Thanks.... definitely gave me some ideas.
Right on Mark, Glad I could add some value.
Guy says I ain’t here to beg likes…liked 👍
Love it. Some of these guys give would be anglers the idea you have to have a $20k boat packed with gadgets to go on the water and have a blast catching fish! NOT TRUE.Nice to find a realistic fishing channel.
Thanks WeavesSpells.... I appreciate it.
All you need is a boat and one rod. I actually enjoy fishing from my paddle board more which was about $450 I think. I just take some Senkos and Flukes since you can fish them both off the same hook. It's nice to focus on fishing instead of fishing gear!
@@farstrider79 well said! Tight lines!!
@@misswinchester0013 Same to you!
Spell weavers enjoy realistic fishing videos?
OK. Great informative videossss. I just went from one to another as I am thinking about buying a kayak again. Haven’t had one for forty years but loved it then. Did some crazy shit back then, surfing, rapids and all that but just want to enjoy the quiet and do some fishing now. Great tips and reminders. Thanks so much. Now to find a kayak that suits my wants and needs.
Wow straight to the point no music long bs intro just legit info. Nice. Liked it n shared it.
Thanks boss.... I do my best to skip over all of the stuff I hate as well
This video is great. Thank you for sharing this list !!
Heck Yeah Brother! GET SOME!
Let the content speak for itself...no reason to ask for the likes and subs with great content like yours! Always enjoy the videos
Thanks boss!
Great video! I learned a lot of helpful things in this video. Thanks for your channel!!
Glad to hear it!
Great idea for a video, and very well executed!
Thanks boss!
Thanks, saw some stuff that I need.
Hey Robert, happy I could add some value!
Love it! Very practical!
Thanks Kevin, Grab any trout lately?
@@wendellfishing Missed the Steelhead runs at TrailHead. Eagle Creek North keeps the Zionsville fly fisherman busy! I’m a slow adopter to kayak fishing… last year I installed a rooftop adapter (cross bars) for the Jeep to be ready for a kayak mount… yeah, slow adopter! I’ll keep watching until you break me down. Glad to see the channel growing!
@@HopeInitiatives Right on! Let me know when you grab a yak! I have some videos coming out on buying fishing kayaks and inspection guides for buying used.
Thanks for the ideas. Me and my son are new to kayaking.
My pleasure Robin! Reach out anytime if you have any questions!
Love your videos. Keep em coming. Perhaps do one on deep water re-entry on kayak since it addresses the single biggest risk to all kayak fishermen
Flights, its definitely on my lift of videos this summer. The water where I'm at is still 45 degrees :)
I know others have mentioned this but the retractable dog leash is an awesome idea I haven't seen before.
Right on Kevin.. Glad it was helpful!
Those same $6 storage boxes you showed are also great for storing your battery for a fish finder. That's where I keep mine and it's in my milk crate behind my seat.
Boom!
nice tips!
Thanks Cowman!
Wow! Great idea’s. Just ordered my Autopilot 136. Good info!
Right on.. that's a sick rig. Congrats!
these are pretty damn neat, I may try some of these
Thanks Briz.. have fun and let me know how they turn out
Some states actually require you to have either an air horn or a loud whistle on your boat per regulations so the cheap air horn is a great one to throw into the milk crate. There can also be regulations for running lights before dawn and after dusk so the LEDs are a great option. Just remember that you need a green (right side) and a red one (left side). Always love finding Walmart hacks. Great video.
Thanks Jeff... great add and I have another Walmart video in the works.
Due to a kayaks speed and size and 360' white light is legal. I have one on top of my orange flag. It's from Yak Attak
Dude your awesome. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub Nikkahnic!
Thank you sir
Right on Jill & Paul! Good luck out there.
Another idea for an anchor is a retractable indoor/outdoor clothesline
Right on... that might make my 2nd video. Thanks Jesse!
With the terry cloth, you just gave me an idea to buy a golf towel. They have a metal ring to attach to the carabiner.
Great idea
Retractable clothes line works great. Remove the old line, and replace with paracord wonderful retractable anchor.
Right on brother !
