I think one thing that I have learned from kayak fishing is knowing the body of water your going to be fishing in. If you are familiar with the waters along with all other safety measures you may be less likely to make a fatal mistake. If I’m unsure of a like or River I ask around about spots to avoid or be cautious in before I set out. Knowing where you are and what’s around you is always an advantage. Also being aware of other boaters. I can’t say how many times I’ve been completely looked over by bigger boats and been toppled over by wakes and not even be close to them. Keep that head on a swivel guys. Have fun and stay safe!

I think I'm going to have to get me of of those top water 120's though. Not having to worry about a paddle gives you so much more time to fish.. and you can cover so much more water with that PDL system. Great video, great review. Keep up the great work brotha.

In my state you have to have one live vest per person on all boat types. Our rules and regulations are set by the US Coastguard standards. I was told by a game warden that it is the minimum requirements for all states. My advice is to check your state's rules and regulations before you get on the water. I definitely recommend a set on kayak for fishing. I have a Nucanoe F10(Frontier ten feet) it's a very stable kayak I can stand on it and throw a cast net from it. The kayak cost around 1000 and you can customize it Nucanoe has many options. Very good informational video 5 stars!

@theparamedicyakker5539 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tips. As far as new kayakers and PFD's go, get fitted properly for your PFD. And these fishing kayaks most have a higher back seats, make sure the PFD sits comfortably on your back. That could make or break a full day of fishing. Also check your states law on PFD's. Texas requires all watercraft to have at least a PFD on board your vessel. Best wishes, and tight lines everyone.

Yo loved the video and the spot! Question, if you were paddle only, would that be a kayak you would’ve bought, considering the weight , how it paddles and tracks and how it maneuvers? Trying to narrow it down and have 4 in mind for paddle only, maybe in future a pedal drive, but these are the 4,ss127 , nucanoe f12, the kayak in the video and wilderness system recon 120. Let me know what ya think.

The belt style PFDs are pretty nice.. super low profile, doesnt get in the way or restrict movement, etc. I snagged an Onyx m16 for less than 60 bucks. Pull the cord.. Boom.. almost instant PFD.. For rough salt water conditions maybe you might want something a little more legit, but for most freshwater situations id say you are good.

ALWAYS take a portable AIR HORN . Most states require a safety Whistle BUT the loud roar of a power boat's motor often will drown out a Whistle sound. An AIR HORN IS MADE TO BE HEARD OVER DISTANCE. That extra distance can be the only thing between you and a speeding boat. Also be certain to quick test it regularly for air and sound. I keep mine in my PFD in case I'm needing it while in the water. I'm a former Police Dispatcher, Hope this info helps.

After buying my feelfree lure 11.5 the biggest thing I've learned is try things at your own pace. slowly get familiar with your kayak every inch of it what you feel comfortable doing on it. how much weight you feel comfortable having in it, and that kind of thing. Slowly work your skill set up. for instance I don't feel comfortable standing for too long of a period of time or casting to much quite yet I'm a bigger guy and even though my kayak is very stable I haven't reached a level of comfortability yet where I feel like standing all the time on my kayak so I start by just standing up and not trying to cast and then I slowly got now where I can stand up and cast and eventually I'll get to where I can stand up and cast and paddle around and move around while standing I'm just not quite there yet so little by little don't try to do too much too soon.

A couple of things to add. You talked about the importance of having a PFD but brushed off the fact that you weren't wearing one because you were only in 2 feet of water. Never go on the water in a kayak without wearing a PFD. Ever! Accidents aren't planned they're unexpected. Plan for the unexpected. Also when considering a kayak storage, weight if the kayak and transportation need to be part of the equation. You can have a big huge kayak with lots of room but if it's too heavy to move it's not going to get used. Finally demo demo demo. Don't buy a new kayak without testing it in the water for a couple of hours.
