YakAngler.com and KayakFishingRadio.com get together and put out an annual Kayak Angler’s Choice Awards and they are going on right now. As I scrolled through the list making my selections I was surprised to see this blog as an option for Kayak Angling Blog of the Year. I thought that was pretty cool and I thank whomever nominated me. This scene from The Mask immediately came to mind:

 

If you want to play along you can follow the link below. There is no incentive for winning so just one vote is all that’s needed. If you vote for this blog, great! Good karma is sure to come your way. More details from the website below the link.

Kayak Anglers Choice Awards (KACA) is a joint venture between YakAngler.com and KayakFishingRadio.com. Each year kayak anglers from across the globe nominate and vote for their favorites in various categories like Kayak Angler of the year, Kayak Fishing Guide of the year, Kayak of the year, and more. The KACA are the only kayak fishing specific awards driven solely by kayak anglers.

Nominations for the KACA run from June 1st to July  31st.

Votes for the Kayak Anglers Choice Awards will be taken from September 10th- October 10th. KACA polls will only be active during the voting and nominations phases.

Now is the time of year that all the big outdoor companies are releasing their new products to look for in 2013, Jackson Kayak included. Shows like iCAST, OR, and IFTD are the epicenters of this activity and for those that won’t be in attendance all we can do is wait for the info to trickle down. Fortunately JK has put out a video to satisfy our appetites which highlights their new boats and a few are sure to interest kayak fishermen. Check it out:

If they weren’t already, the folks at JK are up to their eyeballs in kayak fishing. With a new SIK and a new SUP specifically catered to fishermen, plus the arrival of the Cuda 12, they have shown that they are taking the kayak fishing contingent serious. Flying under the radar is the Cruise, which is basically a bare bones Cuda for less, a real sleeper in my opinion. Be sure to check out the JK website for more information on all the new boats, especially this page: http://jacksonkayak.com/newin2013/

I can already tell that a Cuda 12 is in store for me. 11-13′ boats are right up my alley, especially if I can stand in them, there is no better size for river and marsh fishing, which just happens to be what I like to do.

UPDATE: Isaac Miller has done an outstanding job of previewing the 2013 kayak fishing lineup from Jackson, much better than I could have, check it out here: http://yakfish.isaac-online.com/jackson-kayaks-2013-preview/
