Fantastic info, my buddy and I are buying our first kayaks this year. Keep all the tips comin friend.
Happy to help! What yaks are you looking at?
@@wendellfishing He's lookin to go more budget with a Catch Classic 100 from Pelican, and I'm willing to spend a bit more for stability. I'm lookin at the bonafide ss 127, but everything is still in the air for about 2 more weeks.
(happy to hear suggestions, his price is closer to 1k and i'm tryin to stay under 2)
@@viktorzolsar8873 Right on. I don't know a whole lot about those specific yaks but I did notice that they were paddle powered. Albeit more expensive, I would highly recommend a pedal powered kayak. You likely won't be able to get it under $2K unless you find one second hand. I've heard good things about the Bonafide though.
@@wendellfishing Understood, I appreciate the feedback.
@@viktorzolsar8873 I have a couple of kayaks and have been fishing out of them for years. The best tips that I can give to anyone looking to fish out of a kayak are these two things:
A quality anchor trolley run from bow to stern and a foot operated rudder.
Both of these items can be added to a kayak if it doesn’t already have them. I’ve installed rudders on 3 kayaks that weren’t made for them. It’s a pain sometimes getting them installed but if you’re mechanically inclined, you won’t have a problem.
The anchor trolley will allow you to position your yak how you want it to sit to fish a particular situation.
The rudder, in current, will allow your hands to be free to fish and not have to keep setting your rod down to grab your paddle and right the direction that your yak is turning. It also allows you to easily position yourself while floating in current to cast to specific spots, all the time your hands are free. In still water it’s beneficial on windy days while fishing.
It seems that there are many manufactures that put a couple of rod holders on a yak and call it a fishing kayak, not so. I have an Old Town Vapor Angler and they added a 2 foot long anchor trolley mounted in the back of the yak (that is totally useless), 2 rod holders and a dock cleat. They did this to a standard Vapor and called it a fishing kayak.
There are many other things to do to make fishing out of it enjoyable but to me, these two things are the most critical to aid in fishability.
One last thing. I really wanted a peddle kayak (and still do) when I bought my second yak but I ended up getting one with a built-in trolling motor (Old Town Predator Minn Kota) instead. The driving force that led me to this decision was that the peddle kayaks required you to turn using a hand operated lever (defeating a foot controlled rudder to leave your hands free to fish).
I don’t know if there are any companies out there making peddle kayaks that you can turn without using your hands but if there are, I’d definitely recommend a peddle kayak, if there aren’t, I would not recommend a peddle for fishing.
Obviously if you always anchor while fishing, this is a moot point but if fishing while moving, it’s much nicer to have your hands 100% free.
Tight lines!
In regards to the strap noise. To eliminate that noise, put a twist in the strap to stop the vibration. If you have big gaps where the straps won't make full contact, throw in a twist. My kayak takes 3 twists per strap to avoid the noise and vibration.
Right on... thanks for the tip Colby!
Hahaha that's what I do lolol
Came here to say this.👍🏼
Ye olde trucker tip... I've been telling all my yakking friends to throw a twirl wherever there's a 'void'
As a truck driver I can confirm your comment... a twist will stop strap vibration.
Glad I found this channel. I’m looking to get a kayak in a few weeks and your videos have helped me with a lot of ideas!
Right on.. thanks for reaching out and feel free to ask any questions along the way.
Thanks so much, getting into kayak fishing now - really helpful!
Happy to help. Thanks Michael!
Getting closer and closer to getting my first yak. Super pumped! Was able to use one this weekend and it made a world of difference. Your videos are very informative bro!!
Glad they are helpful.. just trying to lower the learning curve on kayak fishing. Glad they are helpful!
Thanks for the information. Thinking about buying my first one and enjoy some fishing.
No problem! You will absolutely love it.
Seriously getting one next year. Thanks for the video.
Right on Carlos.. I got a killer deal in the winter. Noone wants to store them
Informative ! Thank you
Glad it was helpful Ken!
Thanks man. Awesome info. Someone gotta do it
Right on Chris! Thanks
Another banger! Taking notes😅. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Boss! Hope it helps!
We are very grateful for your words of wisdom and actions.
