A Season’s Highlights

by Jake Horne | Jan 7, 2019 | Fishing

When I reflect about over this past season I have mixed emotions. There have certainly been trying times over the course of this year. Time spent on the water has been fewer and farther between than I would have liked. On the other hand it has given me a bit of...

The Canadian team trials took place in Kananaskis, Alberta at a sweet little hole called Chubbies. Before the lead up to this event I hadn’t really done much real hole boating, only messing around on the wave holes on the Ottawa so this was a big change from...

Scenic Alabama Creek Fishing for Alabama Bass

by Eric Atkins | Jan 6, 2019 | Fishing, Kilroy, Liska

Fellow Jackson Kayak Fishing Team member Evan Howard and I are known to do some pretty gnarly drops to access remote waters that are rarely fished. On this day, we used a bridge to access a scenic creek in Alabama in search of Micropterus coosae (redeye bass) and...

Power Pole Install

by teamjk | Jan 6, 2019 | Fishing, Fishing Instruction, Instructional

One of the awesome features that Jackson includes on a few of their boats is they are pre  rigged for a Power Pole Micro anchor system. The rear deck already comes with the proper size threaded inserts from the factory so all you have to do is drop the mounting...

Lakes Rover Comp 2018

Back in the warmer months I managed to get a few days off work and head over to the UK’s lovely Lake District (Cumbria) to fish the first annual Lakes Rover Kayak Competition. Like a lot of the UK’s freshwater kayak comps (there aren’t a lot to be...

First Aid

by Chuck Bahan | Jan 5, 2019 | Fishing

I think it’s very important when you go out fishing in a kayak that you bring a first aid kit. My background is in emergency medicine nurse so I have pretty extensive knowledge on what is important and what isn’t important to bring with you on a kayak. The basic...

Fishfinder setup on the Coosa FD

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...

Winter Smallmouth

by teamjk | Jan 3, 2019 | Coosa FD, Fishing

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...

by kelloggfamily | Jan 3, 2019 | River Running, rivers, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

Every 1st of January a bunch of nuts that love white water all meet up at noon to paddle the Shoshone rapids of the Colorado River. Some years are warmer than other years but nobody lets the cold stop them from starting the New Year off right. A few days before the...

Bassin on the Fly

by Evan Howard | Jan 3, 2019 | Fishing, Internationalisation, United States

Catching bass on the fly rod is my favorite technique. I still love the feeling of a bass t-boning a swimbait or smashing a spook, but nothing compares to the fight of a bass on the fly rod and the satisfaction of landing big bass on flies you tie yourself. My trip...

My Other Fishing Kayak

by stephenhrynewycz | Jan 2, 2019 | Fishing, Recreational/Touring, Tupelo

I wrote earlier on how to find new fishing waters. This is an update on using a sit inside kayak to help with the scouting. I use a Jackson Tupelo to scout out new waters. Why a Tupelo? It has the same comfortable frame style seat like my fishing kayaks. It’s very...
