Fifteen days into a twenty-six day kayak fishing trip and it was finally happening. A bite!  At first picking up a couple nice large mouth bass, then the stripers turned on.  Most fishermen know Lake George as a great bass fishing lake, with miles of...

Winter Blues Buster

by teamjk | Feb 4, 2019 | Coosa FD, Fishing

If you’re like me and live in the north, it gets cold.  Not just “where do the fish go when I’m paddling in the cold”, but the “Oh look! There’s 32 inches of ice over my favorite lake” kind of cold.   Its one the biggest issues facing kayak anglers in the...

Boat Control will help you catch more fish

by stephenhrynewycz | Jan 31, 2019 | Coosa FD, Fishing

Boat control, like a perfectly placed cast, will help you catch more fish. You want to get in position with a stealthy approach and maintain that position. In some situations on a body of water that means getting there with my kayak, parking it and wading to get to...

by Jeremy Deanda | Jan 4, 2019 | Coosa FD, Fishing

When installing a fishfinder on your Coosa FD the first step is determining which side of your kayak you want to have the screen mounted. I like to land my fish on the right side, so I mount my accessories on the left side. If you are running a larger screen the track...

As 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, Fishing

I 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...

About 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...

Here 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...
