Very soon

Didn't fish for long thats forsure. Such a beautiful lake but couldn't figure the fish out lol

@@BCMountainLife The fish giving you hints to just enjoy the nature

Funny you ask... one of the strap buckles broke recently on a super windy day 😂 but never any issues going full speed on a calm day.

They are launching wheels. I purchased them from stryker and mounted myself. I have since purchased the dually wheels which are much better if you will be pulling a heavy setup onto the beach often.

@@BCMountainLife Ah I see. I was curious about the brand. I got a pair of Quicklok wheels on mine, though its a much heavier boat. About 700 lbs with the engine. Can still deadlift the nose up, though I would never (or could never) beach it on a shore like that haha. I use a block & tackle to pull it on the beach. Just island hopping. Very handy thing those wheels for a solo boater.

That sounds some like some shitty luck man... with any product there is bound to be defects occasionally. Mine is still going strong, owned it for around 4 years I think.. Customer service from Bereg Canada has always been top notch aswell.

You can order them online, delivered to BC though stock is probably getting low and prices going up as nothing can be imported from Russia currently. If you find one, buy it while you still can.

@@BCMountainLife Thank you for info.

Its held up great so far. No air leaks or water leaks. Had it out about 20 times. Stored inside and a coating of sunscreen every winter.

Yes indeed

Thanks! Yes forsure, I will be cutting and rounding off those bolts

Thanks, hope you found it helpful

Thank you

I ended up buying a 15hp yamaha for the boat. A 9.9 should be perfect for fishing (trolling) and cruising with 1-2 people.

@@BCMountainLife nice I can’t wait to try er out this spring

Hello, inflatable is a great option for the stability when standing up bass fishing.

Yes, I very nice spot for some peace and quiet.

No I use it often. I do wish I bought the UP-5 though.

@@BCMountainLife the up-5 is a beast and weighs a ton more. Do you think 1 person can manage the opening the up-5? That is a concern of mine as I contemplate between the up-2 and up-5 🤔. I would only use it for 2-3 people max

@@Bryan24k8 I use for 1-2 adults or 1 adult and 2 kids and wish I had more space. Cots and a table are necessary and they take up alot of room. I'm an average sized guy, physically fit, and popping up the UP 2 is easy. I have full confidence that I could pop up the UP 5 by myself. If you are a very small person and lacking in physical strength it may be an issue though.

Thankyou.

Public camp site, South Okanagan Mountains.

Thank you Sir

Thanks! The boat is a Stryker LX 380.

Thank you sir! Good meeting you the other day.

Hey thanks, The boat is a Stryker LX 380 with a Yamaha F15.

Nice, yea they are beautiful. They seem much easier to catch then trout and I would say better tasting aswell.

Thank you very much it's great to hear that your finding some value in my content. I look forward to doing more on this fishing set up.

Boat is holding up well. No issues.

Very observant of you but I didn't take them off, I just forgot to install them initially. Either way, I was running 2 motors and wasn't far from shore so really not that risky. If thats scary to you, you should see how I earn a living haha..Thanks for watching :)

Yea, expensive to build I'm sure. Some are metal and like elevators. $$$$$

Yes the little merc is perfect for smaller power restricted lakes, I have since up graded to a 15hp for big lakes.

Thanks Bro, looking forward to doing a collab with ya soon.

If your only using it for fishing it would be ok but I doubt it would get on plane with more then just yourself in the boat. I would say thats underpowered for a boat that big.

@@BCMountainLife found a lx380 only one yr old I think I’m just going to go for it looks like a good size and guy only wants 3 grand

@@jdh8835 Sounds like a good set up. The 9.9 should troll the 380 nicely and will allow you on smaller lakes too. Probably plane 2 people?

@@BCMountainLife Yeaa mostly on the Shuswap but also thinking I can upgrade to a 20-25 hp efi in the future then it would rip pretty good I think

To hear that my videos stir up positive emotions motivates me to keep making them. Thanks man. Youve been watching rawdog since the beginning I know Craig and I both really appreciate it. Okanagan is a tough lake to fish especially if you don't know it well but there are deffenetly huge 20lb+ rainbows lurking in there.

@@BCMountainLife For sure man, I was fishing the same lakes as you guys around that time, Garnet, Yellow, Skaha etc; even ran into Craig once or twice. Would have been nice to meet up and go fishing but I moved to Pennsylvania for now. Definitely miss the lakes back home. Keep the videos coming. 👍🎣

Thanks I'm really happy with the new camera. My hero 7 was super glitchy out of the box and the new modes and resolution on this one are great.

Thanks, it certainly is!

Hey thanks for the tip yea It really was a struggle keeping the boat straight maybe I will try that.

Yes I am aware of the hazards of falling off a boat with waders on. Launching an inflatable boat from a rocky beach in the winter time is why I am wearing waders. This is winter boating in Canada, if I didnt have to get into the water to launch and land the boat, I wouldnt be wearing waders. I thought that was pretty obvious.

How has your boat faired? Any patches required? I would like the pro but the weight would be too much for me to manage by myself.

@@BCMountainLife The boat is in great shape. I made a few amateur errors and had to get it professionally patched in a few spots, but again that was my fault. I have the wooden transom before they revamped the boat with the aluminum transom, no leaks so far on the wooden one though. As for the rpo, I just received it. I purchased the same size as my 380 lx 12'5 feet. so now I have the STRYKER PRO 380 (12’ 5”) INFLATABLE BOAT. It has so many upgrades and lots of bottom protection. I have a electric start honda motor 20 hp i saved up for.

You need a rectifier, or voltage regulator. Yamaha makes an oem one. Any dealer should have them or can order them for you.

The transducer is suction cup mounted to the transom.

Actually not though haha

Thanks man, there was alot more good footage too but didn't want to make it too long. You know the struggle.
