This guy is so proud, and rightly so, of his product. It shows he cares.

Please ignore negative comments. I wanted basics and I got it. Thank you. Very help full

Watching this as I am about to head out for my first fishing trip with my Father and my son. I will be in my Jackson Bite. More to come!

Erik is doing it right. Creating amazing Jackson kayaks, and a lot of thought put into them. Def impressed with their designs. Great kayak fishing tutorial. -Nauti Fish

Out of every kayak fishing video I've seen trying to train I feel this one actually fits the bill! I thought I was the only one that used my crank baits to coast with ^^; thanks for including this technique on the video I've gone entire hour long runs without touching a paddle using this method, the calmer the day and the water the better it works! Nothing feels better than covering an entire 200 yards of territory better than anyone could in a bass boat, and all that with not 1 battery to worry about Gosh I'm psyched to get back on the water!

nice review. as someone relatively new to the kayak world and going out alongside my young son and his lifetime youth kayak I appreciate the paddling instructions as well. This is a video that we will watch together as well as checking out your other videos. Thanks for posting!!

Nice kayak, thanks for paddling tips...

Nice thank you! Also I love the coast guard cutter in the background!!

all and all great vid on showing the different types of paddling will certainly be useing the knowledge when i finally get the kayak i ordered and try out my very first time in a kayak

Just bought a Jackson bite, I’m brand new to kayak fishing. Awesome time first couple times out. Great tips I’ll be trying next time.

I have the big tuna, very capable offshore kayak. Im 6'5 and 280 pounds and have no issue standing up in it, and its stable as a rock! ive been bashed by huge swells and this kayak never lets me down. Cheers Erik for the best fishing platform i have ever had!

The local rental places use Jacksons. They seem to be very well made. One day I will trade up, but for now I'm making do with a somewhat heavily modified big-box kayak. It gets the job done, but it was painfully uncomfortable until I went to work on it.

Very informative! Thanks for the advice! Last week I got a sun dolphin 12ss. Looking forward to catching a lot of Bass!

hey thanks I just got a tahoma 100 for Christmas and I had no clue what to do. Before I got the kayak I did really want to start kayaking so thank you this helped allot

I am looking forward to my first Jackson Kayak. Just working my way up to it

Great video. I bought my kayak in a "big box store" here in Canada and am very happy with it. I am 5'10" and 200 lbs and my Pelican Catch 120 is perfect for me and very stable. That said, I am already looking to upgrade to a peddle kayak maybe next year.

Great video Eric i own 4 Jackson i have a Big Rig COOSA HD Kilroy Cuda 12 love them all fish tournaments in them all ill be at the KBF this year hope to see you there

That is so well-designed and convenient. We used regular kayaks to fish. So cumbersome...but my boyfriend caught a 5 lb. large mouth bass.

👍👍👍👍👍 learned so much in 10 minutes. Will watch again!

Very cool! I just bought Wilderness Systems ATAK 120 . He is spot on about his tips. Thanks!

Great tips much appreciated here in Northern Ontario!

Great video, lots of camera views, specially the far view from shore that is missing in so many other videos. Thank you!!!!

Tips for kayak fishing "buy our kayak" XD

I didn’t think I’d need paddling basics but they really helped

Great instruction - line feed is a great idea.. Wish I'd shopped for a Jackson before I bought my Third Coast.

When I get mine I'm doing donuts for sure and go over the sea speed limit

I'm new to kayaking and my wife and I just started with some cheap fishing kayaks to see if we like the sport. One day out and we are hooked. Thanks for the great tutorial, we will be trying some of your techniques tomorrow. We like your products and are hoping to upgrade in the near future. Will you be doing any demos at Greentop in Ashland, VA in the near future? We would like to see you full product line.