Thanks!
Great job man, Thanks!
Thanks Brendan!
Great advice, thanks 😊
Thanks Liz!
Very professionally made video! Keep it up!
Appreciate it.... Slowly getting better.
Good information. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips and really good fast paced presentation, well done 👍
I appreciate it! Trying to dial in my thoughts and removing the fluff... Every video is getting better!
@@wendellfishing Yeah you got it nailed. It's incredibly difficult to deliver information at the right speed so it's not getting boring for the viewers. I'm struggling with that a lot.
Hey, just as long as your current video is 1% better than the last than your last then you are on the right track.
@@wendellfishing haha, yeah very true :)
My camo kayak does amazing in the creeks and and ponds that I fish without any boats Ever. I agree with the camo deal on Big reservoir's with 250 Mercury's flying around
Nice video
Right on... thanks tackle box breakdown
In Australia, our bass come right up to our kayaks to take lures dangling off the tips of our spare rods 😂
WHAT!?! I'm hopping on a plane
@detroit retro gamer drg313 I'll allow it
Yes, I have the same question haha Bass fishing here is too easy compared with other countries. Even land based, you can easily caught over 20 good size bass when it comes to the season.
Good video, great info.
Right on.. Thanks Justin
It can be helpful to fish your kayak a few times before you start rigging and adding assesories.
Many beginners add FF mounts, pole holders, and strap anchors only to find that they bang against them on evey paddle stroke, peddle rotation, or cast.
100%
At 4:26 you made me laugh so hard my eyes teared up. That face and little knowing laugh in your voice made me subscribe and ring the bell and like the video! AND I reckon I will have to wear an orange vest and have some orange flags because I like camo 😇
Thanks a ton! reach out anytime Maggie!
Loudest color I carry with me is my .44 mag lever action. No one has ever not seen me and or have enough time to avoid me. 😅 it's amazing, it's not even that bright lol suckered fits right in the real holder
Heyooo!
Did I missed it but I didn't see you mention a manual sump pump, that's critical to have on any kayak with a hull.
Very nice video. As I get ready for my first kayak fishing trip in South Texas (Braunig Lake) Having scanned a number of video's I catch glimpses of equipment but to be comfortable on the water fishing for the first time in Texas and the first time in a Kayak I would be interested in your suggestions for apparel. Obviously being comfortable, safe, not getting sunburnt, etc. would enhance the experience. I have yet to see anyone make a video on this subject. People talk poles and lures, never shoes or the gloves they wear.
Thanks
Arthur, thanks for letting me know this. I may start putting something together to cover this. You are right.. I don't see videos on it either. Appreciate it.
"Gator guards" awesome protection and relatively inexpensive ($20-30). Easy install also! Quiet things down... look for discounted yoga mats, cut to shape. Rubber wherever your trolling motor touches the wood.. helps with vibration and noise
Solid tip on the trolling motor but where are you seeing Gator Guard Keel Shields for $20-30? I would buy them at that price.. I only see them for $100+
@@wendellfishing They sell the keel guard/patch from $20-$70 depending upon the size. 3"x6" is a little small but works well where I drag the yaks up on to shore. Also makes an awesome repair when you use a UV light! Watched one 'yakker repair his nephews yak after squirrels got to it and was impressed!!
my solution for the flapping strap is to wrap the strap with a velcro strip so its round instead of flat. works great for me.
Makes sense… thanks for the add Gerald!
Thanks for the tips. Brand new.to Kayaking. (Inflatable...but hey it's a start)
Happy to help PG!
Solid points!
Thanks 704!
these are great tips
Thanks Miriam. Glad they were helpful!
Thanks man. We love to kayak fish. I’m a single momma of 2 sons. And we are always in the river in the summer. Definitely didn’t know about the protection part of the kayak. We have put ours through a rough life already but I’m getting schooled 😎
N M. Thanks for reaching out and your boys will always remember that time with you. Right on!
Another thing:
I always carry an extra pfd. Either a throwable one with a rope or another jacket. I may be wearing one, but the random guy near me may not be and if he falls in I'd rather not have to go in and save him, even though I'm lifeguard trained. Much safer to toss him a jacket or a tow.
