I left Baton Rouge Friday mid-afternoon and contemplated putting the kayak in once I...
First Trip in the Cruise FD by Ben Roussel | Jan 31, 2018 | Cruise FD, Fishing, Fishing Reports, Fishing Tournament, Internationalisation, Saltwater, Saltwater FishingI finally got the chance to take my first trip in the new Cruise FD from Jackson Kayak. The fishing was not that great, but it was a good chance to put in a full day in the new boat. I fished BCKFC’s Minimalist Challenge, the first tournament of their...
A Fourteen Hour Fishing Trip by Matthew Trucks | Nov 27, 2017 | Fishing, Fishing Reports, Internationalisation, JK Team Posts, United StatesLiving in Delaware we don’t typically see many Red Drum in our waters. Traveling for the opportunity to target these game fish is exciting. Fortunately its only a 140 mile drive south from my home! It’s only a little over 2 and a half hours to make it to...
Good Weather Redfish by Ben Roussel | Nov 8, 2017 | Fishing, Fishing Reports, Fly Fishing, Internationalisation, JK Team Posts, Kraken, Saltwater, Saltwater FishingI was not planning on fishing this past weekend, there was way too much going on for me to even consider it, but it’s funny how plans change. We took a family trip to Disney last week and I assumed that the long road trip back would have eliminated the desire to...

Searching for Bulls by Ben Roussel | Jan 28, 2014 | Cuda, Featured Post, Fishing, Fly Fishing, Internationalisation, Recreational/Touring, SaltwaterBlake and I set out Sunday morning in search of bull redfish. Conditions were very favorable as well, with temperatures somewhat mild for winter and partly cloudy skies, tide and winds low, and water clarity very good. If we could even have a taste of how this same...
Cocodrie by Ben Roussel | Jan 14, 2014 | Cuda, Featured Post, Fishing, Fly Fishing, Internationalisation, Jackson Dealers, Recreational/Touring, SaltwaterReally happy to make it out for the first time in a long time, though the trip ended up being somewhat bittersweet. I fished Cocodrie today so that I wouldn’t be totally blind when Minimalist Challenge rolls around next weekend. This was a pure scouting trip as...
Running of the Bulls by Ben Roussel | Jan 28, 2013 | Cuda, Featured Post, Fishing, Fly Fishing, Internationalisation, Recreational/Touring, Saltwater, VideoHad an unforgettable day on the water yesterday. Conditions couldn’t have been better, the weather was amazing and the fish were cooperative. When the weather is nice paddling is never a problem, so a long exploratory trip was the plan. I put in probably 10-12...
Quality over quantity by Ben Roussel | Jan 20, 2013 | Cuda, Featured Post, Fishing, Fly Fishing, Internationalisation, Recreational/Touring, SaltwaterThe rain finally let up last Thursday and it has been nice and sunny ever since. With clear skies, highs in the low 60’s and winds from 5-10 mph, yesterday was too nice a day to not go fishing. With all local freshwater blown out I made the drive down to the...
