My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzfaq.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

Those sharks don't want anything to do with you. All they want is the fish you shine with your light. One moment the fish is there, the next moment the fish is gone. Shark attacks are so rare you may as well get killed in plane crash before you get attacked by a shark. If they do attack it's almost always on accident.

Its a touristy thing. You have to get your padi (or equivalent diving) certification. But that can be done in a couple days. One day studying and taking the exam, and the next day doing a closed-water (pool) dive, and then a quick open-water (ocean) dive. Then you’re set. It’s pricey, but sure is worth it.

It was partially demolished to prevent people from using it instead of the new Seven Mile Bridge which is 4 lanes wide. It also starred, famously, in the action movie “True Lies”.

It was converted to a road bridge, and abandoned fully when the new bridge was built right behind you. Makes for great structure! Great Vid👍

years ago, I used to fish from a certain bridge you are very close to, down by Big Pine Key. One night, my friend had a 14/0 spooled in one run. I would like to say it was a thousand yards of 80 or 100# line, but we already had some out. It was like hooking a submarine, it just kept going to the Bahamas, did not slow down nor a head shake. Scary! I couldn't make up my mind what it was for years because it wasn't like a tiger and damn sure had more stamina than a typical hammer. Now the sharks have returned after being fished out. I don't think you would meet any of the celebrity-sized sharks, such as Little Hitler, but I would never ever think about swimming across any cut, inlet, or tidal river in Eastern or SE Florida during the spring or summer. One good bite from a 6 ft bull shark and you will DOB. Caint spend money if you be daid.

@@larryroberts6413 The history is complicated. In general though, the automobile road crossed the gaps between the keys on bridges with enormous boxy wedding-cake pilings connected overhead by arches. Sometime in the 80's they began replacing these with more conventional pilings and a new roadbed. Sometimes they tore out the old structures but often they left them alongside the new ones as fishing piers etc. As someone who has dived every single one of them, I can tell you that the old pilings with their flat shelves underwater were abundant with marine life. Some spots, Long Key Viaduct, for example, looked almost as nice as the reefs 5 miles offshore.

That’s freaking crazy bro. I guess it’s a risk us kayakers take though to get to the good fishing in stealth😂 I’ve only had cow nose rays circle and splash me acting like sharks, but no sharks yet. I heard in the j and h interview that you’re traveling up and down the seaboard looking for a place to really set your roots, and I think that where I live in virginia is an awesome compromise of northern and southern species. Striper, tautog, flounder/fluke, sheepshead, redfish, speckled trout and weakfish, all shark species, unfortunately sea robins and tiny sea bass tail biters, croaker, spot, cobia and more and we have a pretty good kayak fishing community around the Chesapeake bay. It’s also halfway between montauk and Charleston roughly! Easy to travel to both destinations. It would be cool to fish with you or see you fish the Chesapeake bay on the way north! Maybe some flounder reds black drum and sheepies, as well as trout whenever you head north again.

that shark was pretty scary.. could have easily tipped the yak.. dang!! scared the heck out of me.. I'd have left the place then n there... oh and by the way, youtube should make a super duper 'like' symbol as well. cause this video was definitely insane..

Haha yeah I’ve watched the incident probably 20 times by now and it makes me feel like I’m back there on the water again and my adrenaline shy rockets 😆. Glad you enjoyed though!

Anyone who is willing to go in those waters with a self powered boat that small deserves a thumbs up. That looked like a Bull shark to me

Haha thanks Joe! Yeah I think your right. Those Bulls are crazy fish.

please don't have bad matches on your kayak, get some water proof matches. if it gets really windy and rainy so you can't return to shore, you're gonna want to have some matches that will still work.

@jonathanchau1158 2 жыл бұрын

Out of curiosity why would you need matches on a kayak

I’m really enjoy fishing with you on these trips. I’m newish to fishing and new to any kind of vessel. I bought an old town pedal kayak and have been going out a lot here in the port Canaveral area where I live. Not much success with fishing necessarily but been watching a lot of content, joined up with the salt strong guys and trying to pay attention to a lot of things to have better success on the water. I really like the fact that you have minimal gear and how much you enjoy yourself out there. It’s very entertaining. Great content to relax and watch. I can only hope to one day be as fast as you at rigging your poles back up lol. Impressive. Takes me forever

Dude tbh the sun was in my eyes pretty bad and I didn’t even really know what happened fully until I rewatched the video on the GoPro.

HOLLY s@#$ !! That was freaking awesome !! I'm so hook on your videos. I fish out of the same kayak. I'm trying your swim baits this year for pa bass fishing. Didn't make it to the Jersey shore this . Maybe this fall. God bless, stay safe in that kayak. 👊

MATCHES PRO TIP: You don’t need to strike the entire length of the strip to light a match. In fact, you can use as little as the size of the match head. That way, you can save the strip and light more matches. Happy striking! 🔥

Good video and monologues. Congrats on 100k subs! Thats one of my fav places to fish. Those bigger mangs come out at dusk but you got to find some good current n drift off the bottom. You can almost time the hits it like 4 to 5 mins between bites

Excellent video. So detailed, and your editing is great. In Canada, we don’t have the variety of fish you have there. Going to check out the rest of your videos.
