This is perfect because I literally just got a fishing kayak
Awesome. Yak fishing is a blast. Which yak did you get?
@@SeaSpankerOutdoorsit was a lifeline kayak, I’m not sure the exact model but I got it off Facebook and it came with a lot of goodies. Three rod holders, a net, a live bait holder, and little dolly to stroll the kayak. Only for 250
And a paddle !
@@chinito6715 very nice. It will definitely get the job done. Get it out there 🤘
That sounds nice, but nothing compares to having a river by the house on a wild trout stream. It's amazing to see stocked fish laying eggs and creating a thriving ecosystem. The best part? No one uses jigs. I used to live in California, but I got tired of the seasonal trout fishing every six months-it got boring since the trout would just die off. A kayak can be useful in lakes, but a stream is quintessential for trout fishing. It's practically a trademark for trout: wild, cold streams are as authentic as it gets!

Sounds awesome. Im hoping to move outta state in the next few years 🤞. Este and I have a trip planned in august that should provide some content along those lines 🤘
Fr Rob, If you work for the state and receive a pension, moving to a lower-cost state could help you save more money compared to living in Southern California. The cost of living there, from groceries to income tax deductions, is incredibly high. It's tough for the middle class to catch a break in California, regardless of who's in office!
I have the 136, never regretted, I converted a $400 Harbor Freight trailer for about $550. Best $$ I have spent on fishing.
They did improve, they have a Peddle/motor drive, abut $$$$$$$$$
Thanks for the video
I just sold my boat and bought a second 120. I almost got a 136 but I knew if I had 2 different sizes Id have a problem deciding which one to take out each day and then id have to set the new one up with all the gear I have on the first one lol
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors I'm addicted
@@markskibo5159 haha yup agreed
This is the most comprehensive video I've seen and I'm sure it took some time and thought in putting this together. So much to accessorize and the $$! I'm considering of getting an Hobie itrek 9, but love that Autopilot. I'm torn! Appreciate you sharing your setup.
Thanks I appreciate it. That Hobie is a cool little boat for sure. Id like to try one out sometime. The only issue I can think of with that platform is wind. With the waves washing over it if be afraid of loosing gear but in calm weather I bet its a blast
That is one fine Caddi-yak.🤘
Haha they are really nice little boats for sure 🤘
Hey Rob,,, thanks for the video and sticking true to your word.
No worries at all. Im really trying to get all the info out there I can 🤘
Clean setup 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Great video Rob. Love the yak. Actually, I figured with all the attachments it would have been 10 grand. Beautiful set up!
Thanks but its pretty close to 10 😬🤣
Awesome job once again!
Thanks brother 🤘
Another great video Rob. A lot of information on there.
Thanks I really appreciate it 🙏
Awesome setup! 🔥
Thanks brother 🤘
Sick setup Rob! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks brother 🤘
Great video, another thing to add to the bucket list!
They definitely are great little boats
Awesome set-up……… Thanks for the breakdown!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Great video!!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Excellent set up, perfect for fishing!!
Spank great video. Would you think about getting the bigger yak or is the one you have just the perfect size.
I actually just bought a second 120 and was looking at the 136 but for what I do and at my size the 120 is plenty big. Id be looking more at the 136 if I did more ocean stuff for sure
Hey Rob, haven't ran into you this past season at the Mud Hole or Hesperia Lake. But anyways, I was just wondering if you have to get the kayak registered (like a boat) with DMV? I know the trailor has to get registered tho.
Yes. Any watercraft with a motor has to be registered. Good news is its a fairly simple process and there are lots of videos on CZcams that show you how to do it 🤘
Great Video, do you need a CA Boating card to operate? I see it's licensed in Ca. Great set up.
I already have my card as I used to own a boat but Im not totally sure if you need one for the yak. Im leaning toward yes since it has a motor and is registered
I just looked it up. If it has a motor you need a boater license
Ok, I did more research. Turns out you dont need one for a motorized kayak as long as the motor is less than 15HP. Those trolling motors are nowhere near 15HP
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors Thanks for all of the research brother. You never know in good ol Ca, much appreciated.
What trailer did u get?
The malone micro sport low bed 2 kayak trailer. Really nice trailer. They also sell a single kayak version a.co/d/0d5BMt00
So you giving up the tube?
Lol absolutely not sir
Bad ass yak...does the seat swivel 360? Tight lines bud
No unfortunately
I wish it did. Maybe an add on in the future 🤞
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors hey rob where did you get that back up prop..I want to make a Lil motor for my tube with a cordless drill
@@donaldstephensen8654 i got it on Amazon here is the link 1 - ACCESSORY, MINN KOTA MKP-2 PROP www.amazon.com/dp/B00PHZK044?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors thanks bud
The remote is seriously not waterproof? W-T-F? That is some terrible engineering. Something very likely to get wet and/or submerged no matter how careful you are. Especially on a Yak.
Yeah I think its the one thing they overlooked when changing the motor around for a yak. Probably a huge expense to minn kota as the trolling motors with spot lock were originally designed for boats. That will probably be a future upgrade haha
