If you’re a seasoned kayaker might want to skip this one as it’s a super basic run down as I have had a few requests from people to go over my kayak fishing set up, especially my uncle Tom, so this one’s for you Tom!!
In this video, I will go over all the gadgets on my kayak which is a Viking Profish 400. How I use it and set the whole thing up ready to fish.
The list of my gear:
Kayak: Viking profish 400
Sounder: Garmin Striker 5
Starport accessories: all railblaza (mobile holder, GoPro boom, rod holder)
Catch bag: wave passion large kayak cooler bag
Wheels: C-Tugz sandtrakz wheels

Thanks mate! Appreciate the comment! Yes definitely loads of improvements can always be made😆 I’ve seen some seriously tricked out kayaks at the competitions here

The one thing I would suggest you might like to add would be a stringer, clips into the backer of your insulated bag easy to slide the fish into and handy just to string the fish throw it back into the water while you sort out the gear get a line back in then sort the fish out

Hey mate thanks for the comment, that’s a good idea have thought about that but I religiously bleed my fish and leave them in in the footwell to bleed out so can get another line out while they’re bleeding so haven’t found the need for a stringer yet! But I may consider it in future

Great video Henry. I have the 400. Can you tell me how the garmin gt20 transducer fitted? Isn't it a bit long for the slot?

@henrycatchesfish Жыл бұрын

Hi Martin, yes a little bit! I used the Viking transducer fitting kit but it is kinda at full stretch on the threaded bolt because it’s outside of the slot! I’m just carful to not scrape the transducer and always use the wheels then lift the front of the kayak at the beach until it floats! Seems to work well enough for me!

Do you find that fishfinder is close enough to see ok mounted on the tackle pod.. I've got a 400 and I'm debating whether to put a fishfinder there or on a scotty type arm a bit closer to me?

Hey mate, yep i find this set up works pretty well! The thing I like is that it’s low down so doesn’t get in the way of my fishing but just have to find what works for you! Can always position it and sit in your kayak on the grass at home or something and see where you feel like it’ll be comfortable for you!

Hi Henry, is the wave passion cooler bag a medium(62cm long)? Looking for one for my PF400. Cheers

@henrycatchesfish 26 күн бұрын

I think large but I can’t quite remember to be honest with you! My mate already had one and lives near wave passion so just grabbed another one for me before we went out one day

Ah man that’s a long time! I know Viking had a fire and had to move premises and also has changed ownership I believe! Hopefully shows up for you soon they’re such wicked machines!

Nice vid! Did you make the suncover for the Garmin? if so, what materials did you use.

@henrycatchesfish Жыл бұрын

Thanks! It’s actually a Rob fort cover from marine deals

@clevertrevor1549 6 ай бұрын

Rob Fort makes some great kit. Recommend you get some Velcro straps or some kind of lanyard on that cover to keep it attached for when youTurtle, then you won’t lose it.
