I picked up a new boat from Massey’s the other day – the Jackson Kraken 13.5.  This is a brand new boat for 2016, a shorter version of their original Kraken, a boat designed with help from Jim Sammons that has been really popular with offshore kayak anglers since it’s debut.

I don’t intend to use it much offshore, but I liked the design and think it will be a great fit for inshore fishing down here in Louisiana.  Jackson really didn’t have a dedicated kayak fishing boat in the 13 foot range that wasn’t a tandem, so this one piqued my interest when I heard about it’s release.

I’m hoping a boat in this size will hit a sweet spot for me between speed, stability, and weight.  I picked up the Elite version which comes with it’s own color coordinating K-Krate.  Not sure if it will take the place of the tried-and-true milk crate, but we shall see.

I got a chance to take it out this past weekend in less-than-spectacular conditions.  I caught some trout, the boat performed well.  I’ll hold off on a full review, but suffice it to say I am pretty excited about the new ride.

Another video from Paul and the folks at Kayak Fish mag featuring my ugly mug was published on their website this week.  Be sure to check it out here: http://www.kayakfishmag.com/videos/caught-on-film/caught-film-red-fly-rampage/.

The footage was from one of my best days on the water ever, back in late January of last year – several bull reds and a massive black drum were caught with the fly rod  that day and I was all by myself trying to document it.  If you want to see more video from that day, check out the two videos below:

I recently sent Paul Lebowitz from Kayak Fish magazine a little unpublished GoPro footage from my tangle with a couple Jack Crevalle last year.  They edited the video and put it to a little audio, and just published it a few days ago.  If you want to check it out you will have to visit their website: http://www.kayakfishmag.com/videos/caught-on-film/kayak-fishing-for-jacks/.  It’s short, but that’s the point.  I thought it came out pretty good, I’ll take free video editing when I can get it – that to me is the toughest part of taking a lot of video and admittedly I don’t put enough time into it.  If you haven’t picked up Kayak Fish magazine, be sure to check it out, Paul has done a fantastic job with it.