A man with a plan
I dont know how to do deep water re-entry but i dont plan on venturing super far from shore and if i do fall out,ill try to swim my boat back in. I also have stabilizer floats.
So our kayak fishing club is very generous to newbies, most will offer you a chance to try out their kayaks. I have let people try mine out in the past, once I removed all of my fishing gear. Most people who have contacted our club about a particular kayak, have had multiple offers to try one out.
Now that's pretty awesome Mitch... thanks for sharing. This idea might make a future video!
Great tips. Earned yourself a new subscriber. Have a Jackson Kraken 15'7" yak. I feel, it's like a WWII Battleship, long and narrow but I love it. Too bad Jackson quit making it and the smaller 13"5" model.
Right on Frank... Appreciate the Sub and will continue to do all that I can to continue to bring value. A 15.7 yak is a long BEAST. My back hurts thinking about moving it :)
My dad and I bought two Ascend FS10 sit-in kayaks in 2016 (mine is camo green, his is slate gray). We bought them mainly due to horsepower restrictions on our favorite ponds, even though we have an electric trolling motor too. We rope them down in the bed of his truck. We have hand-powered pumps in case we spring a leak, which fortunately hasn't happened yet.
Right on Josh…. I’ve been trying to get my dad to buy one for years
Actually getting a FS10 Sit in as well!!!
For #8. Hi vis water proof tape along the sides can help with visibility
Solid tip! Thanks for the add!
I think the keel guard is the biggest thing I need, I do fish around a lot of sand and mud but I also have a lot of oyster beds that I come in contact with, I've looked at a few options but I think the Kevlar keel guard is the way to go. I watched your video a couple of times on the installation process, looks good to me. 👀
Right on! I've been happy with it so far and to be honest, have read many reviews of others who have used Kydex believe it's been good to them for years. Let me know if I can help at all.
thanks for getting right into it and not asking for a like or sub you just earned both
My man.. thanks boss!
Nice work. Nice video. Many thanks for sharing!!! I'll add to wear suitable clothes in order to avoid sun radiation and sun oil to protect your skin. Something else... put out the elastic plugs of the deck in order to avoid the flooding!!! I learned with the bud way....
Awesome video👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I live about a hour from Pittsburgh in Latrobe/ Ligonier Pa
Right on Daniel! We are about 3 hours from eachother
great video Sir you have a new subscriber from Ireland
Right on Joe.. welcome
I love the CAMO Kayak in the back....LOL
Lol… sometimes a good deal on FB Marketplace outweighs wisdom :)
I'm an Idiot, Bought a Camo yak, too good of a deal, now all my gear is safety orange!
@@KevinShank lol... and also good if you are fishing somewhere you shouldn't be :)
There’s a really sick mechanism that came out recently. It hangs in your window and has slats. Those slats are adjustable to either let light in or out. Way more advanced than pieces of fabric that you can hang in your windows to block sunlight.
Right on Dreson.. that would be great
Basic blinds at Walmart are like $10
Good advice
Thanks Pat, Appreciate it.
Nice video. For folks new to kayak fishing, make sure you check your local laws to find out if you need to license your kayak. That is a thing here in Ohio 🙂
Solid tip! Thanks for the add
Yup in Pennsylvania we have to have a launch permit to use it at sate game land lakes
Yay nanny state!
In Texas no license is required unless you motorize it with a trolling motor or any one of the electric kayak motors on the market which are quite expensive. Pedal drives are better and don’t require licensing.
That noise thing is important in gator country too. Had one pop up next to me yesterday.
I would win the race for the fastest kayaker of that happened to me.
@@wendellfishing 😂 Life in the South...but it always gets your heart pumping..
If there is one in your area, I would highly recommend booking a trip with a guide that offers kayak fishing trips. You'll learn things in a few hours that would take months or years of research and trial and error.
Good tip!
