Why I Kayak Fish by Sam Hanggi | Jan 27, 2017 | Coosa, Family Zone, FishingKayak fishing has always been a place I can escape too to avoid the every day stresses of life. The second I pick up that rod and launch my kayak into the water, I leave all my worries on the bank. Kayak fishing is a sport that cannot be replicated, the feeling you...
Jackson Cruise on Merced River by JK Team | Jan 6, 2013 | UncategorizedFirst impressions of the Cruise is its a perfect first fishing kayak. We used it for fly fishing and loved the simple deck layout. We put two ram rod holders on the back and away we went. The kayak does it all well. It tracks well on the flats, and turns decent when...

SUPerFishal on the water! by Ken Hoeve | Sep 17, 2012 | Recreational/TouringNearly everyone has a photo of themselves as a kid holding their first fish.

Post Spawn Swimbait Bass by JK Team | Jul 24, 2012 | Coosa, Fishing, Fishing ReportsThe post spawn can be a weird time to fish for everyone. The bass, having just finished their spawn, will move to nearby cover and hunker down. It can wear the patience, of any seasoned bass angler, down to the bone. The fish just seem to stop eating and dissapear....
No Motors Allowed! by Ethan Funk | Jul 7, 2012 | Coosa, Fishing, Fishing Reports, Freshwater FishingMy dad and I took our Coosa’s out twice last week. The place we fished has a spot that is full of shoals. I was surprised at how shallow the Coosa could actually go through those rocks. I could take the Coosa through the small gaps with shallow water that no power...