Guys a frickin genious. I like hacks but some of this I never thought of. Only thing I wouldnt use is the dog lead
Thanks boss! Glad they were helpful!
@@wendellfishing ye man personally I think I weigh to much for a dog lead to anchor me. How does the LED setup work? Do you have a video on that? Im sure I could DIY something but it would be cool to see it done
Great video. Never heard of a few of those ideas. Where in NE Ohio? I'm in Berea! Thanks for the video. Going to subscribe and check out your other videos!!
Thanks Aaron... I'm from the Hartville area... just north of Canton and South of Akron
Motorcycle cargo nets in the automotive aisle. Perfect over your milk crate
Solid tip Thomas! Thanks.
Behind the seat backpack! Can't believe I missed that. I think my behind the seat cooler might be too big for it though. I bought a little pack that sits above the cooler but not much space in it and not very secure closing.
Right on TJ!
Any 304 spray? 😀
Great vid!
Look for an ash tray
Ahhhhh the bungee mesh will be great to keep my pool noodle pvc jugs nice and tight to save space. Im using milwaukee packout stuff as a kayak crate and have their crate locked on top of their toolbox. It's expensive but they have a pretty cool setup that can be used for tackleboxes and gear. fits great in the back of the old town pdl 120. They even have cooler and first aid boxes. Everything locked into each other as well as being water resistant.
I love me some pack outs!
Just bought a fishing kayak earlier with oars . Thanks
Right on Tom, You are going to love it!
Garden gloves are great for gripping fish.
Right on TW
I have the kayak above his head at 3:53 and it’s amazing
Nick, for the money… if you love it… then you got a deal!
The little 12 v are usually in the hunting isle. Think they are used r for feeders or the cams they use. Great video.
CyberYaker, Thanks for the tip boss!
They used to be, now they seem to only carry 6v. Atleast at my walmarts
I have a sudden urge to hit-up Walmart right now 👍
Love it!
the dog leash...... wow. Thank you.
Right on Dehrik
Yessss! I soo wish the UK had Walmarts, Asda is not the same.
I will file a formal complaint with the UK. That should get that moving :)
I love your videos...
Thanks boss!
About a have a year ago I bought a cheap back pack off of walmart for my fishing gear and it has worked great 👍🏻
Alll day! Love it Sawyer
The retractable dog leash anchor idea is freaking phenomenal. I'm totally going to do that
Right on David.. let me know how it works for ya
Harbor Frieght sells a 24ft one for $6.
Great ideas man! ...I'm gunna go buy me an air-horn for my inflatable dinghy.
Right on Herman, better safe than sorry.
What under seat storage do you use? The one with the pullout trays?
I got you.. here ya go: geni.us/CrafstmanVersastack
go to the tool section for a headlamp. hyper tough brand has one for $16. i just bought one. it works great.
Right on Brian... Thanks for the add!
Brand new to kayaking..love ur channel. Actually ha my maiden Voyage. Any inflatable specific content? Although alot of ur stuff crosses over. Oh! And any hacks for waterproof floating dry box. See name brands for qhat I consider kinda expensive
Hey PG, I don't have anything inflatable specific. I've never owned one (I do have a belly boat) but somewhat different. Waterproofing a drybox. I actually have been thinking about a video for this to protect my new nocua battery. Stay tuned on that one.
Thanks. Quick question: Which anchor do you attack to the end of the dog leash?
Depends on how big your kayak is
I have a custom anchor but my dad is a machinist so unfair. But Most kayakers use a 1 1/2- to 3-pound folding grapnel anchor
5 lb kettlebell.
5:52 You should have talked about the cigar V-cutter. I assume its for cigars but does it also work on cutting line?
Sounds like that would work. I like toenail clippers on a leash but a V-cut cigar cutter would work as well
Just got my first kyak thanks for the tips new sub here
Welcome aboard brother!
Flex Tape or Gorilla Tape can also patch a small hole or crack in a kayak in an emergency.
Right on.. thanks for the add Todd!
I used flex tape for a couple of pretty bad crack in a bucket that I really needed that day for work and I didn't have time to go get a new one. That was a few months ago and I still use that bucket.
