- Kayak bass fishing at Buck Lake in Hansville Washington in an Old Town 106 Pdl.
08:18 - Kodi catches giant bass
This is the first time going kayak fishing by myself. Getting this large kayak off and on the car can be a little tricky, as well as getting it down to the water. I figured out a few tricks to make it doable by myself and decided to have a go at it.
Here are some links to stuff in the video for those interested.

2 words for you...Anchor-Wizard, its a game changer.
It's definitely on my list! I opted for the 20$ one on Amazon to be a placeholder until more fun money comes into play
Loved this.
Next time I would park even a little farther away 😅
It was my first time there, didnt know about the boat ramp on the right (if thats what you're referring to 😀 )
Congratulations!
Thank you!
just ordered a sportsman 120 pdl. good content dude keep up the good work!
You got some good times ahead my friend! Look forward to seeing some videos on it!
Wow, what a beautiful lake. Where are you guy’s. Great video buddy, you guys definitely looked like you enjoyed yourselves
Kim said that she likes it how you went out solo in todays video but spent the whole time talking about Kodi 😂
I just missed him so much 💔
😂

Side imaging is amazing for a kayak to help find structure faster and eliminate dead water quicker. Helix 7 side imaging is worth every penny
Just looked that up... whoa, that would be so sick. I got a few things needed first, but honestly, I just may take your advice on that one. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@NWTrailSeries I have this fish finder, and it is amazing!
If you do get one, run a 10AH or higher lithium battery on it
Good job bro. I have an Autopilot, so I know Old Towns are rugged, strong, and heavy. I spent my 1st season on a small 500 acre lake. Nine minutes is awesome!! 🌊 🛶 🎣
Thank you!
I'm sure glad to have the pedal drive, but on those bigger lakes... I think about my choice not to get the AP a lot.
@@NWTrailSeries I actually just purchased mine in March 2023. I loved my PDL drive 120. I purchased a nice Harbor freight trailer. And it stays on the trailer in my garage. After I rinse it down. But any 120 Oldtown, is heavy. But I think they're best boats out there. Stay safe my friend. 🙏 🌊 🛶
You should do a review on it!
Fun video, love the catch and release, Wet your hand before grabbing fish to prevent fish from losing protective scales.
I didn't know that!
I will do it in the future. Thanks for letting me know!
fun H20 drinking game - take a drink of water every time he shouts out kodi
Ya know.. I was hoping no one would notice. Even kodi (
@@NWTrailSeries nothing wrong with a bro crush dude. You seem to compare sizes with kodi alot. jk, just kodi-ing
We get it you missed your buddy Kody lol, also try using crank baits and top water for bass always have good luck with those!
We both got into fishing at the same time. I felt unfaithful, the guilt was obviously eating me up lol. Plus.. he was at work...
On Tuesday we are trying some crank baits and top water for the first time. (Funny you should mention) any specific crankbaits you recommend? Figured we would get get an early start and try to have a little top water contest in the morning
Docks are the play on bright days
I'll be sticking to the docks this weekend. Minus the one where some crazy guy ran out and threatened us, probably gonna skip that dock 😀
@NWTrailSeries come to my part of the world, people mostly char my ear off, as I nail them. Best of luck
Isn't ther a fish finder app? For your phone.
Nice. I’m gonna do the same thing tomorrow. However, I don’t understand the reason for the water boots. That seems uncomfortable and heavy. A pair of river shoes is all you need
I did change to comfy shoes once I got out on the lake and avoided getting wet entirely. I got a bunch of lake sludge/scum in my river shoes last time I was out, and they just haven't ever smelled the same since. I'll try it out a few more times before giving too much more of an opinion, but so far, it feels like a pretty big upgrade.
WOW thats along way to roll your boat to get to the water me and the wife cannot do that
Turned out there was a boat launch on the other side of the lake... which I know now! 😀
@@NWTrailSeries I am a bit of a Luddite but once I figured out how to figure out where you were, it just confirmed my thought was, yeah, there’s a ramp around the corner. I live about 5 miles from there. I prefer bank fishing at PnP when it isn’t shoulder to shoulder
Since you don’t have a depth Finder, it may be more productive to rig your bait Texas style. You can work your bait slower and not snag on the unknown grass and logs.
I'm gonna a look into that a lot this year my friend. Thanks for the advice!

You don't need electronics, you need to learn how to fish topwater lures. Lot of spots here that scream for a plopper or a buzz bait.
I have added poppers to my arsenal, and am having great luck so far. Haven't tried a buzzbait yet though, ill add that too
@@NWTrailSeries That's great, I wish you success with topwater fishing, it's so much fun. If you are lucky enough to find places rarely fished, try a small whopper plopper it's really a bass magnet.
