New Jackson Fishing Kayak ~ The Coosa Kayak

It looks like Jackson Kayaks has hit a home run with their new fishing kayak called the Coosa Kayak. It is a sit-on-top kakay that weighs in at 66 pounds with their comfortable seat. This kayak was designed with river anglers in mind but well suited for the saltwater flats fishing all along Florida's east coast. Professional kayak fisherman, Drew Gregory provided input into this kayak's design. For a location near you go to www.jacksonkayaks.com

Kayak Wars ~ Online Fishing Tournament

I came across this year long online fishing tournament called "Kayak Wars. Their web site is http://www.kayakwars.com/ This is a Catch and Photograph tournament. You get points for the total length of your catch. There is a Freshwater, Saltwater and a Freshwater and Saltwater divisions.

The 2nd Annual Indian River Paddle Classic kayak fishing tournament for Coastal Charities was held on September 25th all along the Space Coast. The captain's meeting was held at Strike Zone fishing and tackle store on New Haven Avenue in Melbourne, Florida. Bryan Cheek was the host and did a great job explaining the rules and running the raffle. This was a catch and photo tournament. The weigh-in was held at the Lagoon House on U.S 1 in Melbourne, Florida. Over 55 anglers competed for prizes. I was reported, by Brian Cheek, "that it was a tough day on the water and with windy and muddy conditions, the snook bite was modest at best". The prizes for 1-3rd Red Fish, Trout, Snook and Slam. Because there were no winners in the Snook category, the Snook prizes were added to the general raffle making for a very exciting tournament conclusion. Over $5,000 was raised for Coastal Charities. All though I was not in the money, I had a great time by catching 12 catfish and two small under sized red fish.