Headlamps you gotta go with a rechargable one and take a power bank with you. Petzl and Black diamond are great brands.
Right on TJ!
I like to have a squeeze clamp on 550 cord so I can quickly grab on limbs when crappie fishing timber. Find them in hardware
Right on Bob!
Good list i like it might pick some of these up for my yak. Just a heads up anybody seeing these my buddy had a auto inflate pfd lost his lower unit few months ago and his pfd didnt inflate him and his pops almost drowned luckily the cord made it inflate. Since then i switch to a good kayak pfd dont go cheap on the important stuff
Holy crap.. was it USCG approved or one of those you buy on Amazon from China?
@@wendellfishing yeah uscg approved mustang auto inflate
Don’t forget the $2 Fiskars kids scissors. Works great for cutting braid.
I just stole my wife's titanium blades :)
I have bought small plastic containers and paracord and other items from $1 Store. Great find fishing channel in Ohio! I am in Columbus
Nice... I need to do a video from the $1 Store next!
@@wendellfishing you should! That cord was 40ft. They have small backpacks right now and those containers fit in my life jacket, I have one for slip bobber rigs...just without the bobber.. worked great on last outing got 20 crappie that day
@@lehmusic2675 solid
Man this was a good video but what to buy for your kayak. I have a lot of those things. This was a perfect timing video cuz it just reminded me that I need to make some flip flop leashes for me & my 6 boys because all 6 of my son's have very wide feet & i have very very extremely wide feet & we all have to kayak Barefooted 👣 style. I would like to try to find some wide sandals that we can wear while kayaking. Me & my 6 boys don't mind being barefooted 👣 because we are Barefooted 👣 95% of the time but it would be nice to have some type of sandals on for when we have to get out and walk in the water & not tear up our wide feet we have. My wife loves mine and my six boys wide feet for some reason & she wants us to take protect are feet out there. This was a good video & thank you for reminding me and sharing this video.
Thanks Mack! Appreciate it and flip flop leashes sound like a good idea for me.
@@wendellfishing you're welcome man. Yeah you should try the flip-flop leash I think you'll like it. It's a good way to hold your flip flops if you want to be barefooted 👣 while kayaking. I lost #1. of my flip-flop today while kayaking cuz I leaned over too far in the flop fell in the water and the current took the Flop into the trees and it took a half an hour to get it out of the trees so a flip-flop leash would be good. I made some for my family right around October or so and I don't know where I placed the bag so i got to go back to Walmart and get me some 550 cord and some carabiner and make me some more.
@@mackjenkins7721 Right on!
That MOLLE (pronounced Molly) backpack needs to have an IFAK. You can weave it right into the webbing on the front.
Right on brother
How'd you miss the retractable clothing line for anchoring?
I didn't! It was the first hack at 18 seconds :)
@@wendellfishing You had the dog leash though, the clothing line anchors at walmart hold a lot more line on them. I think like 50'.
@@tjtewshews5531 Ahh.. right on
19? Couldn’t hit an even 20? 😂 Great video man
Yosdad, you know, interestingly enough, 19 was strategic as studies show that the CTR for odd numbers in list is higher of that of even numbers. It's weird but I play the game :)
@@wendellfishing at least there was a method to the madness
20. If your seating area isn't limited and you have a well opening to get under the seat purchase the folding boat seat, make a seat template to pattern the bolt up holes onto your kayak measuring for seat center & leg length, drill holes, bolt up seat using large washers the larger the better to have a better anchored seat. Make sure you've double checked measurements for centering and leg length before drilling holes.
@@casper3130 great idea.. thanks for the add

Now we're talking Heath.
Walmart has a fishing vest from body glove. Like Nrs chinooks just cheaper
Thanks Andrew.... do you own it? How do you like it?