I have noticed most videos of Kayaks etc... hardly show boarding the kayak from shore and paddling. Posing questions to kayak dealers has not been helpful.. I have been shopping for a long time with more questions than answers. Price is not so much a concern as knowing more about what Im buying. I watched a couple of Jackson Kayak owners at Lake Guntersville fishing one day and was totally impressed. After a purchase, I will be left on my own to learn this boat. I usually fish alone and I dont know personally, anyone that kayaks. Thanks Eric, hope your sales guys are as good as you. Im going to look closer at your boats.

As A newbie, I learned a lot - Great Video! Thanks!

Jackson Kayaks are awesome. We had a great time in Panama with the Jackson Kayak Fishing team twice - at Bahia Honda, and another time at our beach-side lodge at Jaque in the Darien province. We hope you make it back to us.

I just bought a Jackson Bite, can't wait to use it here in Louisiana

I fish from a Hobie PA but I do like the Jackson kayaks as well. Great video!

I love my Wilderness Systems Ride 135 Max, and as a bonus, Drew Gregory isn't Pro Staff or whatever for them!

My dude is set on getting 300 pounders in the kayak game

I wanted to thank you for your advice, I purchased a Fishing kayak and took it out and with the tips you gave I was able to totally control my Yak comfortably for an amateur. Great advice.

good job, good info, going to put mine in for the first time. TY

This guy is amazing!

Informative video on the paddling thanks

Thank you very much for sharing great tips.

Hobie for me, but great vid, I have a paddle one too, learned heaps from this, thankyou.

Love this! Thank you

Awesome video, just a question I see you're wearing trousers are they good for partially cool and hot humid dry conditions.

Great video , thanks for the tips.

I am paraplegic t3 hope one day to get on a kayak and fish I have no stomach muscles so I know it will be a challenge but I think I can do it. 🎣👍🏽😬

I'm 6'3" and weigh about 250. I'm 57 years old and I'm pretty clumsy. I have a great time fishing from my 25 year old ocean kayak that I bought used for $150. I spent maybe an other $50 to set it up for fishing. No, I can't stand up in it, but I'm a klutz and probably couldn't stand up in the one he has either. He probably charges at least $1500 for that one. You can watch all the videos you want and spend as much money as you want but the best way to effectively fish from a kayak is to go out and do it. Be safe, be cautious and figure it out as you go. It's a lot of fun. I highly recommend!

That is a cool Kayak, just picked up a new Kayak and didnt consider a Jackson Kayak. But I do understand what you are teaching here. Yes I went with a 40 inch wide double v bottom kayak. I fell in and lost gear a few times. I would add you should show how difficult it is to get in a cheap kayak and what you need a stable kayak.

getting me an Old Town Predator PDL this season!! would y'all recommend a trailer for it or just put it on top of my SUV?

Very helpful, Thank You!

Thanks for the tips.

Great video and presentation thank you

I don’t really fish. But thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the paddle techniques! Thanks.

250 lbs, found a Riviera on craigslist for 100$, mounted rod holder on it... Ha ha. Hooked, ready to step it up for winter... rod holder, cutter, nice tips... Thanks man!

This video prooved to me i made the rite choice buying a jackson kayak

I wonder that we will have a kayak bass fishing tour

Great video Thanks for posting , I love Kayak Fishing if you try it good chance you will love it

Great review with tips!

6:57 Time to fish! wee!

I like how this went from tips to a promotion about their kayaks

Good tip today i learn something new

"Ability to stand in your kayak on the water" (stands while it is partially on land) hahaha But yes, that IS a kick butt fishing kayak. Well thought out in every aspect.

I have 3 Jackson Kayaks You think i could get a shirt or something ,,

Thats a nice kayak please bring some to Australia.

I looked and compared a lot of kayaks and if they came with a rudder or if you had too buy the rudder for it along with the weight limit And Vibe won out over them all with the Sea Ghost 130 it was under $1000 and it comes with a foot controled rudder

HI there. Thanks for the great instructions and Tips. Great video. I will subscribe on the strength of this video. Are there any outlets in New Zealand or Australia that sell your Kayaks? Cheers.

good job Mr. Jackson

I like rooftop boats for fishing, went from a 9ft pontoon to a fishing kayak, now I just set up and started using a cheap flat-bottom, square-stern canoe with trolling motor...never looking back, dunno why I waited so long...

