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.

@@iowa887 We (my brother and I) did it in Cairns, Australia. They have dive boat charter companies where they let you borrow the gear and live on the boat (with other divers) for 5 days. 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.

That "structure" (as you referred to it) was the old Seven Mile Bridge, so-called because it's 7 miles long (and two, narrow, lanes wide). 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👍

I SWEAR ppl cannot understand the feeling of being in a "yak" when one of nature's true predators slams into your vessel that sits about 6 inches off the water. Talk about an adrenaline rush. Krikey!!! You never know what is below you in those waters. Damn, I miss those days!!! Can't thank you enough for taking me back there. Our fishing style may be very similar, but I have to take my hat off to you. Your ability to locate fish is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!

@rembrandtshadows 3 жыл бұрын

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.

@willburr5929 3 жыл бұрын

@@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.

Amazing fishing! Sometimes it's like that, the conditions are right, you've found the fish, they're feeding aggressively and you catch again and again. That tarpon was huge and so was that shark. I wouldn't hang around there in a kayak after that encounter, if you got into trouble for some unexpected reason it probably wouldn't take long before becoming fish food.

Woah, this is amazing. We have a similar problem here in South Africa, sharks are thankful to the fisherman for bringing them lunch and will sit under kayaks and boats and wait! Great video, as always. Sending positive vibes your way and thank you for the awesome videos.

It blows my mind that there is so much structure where you fish, and I almost never see anybody fishing around you.

I’m sure someone else has already said it, the Jaws scene. I think we’ll need a bigger boat !! Fantastic, that first Tarpon, when it launched in to the air… huge sheath of silver… amazing… Keep them coming….😲🤭🍻

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! 🔥

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.

Rich... What a fantastic video. You really knocked yourself out. The lead up, the death preview, the overheads, the awesome action at the old bridge... just fantastic. Terrific video adventure. Thanks for all the work to put that video together. Lots of work and pre-planning. I like how you set up a quick fish-fry stop-over, half-in and half-out of the water. Haha. Nothing fancy, right? Very much appreciate all your work here at the consumer end. I'll be following you on a regular basis. Be well.

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. 👊