@@wendellfishing yes you can see me wearing it in a few videos on Higgs fishing channel. Sorry for the bad plug for my friends page lol
@@wildmanreed lol... it's all good
This isn't a walmart hack ( unless walmart carries it) but Niteize has a cell phone tether card with a tiny key ring attached that you put under your phone inside your phone case and out of the charging port hole. Then you clip the bungee that comes with it onto the inside of your pfd pocket ( if you have one) and the other end to the ring. No more phone holder tethers that you can't even see your screen through. I just leave it in my phone case at all times. Have had it for almost 2 years now. I can't believe I haven't seen anyone in the kayak world talking about it.
You talking about this one? www.westmarine.com/nite-ize-hitch---phone-anchor-tether-19273697.html?&PMax:%20GSC%3eSmart_Shopping%3eElectronics%20&%20Navigation&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0oagBhDHARIsAI-BbgdcyWjd9-JgLRpiBoMxnL4CXBb8YyYYUz8YRuLo9UTHFYvX_xBBhiMaAgKsEALw_wcB
Bro I thought Dane Cook the X-comedian done started a CZcams fishing channel from the thumbnail pic 🤣
lol.. whatever happened to that dude?
Man not sure I saw his show live 2 times, once in New Orleans and once in Houston TX. Love the channel bud.
@@The_Bass_Stunters Thanks boss.. glad it proving to be useful. I think I learn more than anyone!
Some great ideas however one critique, dont let the fish beat the hell out of itsself inside your boat. Just get a strong enough line that you can get them in the net or quickly put them on a gripper and put them back in the water while you get your cloth or gloves or whatever you want.
That's fair.. something I usually do but need to stay consistent
Whos that crazy fishing guy in isle 4 talking to himself 😅😅😅
lol.. big facts
303 Graphene isnt the same as the 303 aerospace protectant
I'm going to put a link for the Aerospace in the description. Thanks for the add
I can confirm those life jackets definitely inflate when you get in while wearing one! 😂
Lol… I always wondered if they are pretty violent when they open?
@@wendellfishing no I wouldn't say violent, but jarring if you're not expecting it. 😂 I was recording when it happened if you want to see. Lol 😂
@@CarolinaBassHunter I actually want to see.. Can you send me the link?

That walmart carries significantly more stuff than mine does lol
I keep hearing that!
Use Rain X on your camera to avoid water spots
Solid tip Jeromy!
Our Walmarts don’t have half of what I just saw in your Walmart. Dang.
ugh.. sorry man. Where you located?
Northern Kentucky!
any good hot wheels there?
I'll check
Con of dog leash I fish saltwater and it’ll mess up within a week.
true story there
I do hope the Walton family is writing you a check.
Oh checks are being written, but not from Walmart.
@@wendellfishing Never understood why anyone would give some huge corporation a free plug by making a video showcasing them or paying money to buy their t shirt and wearing it. Don't turn yourself into a billboard for some company unless they are paying you.
@@BurningtunaDC That's one way to look at it. I made it because I believe it would provide value to the Wendell Fishing Community.
How much weight can a dog leash pick up
quick research says between 45 -110 lbs depending on the retractible leash
@@wendellfishing I don't think that's true. I have a big leash for my german shepherd and it can't pick up my chihuahua.
@@garysmith7832 Yeah.. quick research on my end. Could be taking into consideration all kinds of variables.
@@wendellfishing I have a fat dog.
@@garysmith7832 lol
so you walked around WalleyWorld and looked at things that might make kayak fishing better but never bought a single item or showed us a practical application? damn im in the wrong business!!! lmao
I own most of the products I referenced and have done practical application videos on them already. Many of which are referenced.
Just be aware, salt water will destroy about 95% of these Walmart items. They are cost effective, but you'll likely be replacing them every year. Products specifically for boating/fishing in the salt are comprised of stainless steels, graphite bodies, durable canvas and heavy plastic zippers (as opposed to mild steel or aluminum zippers with pot-metal pulls). There is a HUGE difference in quality. I especially think that the retractable dog leash for an anchor rode is an unsafe option. Those will rot out on the inside or at the clasp and will likely fail at the worst moment. Also bear in mind that the inflatable vests are only valid as a PFD when worn, these will not meet the USCG safety minimums when stowed only.
