Nothing lasts forever. The stock tank well bungee is falling apart. The sun and weather degrades the bungee over time. In turn the degrading of the bungee made it become very loose and fragile. Purchased a piece of green shock cord/bungee last year but finally got around to getting it on the Cuda 14 this weekend. Although the green I ordered came in as yellow I didn’t mind at all.  Actually it looks really cool!

I originally purchased 10′ of the bungee shock cord. Used about a foot and a half for my crate project last year.  What i had left was just enough to replace the tank well bungee. I would recommend that you purchase 10 feet for the Cuda. This way you can cut off any excess.  Being that it looks really cool on my next boat i will have to find 3/16″ bungee for the bow in yellow!.

I have to say it does add character.

I do hope it holds up well.

Yep time to retire the good ol’ Bio-hazard Cuda I have been fishing out of the past 2 years. Going to miss that boat. Haven’t decided to keep it or sell it. There’s just a lot of rigging that has to go with the boat there.

So i may just keep it for a season as my spare boat. Or just sell it in the early spring.

Anyway to the left here is my custom color combination! I hope the factory can get the black on the sides in the bow areas there. That will really make the Yak Chum logo pop! This custom color comes from Jackson’s brand new standard color called Green Hornet. The standard Green Hornet color consists of Neon Green Black and Blue mix.  My custom only replaces the blue with yellow.

Was going to order the standard color since it looks awesome but as i was playing in Photoshop to the left here is what happened. To the right here is the original Green Hornet Color which is also awesome!!

Anyway i am looking forward to the new boat. I will post the rigging ideas and projects for all of my readers asap.

The new boat will be rigged with Yak Attack, RAM Mounts, and Yak Gear!

Looking forward to it again this year. The Kayak Fishing Store doods do a great job putting this event together. This will be my 3rd in attendance but the 4th annual. Always a good time. Planning on fishing nights mostly on this one for a change. Never had much luck as I rarely fish this area due to the distance away from my home base. It has become an annual thing along with the Jamboree.

What is a Jamboree? The word means a gathering. It is used in boyscouts for theyr national and world get together’s. For us its just a bunch for Kayak Anglers getting together hanging out camping eating fishing and having fun!

I am planning on arriving by noon time as i have to stop by Jersey Paddler to pick up a demo Jackson Big Tuna for a couple of veterans with service dogs to test out. The NE Florida HOW Chapter loves the Jackson Big Tuna for this reason. Being a Jackson Fishing Team member I hope the Big Tuna works for our veterans.

Anyway hope to see you all there and even meet new people as that always happens. Stop by the RV’s at the Camp Ground. Should be there. If not see you out on the water.
