On the latest episode of Hooked on Wild Waters, I catch the rare Bartrams bass on the wild and scenic Chattooga River! I talk to locals and the experts about this fish to learn more about it. The river itself is as beautiful as anywhere I’d ever paddled, but be sure you have the right equipment…

In Hooked on Wild Waters Podcast episode 3, we get into some tips and tactics with Lance Coley, 4-time winner on the tournament trail and 2-time River Basser of the Year (RBOY). Lance and I have known each other for a long time, well before the River Bassin’ Tournament Trail ever started, and in my opinion he is…

It has been 3 great Hooked on Wild Waters seasons, so we decided to put together this sort of highlight reel of all the best action! I’ve been to so many cool places and fished out of so many different models of Jackson Kayaks – the original Coosa, Coosa HD, Cuda HD, Big Tuna, Cuda LT, and Kilroy – and done so with some…

In Hooked on Wild Waters Podcast episode 2, I talk with fellow Jackson Kayak team members Ken Morris, our River Bassin’ Correspondent, and Justin Hausner, the current River Bassin’ Tournament Trail Director. We talk a little non-sense about what sports would be in the “Kayak Fishing Olympics” if there was such a thing. We also discuss the 2018 tournaments,…

Recently Chris Slaughter, Adam Cunningham and I had a day of smallmouth fishing that none of us will ever forget, in a good way. This was a day in November, just before a massive amount of rain was about to raise the creek well over 15’ from its banks. We were lucky enough to be off…

So many people aspire to stand and fish out of their kayaks. We put this short tip segment together to help get people started in their stand up fishing. Of course, first thing is first, you must have a nice stable kayak like the many options that we make at Jackson Kayak. Aside from that,…

We’re finally back! Hooked on Wild Waters, that is. Season 2 is set to begin on Sunday June 12th. This is a short “Preview” of what to expect in Episode 1: A Wild Dam Adventure. In this episode my good friend Dan Mullane and I take our Jackson Kayak Coosa HDs below a dam to catch…

I’m always telling people the best way to become a better kayak angler (aka catch more fish) is to become a better paddler. However, so many times I see people missing great spots on rivers because they just cannot slow down, catch eddys or maneuver properly. In this video I can at least show you…

As kayak anglers we are always looking for that specific spot that cannot be accessed by a boat or the regular bank fishermen. That spot for me, has and always will be the perfect eddy below Sandstone Falls on the New River. This eddy has been in my mind all winter long. I had to…
