Winter Smallmouth by teamjk | Jan 3, 2019 | Coosa FD, FishingAs the open water season begins to wind down and the cold weather moves in many kayak anglers find themselves shying away from going out in these less than ideal conditions. There is still a plethora of opportunities to get out and on some fish right up until first...
Topwater fishing by Chuck Bahan | Jan 1, 2019 | Coosa FD, FishingI love topwater fishing all year round in South Louisiana. Nothing like seeing a nice speckled trout or redfish explode on your bait at any minute. Some places I like to try are long runs with total trips averaging 10 miles. I used to hesitate making some...
HD to FD by teamjk | Dec 28, 2018 | Coosa FD, FishingAbout a month ago I was fortunate enough to get a brand new Coosa FD. After getting out in it a few times including my final tournament of 2018 I have been nothing but impressed by this kayak. I feel like I must mention that I used to say that I would never put down...
My New Coosa FD – Do I like it? by stephenhrynewycz | Dec 27, 2018 | Coosa FD, FishingHere is one kayak that I was expecting not to like. Why? Because, I have paddled a canoe, boat, or kayak since I started fishing when I was 13. I try not to carry any prejudice against anything or anyone as I go through the years but, let’s face it we all have some...
A case for Neely Henry Lake, Alabama by joshtidwell | Dec 22, 2018 | FishingWhen folks from out of state think about fishing in Alabama, they probably think about Lake Guntersville, on the Tennessee River. That is understandable, as that body of water is famous for giving up huge sacks to the BASS pros over the years. However, due to size,...
Liska on the Coosa River by Eric Atkins | Dec 21, 2018 | Fishing, Liska, ReviewsThe Liska has continued to impress me in 2018. It is lightweight, stable, and covered with just enough fishing-ready accessories to make you feel fully rigged-out on the water. The currents found in the Coosa River provide as much of a proving ground as anyone would...
Testing the Coosa FD on a River by teamjk | Dec 18, 2018 | Coosa FD, Fishing, riversThe Coosa FD Is a very unique and versatile kayak so I thought I would give it a shot on a river. I’ve paddled the Coosa and Coosa HD down many rivers and they are both excellent boats for river fishing. With the FD being longer, wider and having the propeller...
Kayak Angling Confidence: Confessions of a Scaredy-Cat Kid by Jean Wilson | Dec 15, 2018 | Coosa HD, FishingI meet folks at the ramp when I’m launching or returning from a fishing trip in my Coosa HD and they often remark that they would be nervous to kayak fish and to go out adventuring on the water alone. “Aren’t you afraid of alligators?”, “Do you get scared being alone...
Have it your way! by Jeremy Deanda | Dec 11, 2018 | Coosa FD, FishingWe all know that Jackson Kayak has the best looking kayaks out there. One of the really awesome things about Jackson is they give you the option to make your kayak truly your own. For an extra $300 you can choose any of the colors in their palate and get a kayak that...
To Paddle or Pedal? by dustinnichols | Dec 10, 2018 | Coosa FD, FishingThat happens to be an important question lately. To each there own is what I say, but let us look at both sides of the plate! With a variety of pedal drives from different companies hitting the market, there are many options for you to choose from. Along with hull...
Put a Spin on it. by stephenhrynewycz | Dec 10, 2018 | Coosa FD, Fishing Everyone has their favorite go-to lure that they just wouldn’t go without. For me that lure is a straight in-line spinner. After all the shortest distance between two points is a straight line (You and the Fish), and nothing does that faster than an...