The tread tape works Ok… it’s gunna tear. It does come off a bit easier than other tapes. But I used an even heavier duty version. 3 mm thick. Used for outdoor concrete stairs tread. Again, works great. But! Need a thicker version , perhaps with a fiber mesh of some sort. Maybe Teflon or FG… many options. I work with epoxy, so in experimenting with that now that I have the hull forms made I can layer carbon fiber/FG/Teflon, heavy mesh ( even metal since this would be a layered compression mold) whatever.. kinda like making your own kydex. Not cheap I wouldn’t say but I already have epoxy & I even heard of folks making kydex/mycarta and such out of old jeans … hopefully something cool comes of it. Great video again sir
Thanks for the comment!
Great kayak for the price. Others spent 3x the price to get exactly what I have in this floater.
Right on!
Impressive Thank you
Happy to help!
if Ur thinking about getting a fishing kayak, do it!! I was hooked 5 mins on the water.
PREACH!
I’ve had it for 6 years now, going on 7. Thing is a workhorse. Caught a ton of fish, travelled literally hundreds of miles. It has wear. But the bungees still have elasticity, and there’s no sign of the boat stopping. 5/5.
Get some!!!! That's awesome!
Regarding visibility to other boaters, if you have a more natural colored kayak, you could also wear a high-visibility life jacket to stand out more.
True story there
great video !
Thanks Boss!
Hi man thx for the awesome video❤. Mistake#4: Was this keel damage a structural damage of the hull or only an optical damage which looks omly bad but no problem for the kayak structure?
And are you left-handed? If so how is steering and fighting the fish and/or currency or simply throwing when you are driving a kayak with the rudder on the left side?
The keel was just river rash.. but as you know.. too much it not good. I am not left handed. I don't even think about it anymore. It becomes second nature after a while.
Hello from Michigan. Great video!
FourWinns, Thanks boss.. I fish in Southern MI every year.. where ya from?
@@wendellfishing I'm originally from the Detroit area but I live near Cadillac now. I have a canal in my backyard that goes out to Lake Mitchell.
@@fourwinnsdummy You are living the dream if you have access like that!
@@wendellfishing I just bought an Old Town Auto Pilot 136 last year. As soon as it gets a bit warmer here I'm going to be installing an electronic system for lights and the eventual fish finder I want.
Nice!
Hey man you said you fish in NE Ohio I am also. NEO kayak fisherman, this is my second year kayak fishing may see you out this year!
Right on.. What lakes do you hit around here?
the strap will NOT vibrate if you add a couple twisis before you tie it up
Got my first used kayak no more climbing around the slick river bank for me... hopefully it'll help my troubled mind
The game just changed for you brother!
Camouflage kayaks perform double-duty during duck season.
As someone who was getting ready to transport a brand new old town kayak with ratchet straps I thank you 🙏
Safe travels!
tip...if you put a couple of twists on each side of you kayk in your tiedown straps, it will take that vibration/hum out of your strap.
Thanks for the tip! Makes sense
Put a couple of twists in straps and it will minimize strap vibration significantly.
Right on Gene.. thanks for the add
"I'm going to skip mentioning hitting the like button, subscribing, and hitting the bell." But I just mentioned them anyway all the same. 😂
Like that? :)
Hey great video. I’m new to fishing and I want to get back into kayaking. I haven’t done it since I was a teenager. I heard your in north east Ohio in this video. I’m in that area.
Right on Mike... I'm out of Hartville.. where you at?
@@wendellfishing Struthers. Right outside of Youngstown. I grew up on Berlin lake in the summertime.
Which kayak would be best birthday present for self. I've been in a 2 person but I want the good flippi g resistance.
Rodney, Great question… what’s your budget? Pedal or Paddle powered? Your weight? Wha body of water do you primarily fish?
Just in lakes, around 600 for budget, weigh 170 5 ft 4. I'm a beginner so I want to be as steady as possible
Also get a bigger boat than you think you’ll need. I bought a 10’ fishing kayak and have found it woefully inadequate.
Ha! I have a 10… but would like a 12… so you are correct :)
When using g straps o. Top of car you will jotice the vibration of the straps easy fix twist the strap 1 or 2 times will reduce the noise and vibration alot
Right on
Love the channel…and brand new sub here…
Gotta take STRONG exception on one point of gear mentioned….
The YAK ATTACK SAFETY FLAG.
That price is INSANE…. And believe me, I love my Omega rod holders and cup holders from them!