Great Video. Thank you Sir

Muy buen instructivo. Felicitaciones.

1:57 was there a missing screw to save weight or is that how all the jackson kayaks are?

What would you recommend for someone that wants to stand and is 6'2 and weighs 250.

Great Content!

Great video!

Good information thank you

I use worm and hook or salmon eggs spin glow or a weeding ring with 2 hooks and anchovies or a 3. Oz white jig in the ocean

I can’t afford one of these, but if I could... I would absolutely buy one of his.

Do you need gopro's for kayak fishing? Damn, he has more gopros than fishing reels. lol

Hi ive come across a used Cuda 12 , do you have a distributor in Sydney Australia as id like to find out what year it is or is there a reference if i have the serial no on the hull? And what are your thoughts on a through hull transducer glued inside the hull? thanks for any information

Great video. Thanks for posting it up!

is there a reason your tackle box was laying in water in that nice jackson kayak?

I like the design! Very practical!...way above my budget though

Can you go down stream and then back up again? Or will you need someone to come pick you up where you end up?

Eric, what's the latest on the Jackson peddle kayak that was demo'd at iCast last summer? I have the 13.5 Kraken and love it, but could use the peddles when the ocean's dragging me up the beach to hold my position.

hell ya man. that couldnt have been done better if yea ask me.thank you.

Nice video. Thanks

What do you think about using the kayak for trolling for walleye

I fish out of a Tarpon100 and it's so dope

My hearth is set on Big Rig HDFD but waiting the price to go down.

Do you have a link to the fishing kayak? What is the boat material? Thanks!

this guy is good! i wonder how u land a big fish while standing...

This video makes me extra happy I bought a $300 big box store kayak.

Hey I am a 13 year old and I am looking for a good fishing kayak for on a River do you have any suggestions

I’m in a 2012 Big Tuna. Just learning. Gonna try these strokes next time I go out. To windy today.

So what boat is that or just give me the width, depth, length so i can compare.

I'm very knew to kayaking. What is on the back of your Kayak?

Aye that KDM plug

Thank you So much

He sells very well to larger guys, I’m 6’2” and 250 and looking to get into a kayak but can’t really afford a Jackson

Howdy Eric...Great Kayaks, Love Jackson FD. Here is my design challenge to the Kayak industry.... Design a Kayak that will out-maneuver and out-fish my "hands free" $500 Inflatable Pontoon boat with choice of fins, oars, or $100 Minn Kota 5 mph motor. It has to be 100% "hands free" in sitting as well as standing position e/human power hybrid is OK (Love FD concept just needs 360 hands free control)). It has to be able to maneuver on rivers as well as a "double ended" drift boat and back plugs. Yep, this is a friendly challenge. No offense. I own both kayak and toon. Competition is good! Inshore, offshore, rivers, lakes doesn't matter. Definition of "hands free" does not include anchoring of any type(power poles, drogues, spot lock), or any hand controlled remote. In other words I want complete control in any direction with my feet. Electric foot controls to control prop motion 360 degrees similar to bow mounted bass boats is OK while standing. It must have option to use "hands free" 360 degree control human power while sitting. A "hands free" human powered, STANDING, 360 control would be out of this world. I sent out this challenge to Hobie over 20 years ago after I returned my original pedal drive hobie and went back to my toon. I am still waiting. Yep, It is 2020 and my "hands free" pontoon will out maneuver any Kayak on the market. IMO that is why Bass Tournament regs don't allow toons, they are afraid they will be out maneuvered and out fished. LOL Just a friendly challenge. Good Luck

I like your Kayaks But Damn they are hard to find in Ontario Canada You have one dealer in Toronto And the rest spread out so far i refuse to drive there. And i can't find prices on the Big rig anywhere.

I thought I would like the Coosa, but didn't. Big Rig has me spoiled! Wife went with the Cuda 12 which I also really like..
