft as you pull fish out of current, cover, and open...

by Matthew Trucks | Sep 8, 2014 | Big Rig, Fishing, jacksonkayak.com, JK Team Posts, Saltwater, Saltwater Fishing, Team JK, Trip Reports, Trips, United States

Rolled out of bed to an unseasonable chill. Fifty four degrees Fahrenheit actually. For a moment I thought it was October and was getting up to go striped bass fishing but actually it was the end of August. Typically if it falls below 65 degrees time of year that is...

We Got Some Reds Down Here, Too

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

The Lower Florida Keys aren’t really known as a hot spot for redfish. And for good reason. There are a plethora of spots in Florida that hold many more reds than our waters down here. Still, we have had some in recent years, and while I’m out in my Jackson...

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...

Backwater Kayak Fishing

by Nik Brown | Aug 31, 2014 | Fishing, Freshwater, JK Team Posts, United States

Using kayaks to fish gives us access to every kind of water and game fish imaginable, but most of us tend to focus on only one. When we get involved in chasing big fish on deep lakes, going beyond the breakers in the ocean, or when we are constantly focusing on...

Recently fished a tournament at Purtis Creek State Park! We found ourselves extremely lucky to spend the weekend in one of the best camp spots in the park, and even luckier to spend a few days on the lake fishing out of my beautiful custom color Big Tuna customized by...

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...

Tricking out the Big Tuna

by Drew Camp | Aug 24, 2014 | Big Tuna, Fishing, Freshwater, Rigging, Saltwater, Saltwater Fishing, United States

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,...

Fished from the kayak this past weekend.  It was the first time I’ve been in one since Trout Challenge – which was in June, so it’s been a while.  Blake and I headed to a Mississippi River oxbow lake to do a little afternoon bass fishing.  Storms...