So I’m of same belief you are…. Hack it where you can.
And the flag? Well it’s begging for a hack. A Walmart bicycle flag or anything of the like, mounted in your choice of methods, depending on your yak.
This is a mod I did for about …. EIGHTY FIVE DOLLARS LESS THAN YAK ATTACKS FLAG KIT!
Other than that? Amazing content sir!
Been devouring it tonight, and will share it with friends!
Peace and tight lines sir!
Thanks for reaching out boss! I would agree with you. I need to do a video on that hack because the safety flag is $$$. Good feedback! Reach out anytime! Kayak fishing is life!
As far as color goes, if boat traffic isn’t an issue, your best bet is blue camo…it’s the closest camo you’ll have against the sky. It’s not going to do anything for shadows, etc…but it’s better than showing up to the same spot twice a week with an enormous, pink, flashing beacon of “IM HERE TO CATCH YOU, FISH”
That blue camo color is solid. I could handle that
I have a 70 lb fishing kayak I’ve used it for about 4 years flat water lakes. I want to put a trolling on it looking for suggestions on thrust and battery.
I don't personally have a motor on my Yak.. but I have some members of the community who love these: www.amazon.com/Newport-Vessels-Brushless-Kayak-Motor/dp/B08VWG8N8P
cover it with a tarp. love the channel
Thanks boss.. and thanks for the add
Hmm.. I wonder if some roll on truck bed liner would work for a keel guard. Like Line-X or Rhino Liner.
The issue you may run into is the bond to the HDPE.... Let me know what you come up with.. I'm interested
I've considered using the spray on truck bed liner as a keel guard but a lot of people poo poo bed liner on forums.
Yeah... I would agree.. it's garbage. This is the best DIY option I could come up with.. Hope it helps: czcams.com/video/gWgDEaZalbk/video.html
@@wendellfishing I actually ended up designing and 3d printing a mount for skateboard wheel on my keel.
@@kyleo1236 Like a Boss!
Always put a twist in your straps. It keeps it from vibrating in the wind. Truckers know that trick . Notice the straps on the trucks.
Right on Frank. Thanks for the add!
I bought some lights to throw on my kayak and I got a reflective bright orange flag on the back
Nice! Be safe out there boss
Do u fish on Nims? I heard bald eagle, and thats the lake i was thinking. I fish there alot, maybe i will run into ya. I dig the videos. Thanks!
Yessir! I’m the one on the camo Bonafide P127 with black and red kayak crate. What rig do you run?
@@wendellfishing I had a SS127 just recently got a P127. Hopefully i will meet ya. Small world!
@@wendellfishing I was fishing topwater on Nims two years ago and had an Eagle swoop down and try to get my Evergreen Shower Blows lure. Crazy experience. I use the One Objective Keel Guard on my Bonafides. I found out that 303 doesn’t work well with adhesive for the guard. So I cleaned the keel off with acetone before installing the guards.
Also I don’t like on the water and I have to drag my kayak will that mess it up or is there like a trailer for it
Try looking up "Landing Gear"
What's your location? I'm in Youngstown?
I mostly fish mosquito or the mahoning river sometimes I'll go to Eldon Russell on the Cuyahoga too great pike fishing there
Hey David, I'm over here in the Hartville area so I fish Mogadore a lot! Let me know if you are ever over this way
Awesome I've never been to mogadore but I used to go to west branch alot in my boat haven't had the yak out there yet. I'll keep in touch
@@davidmanevich1040 Right on
I use a Mana-Ray 14 Native and I store it under my carport every day it's not in use Can you tell me if that's a good one The price I only paid $200. for it at the time But I have a trolling motor and scotty rod holders and a striker 4 fish finder on it I don't have the best paddle for it I'm going to buy me a good one like the one you was showing on this video I just hope I didn't go wrong on the price O and I did put the keel Guard you was talking about using me heat gun to form it Thanks man Central Indiana here Randolph County Great Video man
I would say that if you got any kayak for $200 then someone should call the cops because that is a steal. Its a big boat but you definitely have a ton of storage on that bad boy. Sound like you have a fishing machine... now us Midwesterners just need to wait until spring.
