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...

Low Water Big South

by Riley Frank | Jul 20, 2018 | Antix, Creeking, rivers, Video, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

July 1st typically opens the gate to Long Draw Road, the main entrance to the Big South. Due to low snow pack the water was already half as low as any flow I had previously run it at. Bar Room Brawl had wood in it that was right in the main line and Fantasy Flight...

Tennessee Tarpon Saves the Day

by Michael Ernst | Nov 28, 2017 | Fishing, Internationalisation, United States

Frustrated, Chuck and I fished and fished and could not buy a bite! We fished the generators, the lake, the lock, and several other areas. We were in pursuit of the spring white bass run at Pickwick Dam. But somehow the white bass did not get the memo that I was there...

Winter is Coming

by samantharuppelt | Nov 7, 2017 | Creeking, Karma, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

Most people I know do not particularly like this time of year. Aside form the holidays which most do enjoy, they hate the cold, dreary weather and everything else winter stands for. I, however, absolutely love the Southeast in the winter. Mainly because of the rain...

The Dynamic Uno

by Micah Kneidl | Jun 14, 2017 | Creeking, Dynamic Duo, rivers, Video, Whitewater, WW Disciplines

A few years ago I think I saw video of somebody running the Green River Narrows with an inflatable doll in the front cockpit of their 2-person boat. As somebody who has always loved paddling the Dynamic Duo tandem kayak made by Jackson Kayak, I was intrigued and...
