      Any recommendations for budget sea fishing kayak? I'm looking for used ones. And what's the acceptable length and weight for a kayak to be considered good enough for sea fishing

      If you're fishing in lakes with 10-15 ft depths, why would you need to tell someone?
      If you drown in 10 feet of calm water?
      You shouldn't be alive anyway.
      You realize how many lakes are not real deep?
      Now if you're in the great lakes? Or other major lakes?
      Yeah, I agree with you.
      But a typical lake with very little depth? Unless you can't swim, you should be just fine.

      @@bradhuskers Just this year there have been 5 deaths at the lake in the other town. Each of them died in water that was less than 10 feet deep. All of them could swim its the fact it caught them by surprise, the weather, and the distance out. All of them died and were found 1 to 3 days later because nobody knew where they were.

      I'm sorry.
      They either couldn't swim, didn't have life jackets on, or were drunk or high.
      But sober people who know how to swim, will not drown in a very calm and shallow lake. Understand?

    Having purchased a brand new kayak I am just doing some research. It was on sale and will beat the heck out of the pontoon floats my buddy bought. I am trying to learn as much as I can and this video could have helped me with the Pontoons. Im looking for a watercourse program even though Ill be on flat water or the shallow rio grande. There are parts of the Rio that I would not put a boat in, but has some great bank fishing. Guess the guy sums it up, know your limits and plan for emergency's.

    This is by far the best "tips"video on YT! I spent months doing nothing but looking at different kayaks, in the price range I could afford, then I spent countless hours watching every video I could find for ideas on what was considered important upgrades on a fishing yak. You sir covered them very well, what took me hours and months to figure out you did in 13 minutes. The only thing I would add is finding an anchor trolley and anchor that will keep you safe, where you want and in the right direction. Edit; your video was so good I had to sub just to see what else your channel has.

    Just bought a kayak after going out with a friend and a kayak fishing guide in Fla. last month. I learned a lot the first time out, primarily that I was still fit enough and athletic enough at age 62 to pull it off. We also caught fish which was icing on the cake. As far as being prepared to fish and land fish, I totally agree. In my case I found that it is an easier for a walk and wade fisherman to transition to kayak fishing since they are used to carrying and having on their person what is needed to fish, and they are even able to land fish, re-tie leaders, change lures, etc. without having to set their rod down. Your video reminded me to think things out before heading out the first time on my own. Nice job. Very helpful. Thanks.

    Super like it!
    After 1 year kayaking, I would add to the video: (1) one more important think and (2) mention the advantages of kayak over motorboat.
    (1) get an emergency bag on the kayak. To me, this bag should contain flashlight, raincoat, knife, rope, dry clothing, map or GPS system of the place, and a secure method of communication. Forecast fail sometimes, winds blow, and the way back may not be obvious sometimes.
    Now, the advantages of kayak to me are:
    (1) it is silent and you sometimes get very exciting strikes just by the kayak, because you don't disturb the natural behavior of the fishes, (2) you can easily navigate in the middle of structures and shallow weather, (3) you can go alone, and (4) it is ecological.
    Thanks for the vid. Very helpful!

    These are all great tips for beginners. I just got my first fishing/hunting boat, an Ascend H10, and am looking forward to fishing out of it. However, as an experienced ocean kayaker (I can screw roll a loaded 17 foot expedition kayak), first thing I'd highly recommend is, spend the extra money on a really GOOD paddle! Get one that fits your position in the boat, feels comfy in your hands, and you really like. After all, it's your motor. Werners, Bending Branches, and a few other brands are great (I use a Werner Camano on my ocean boat). And get one you really like the looks of, you'll want to show it off as it flashes in and out of the water! Take the time to learn to paddle properly, how to use it to maneuver your boat, and how to control it in a headwind, and you'll really love kayaking!

    I have been kayak fishing for maybe 2 years.. One tip I would like to add to people who may read comments, a tip I received from my buddy who practically lives for kayak fishing " a little exaggerated lol" is you don't always have to buy hobies or natives to go out and learn kayak fishing but you want a "Fishing Kayak that you can stand on".. if you can't stand on it, odds are it's not very stable. When I first started, I bought a Vibe. It was a paddle kayak. It was just enough for me to really decide if I wanted to continue in a hobby of kayak fishing. Obviously I fell in love with kayak fishing and after a year I purchased my new 2020 Hobie Compass. Kayak fishing is a whole nother world compared to fishing from a boat but starting out with a cheaper kayak could avoid a big investment that you end up selling or keeping in a garage to collect dust. Vibes are very stable and comfortable. Lots of space.. good for fishing. There is a difference between kayaks and fishing kayaks.. but I wanna say thank you too Texas fishing force. Video was from experience and I enjoyed the simplicity in your 5 points. I look forward to following your channel.

    Good advice just got my first fishing kayak and am going for my first test this evening. Season is still closed so I'm planning to get some experience in with my kayak before the season starts and I'm trying to figure out my kayak while trying to fish. Definitely not new to paddling and have been canoe fishing since I was 13 and kayaking for 6 years but there are still definitely some different I expect to come up.

    I’d say start off small when you first start as in what you bring. just so you can get used to moving around/standing in the kayak, landing fish, and fighting fish
