Here is a “How To” video some of our Coosa owners may be interested in.

I am working on the episode format now to follow up on the River Smallmouth Seasonal Patterns DVD Series. This is the premiere episode. It’s a 30 minute video that encompasses a single float trip, from shuttle method to pattern development to using a new style of craft.

This is a series of videos with tips on cleaning/servicing a bait-casting reel.

…Part I

We have all heard from our fishing buddies that fish with tube baits how effective they are.  Great news!!!!  How do you fish with them without getting hung up all the time though?  The solution is quite simple!  When fishing with these bad boys,  rig them with a weedless jig head.  How in the world do you get the weed guard inside the tube bait without the weed guard sticking into the sides of the tube bait?  This video will hopefully share a simple trick I learned to do this!!  I think you will be quite amazed how simple the solution is!!  I hope this you will help you to become a better tube bait fisherman.

…. When you kayak fish and you catch that fish of a lifetime, are you able to get a good photo of you and the fish together or do you just photograph the fish by itself?  Well, this has happened to me more times than I remember.  Just a few days ago I was watching some videos on YouTube and found a video made by Florida Kayak Angler guide Robert Duerscheidt that showed me how to build an inexpensive camera mount that would mount into a Scotty Rod Holder base.  I thought it important enough to share with you how I made mine.

For the past couple of years, I have struggled with different ways of rigging swimbaits. Some ways were better than others; until recently, I have not been completely satisfied with any of them. In this video, I will share with you what I have learned. Hopefully, these tips will help increase your catch rate on this awesome bait!!

….. Are you reluctant to use crankbaits, stickbaits or any other type of lure that has treble hooks on them for fear of losing them?  Well, I’ve got a little trick that may help you get over that fear!  It’s inexpensive and works quite well.  Give it a try………I think you’ll like it!

…..Have you ever hit something real hard that was submerged in the river with your kayak and feared you might have gouged or cracked it?  Well this has happened to me more times than I remember!!  So I could keep kayak fishing, I had to learn to repair my kayak myself.  This video will hopefully share what I have learned and help you somewhere down the road to do the same. It could also save you some $$$.
