When you buy a new kayak the excitement to put it in the water and test it out is extremely high! I tried to get past all of my excitement and really explain what I thought of my new Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL. With this being my third kayak, I kind of know what I like and dislike about a fishing kayak. So I hope you enjoy my initial thoughts of the newest pedal kayak to our fleet.

So glad to have found your channel. I camp in a VW van and don't have much towing power. Been thinking about spending some money on a fishing kayak, and you sealed the deal for me!

Hey bro, you're going to love that boat. I bought mine last year. I'm still adding, and resetting, my electronics, add-ons, and accessories. and the skies the limit. I can walk all over her, sit on my Black-Pak in the tank well, and cast. I had a Hoodoo120 PDL, and a Impulse 120 fin drive. They don't compare to the Oldtown's.I also run the new PP 768 J2 Bixpy, on the Vibe, Gravity rudder kit. As for dad. My dad, taught me at 5yrs old to fish salt and freshwater. At 10 yrs old, I was driving his 24ft Boston whaler, in the keys. Learning how to navigate, fish, markings, signs, down to navigating. A lot of us have learned, from our dads. He bought me a 4ft inflatable raft with the oars. I'd pack a cooler with drinks, snacks, my tackle box, and, of course the live night crawlers. The raft was my own little vessel. Just a new adventure, was exciting, on a small freshwater lake we lived 100 yards from. Anyway, These Oldtown's are just awesome, the quality, the hull, everything is so well built. Great vid bro. God bless, stay safe. 🙏 🌊 🎣

Hello. I'm new to this great hobby. I ordered an old town sportsman pdl 120 kayak but I haven't received it yet. I ordered a rear storage tub from Amazon but I don't know if it will fit. Is it possible for you to measure the rear cargo area?? If you can I thank you in advance......I love your honest videos...

After using for a while are you still liking the Sportsmand 120? Have you been on a Bigwater? Trying to decide between the Old Town 120 Sportsman or Bigwater. My primary purpose is to fish in the ICW and back creeks off of the ICW and I'd like to be able to throw a cast net from the kayak. The Bigwater looks a little less stable for throwing a net but it looks easier to pedal (or at least faster). Are you finding the Sportsman is easy enough to pedal? How comfortable is the seat for a longer trip?
@TheKayakWarrior
@TheKayakWarrior Жыл бұрын
I still love it! My friend has a Bigwater and the sportsman 120 autopilot. He flipped the Bigwater a few years ago and lost a lot of equipment because it wasn’t as stable. In the video coming out Friday, you’ll see that I threw a cast net very easily from the Sportsman 120 while standing and had no issues. The seat is very comfortable as well and it’s easy to pedal.

What I noticed yesterday was that I had to make sure was fully in the down position. After being out for a while, the up and down from the waves raised it up some. It felt hard at one point, but once I pushed it back down it was fine again. I hope that helps.
