by teamjk | Jul 25, 2019 | Fishing

The majority of anglers around the country have reached or will soon reach, the half way point of their seasons. I like to take this time to do some routine and preventative maintenance to ensure all of my gear is in top notch working order. It can all be done in less...

by teamjk | Jul 16, 2019 | Fishing, Reviews

I have been putting my new Big Rig HDFD to the test during my tournament season. I have to say, it is the most impressive kayak that I have fished out of to date. I absolutely love this kayak. Here’s my review on some of the keys that make this kayak so outstanding....

Season Preparations

With the 2019 fishing season already in full-swing, I’m sure most of you have already gone through your preparations. I have a system in place I follow each year that ensures nothing is missed and that my gear stays in optimal working order. A little time invested now...

Off Season Recharge

by teamjk | Jun 28, 2019 | Fishing

Here in the Northeast kayak fishing tournaments usually run April to October. In addition to that, I would still be on the water till it freezes and then back on when it thaws out. Those short couple of months or less of no fishing are usually spent playing with...

Looking ahead to 2019

by teamjk | Dec 9, 2018 | Big Rig, Fishing

I’m very excited to get the 2019 season underway. This past season was my roughest to date as far as tournament finishes go but the positives I was able to take away from it was experience and lessons learned. I’m anxious to get back on the water to apply some of my...

Getting out of your comfort zone

by teamjk | Dec 7, 2018 | Fishing

Whopper Ploppers… I can’t remember there ever being a lure that was more talked about or been on the receiving end of so much hype. I can’t speak about its mystical powers when it comes to largemouth, as I haven’t had enough experience with it in that regard but for...

Summer River Bronze Patterns

by teamjk | Jul 15, 2018 | Fishing, rivers

Summer time on my local river usually means shallow, clear, and very warm water. It’s also one of my favorite times of the year to fish. The water is warm so the smallmouths metabolism is high causing them to feed more often and or feed on bigger meals. This time of...

Become A More Efficient Angler

by teamjk | Jun 21, 2018 | Fishing

As an avid kayak tournament angler I’m always striving to improve my efficiency while out on the water. To me being more efficient means an increased opportunity for putting more fish in the boat. Most kayak fishing tournaments are 8 hours long. I want to make sure...