Thanks Kevin, but your comments on the inflatable vest not being valid unless worn is not entirely true. It depends on the state. For Ohio where I live.. it just has to be USCG approved and doesn't have to be worn. paddlecamp.com/kayak-life-jacket-laws-by-state/#:~:text=Kayak%20life%20jacket%20law%3A%20Anyone,they%20are%20in%20the%20vessel.
Everyone can’t always afford the top-tier, best gear for everything. It’s okay to find ways to fit hobbies into your budget, even if you’re not able to spend $60 on under-seat tackle storage. It seems like that was the point of the video; you don’t have to be rich to enjoy a sport/hobby.
Wow, looks a LOT like a video I just watched, made 2 years before yours. I guy goes to Walmart for "kayak hacks" and gets a lot of the same exact things you did. what are the chances?
I have come to the conclusion that you can find the same content from around 10 different content creators... just with a different flavor.
Kayak mods are endless....
$20 Mole bag???
Pool noodles at dollar general
Right on Mikey!
Molle bag I’d pronounced mall-e fyi
😊
Thanks boss!
Never been in a Walmart with everything in this video.
I need to go to Ohio because California Walmarts don't have anything.
Joseph, they don't call Ohio the "Caribbean of the Midwest" for nothing!
a pdf? what's a pdf?
Lol.. I do that all of the time.
It’s a personal device for flotation…. There ya go
@@wendellfishing the correct term is pfd though. Personal Floatation Device.
Looking a flag pole hack
Mmmm. let me think on this one
@@wendellfishing I have a small State of Ohio boat flag, I want on before I have a chance to kayak fish St. CLAIR LoL
I use a old broken fishing rod, take the eyes off except the next to last one, sewed up some fluorescent orange cloth (from Walmart)and slide over top of the rod. Zip tied the rod to the crate.
@@chrislockard8176 yup, I did that also recently, I have a State of Ohio flag on mine
97 cent kitchen shears at Walmart.
Right on Wink…. I always have a pair of titanium scissors on my yak

Thanks McKraken!
Carrying far too much on your kayak . Just buy a boat . Sorted 😂

Dog leashes rust terribly
You fish saltwater?
The Walmarts in Canada have none of these things. Basic stuff at Walmarts in America you can’t get in Canada. Walmart in Canada is actually pathetic. They carry virtually nothing but clothes and groceries. Walmart in Canada is actually embarrassing. I can’t get any of these basics at Walmart in canada. They barely carry any of their own branded outdoor gear. I hate Walmart canada, Canadian tire is our store for almost everything with this stuff. Liking the vids I’ve been watching, have fun fishing
Sorry about your selection boss. But thanks for stopping by the channel
Always anchor front or rear. Never off the side. Side anchoring or tying off will capsize you if the water is moving or the wind is blowing. Retractable clothesline is almost always longer than the dog leashes, but usually requires more work to get it setup on a kayak. You can never have enough bungie cords or carabiners. Water in your kayak? lol. It's an SOT, take out the scupper plugs. That's what the holes are for. Sponges and pumps are for touring kayakers ;) Besides, half the point of kayak fishing is getting wet ;) Hey that tow line, you can tie it to a clamp, like you were questioning in your other video, and clamp to a tree, bush, dock, pole, or whatever is available to hold you in place by the bank. Just like with an anchor, do bow or stern, not side.
Thanks TC, usually just fish lakes in my pedal powered kayak so that may bring some insight on why I was not a fan of the brush gripper, but I can definitely see how others would find it useful in their specific scenarios. Good point on the anchor!
@@wendellfishing Wendell, that guy probably never heard of a Yak attack anchor trolley , I installed a deluxe one before my Tamarack pro hit it ever the water. Works great when the wind kicks in at Kiser Lake, St. Paris, Ohio.
Dog leash works well for the first couple trips, then the salt starts to corrode the hell out of the cheap internals. Horrible idea.
Yeah, I would imagine if you applied it to saltwater. Freshwater solution for sure. Use it all the time.
@@wendellfishing look into retractable clothes lines , saw a video on it and dude had one that was like 50ft and alot sturdier than a dog leash
Get the stainless clips. They’ll last longer.
Solid add.. thanks Rich
