Jackson Kayak Night shift bass fishing on the JK Big Rig
Jackson Kayak - During the hot days of summer, boaters, recreational paddlers, and bank fisherman swarm to local waters to soak up the sun.

It is absolutely frustrating when the bite suddenly stops. A few years ago a few friends and I kayaked and camped at local lake. After the sun set and the fire was well fed, we heard nonstop disturbances in the water along the cattail lined banks next to our campsite.