Hey how did the gorilla tape hold up?
I’m thinking about going that route to see if I can protect the bottom of my yak
I didn't end up putting it on my Sun Dolphin because I don't use that yak but a couple times a year as a buddy kayak. Didn't warrant the tape. I honestly don't believe that Gorilla tape will hold up for the weekend warrior. I did another video on a DIY keel guard made out of Kydex. czcams.com/video/gWgDEaZalbk/video.html
@@wendellfishing perfect thanks! Just trying to have prevent any future scrapes
Southeastern michigan. Not to far away at all. I am just pass Toledo.
Niiiice! Just passed there hours ago
I have a question if I leave my kayak out in my backyard with like a cover on it will it still be effected by the sun?
Hey Boss... I think this article will better explain than my few sentences: www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/kayak-storage.html#:~:text=It's%20recommended%20that%20you%20don,(if%20on%20the%20ground).
His garage is the size of my entire home.
I think this only means that I have waaaay too much fishing gear.
Wendell need help! I need to replace the handles on my kayak. I can't remove the screw! It just keeps turning! I didn't strip the screw yet but its close! Can you help please?
What type of kayak do you have? Is it the steering handle or just the handles to pick up the yak?
@@wendellfishing the carrying handles. It’s an older Predator. The screws just turn. Thanks for the reply
Actually having you're back to the sun is not the best way to fish for bass.
If the sun is out and it’s behind you, it casts a shadow in the area that you are fishing. How far out it cast that shadow is dependent on how high or low the sun is in the sky. If the sun is high, at 12:00, the shadow is below you and no shadow is cast into your fishing area but the lower the sun gets in the sky, the farther out you cast a shadow.
Bass freak out when a shadow is cast over them because it triggers its instinctual fear reaction because of being attack from above the water, just like in your video when that eagle swoops down and grabs a bass.
You’re better off to have the sun to one of your sides or in front and fish the shadows and shadow edges just as though they were a piece of cover.
Just my two cents worth.
Thanks for the add! Appreciate it!
I'm also in northeast Ohio and was wondering if theirs any kayak fishing groups
where at in NE OH??
First video I’ve watched since purchasing my camo kayak SMH
Ha! I just purchased my second fishing kayak.. and yep.. it was camo. Not a huge risk if you are fishing lakes and ponds with low motor limits. Congrats on the yak Kony!
Another safety measure people should know is if they can paddle those 100+lb kayaks back to shore if the pedal drive breaks. Ive seen full grown men have to call for help because they cant paddle their Slayer Propel against the wind or current.
Big facts there
Twist the ratchet strap. Problem solved!
Man that's a lot of damage. Slap some flex tape on it.
now that commercial is running through my head
Just bought a blue camo kayak like a hr ago now I see this but I liked the color so I don't care
Lol… I have a straight up camo so you are in good company. What yak did you end up grabbing?
Let me know when you get that orange kayak ready for me! 😁
Ahhhhh yeah.... it's ready now. Come on over!
If I get a kayak I’ll have a lews xfinity in orange so that will make it so little more vizable
Right on Bass x
uv rays cant go threw glass youre fine buddy
Depends on the wavelength. The closer you get to the visual part of the spectrum, the more transmisive glass will be.
looks like the Keel guard video is gone. Can you update or repost?
Thanks for letting me know Troy! I just fixed the link on the video.. here it is: czcams.com/video/gWgDEaZalbk/video.html
When you're kayaking, what do you do with your Phone, Wallet, Car keys?
Wallet goes in the top pocket of my behind the seat backpack, I clip my keys on the top handle of my backpack, and my phone on the propel mount (czcams.com/video/HJmHhzBGbKk/video.html)
How has that gorilla tread tape holding up?
Haven’t had it out yet as it’s my buddy Kayak… I will let you know how it holds up as I’m fishing with it for 4 days straight here in a couple of weeks.
Are you from PA as well?
I'm not.. I just take a trip there once a year for river smallies, trout, catfish, etc.
I wanted to get a metal John boat but they apparently don't sell them anymore.
Really.. so weird. .. I see them all the time on FB Marketplace.
