Will, do you have a favorite product to recommend?

@@TheLittleStuff i mean most old hippies use dr brawners for that purpose.

Not sure. This show is for previews of soon to be released products. I suggest you check with the manufacturer website and/or customer service.

The Torqeedo website says that it will be available on Aug. 8th. However, take that with a grain of salt. Waiting patiently since April.

Pearl. I’ve caught them on pink too.

Hope you’re doing well Christie. I saw your name in a TN AOY list recently.

Mine sits in front of me. Easy to reach, doesn’t usually get caught on stuff.

Glad you are one of the few that doesn’t overlook small water. Thanks for watching!

This one was a tough one to film and not fish! Knowing when to switch from power to finesse is so critical.

It’s a classic that should have never been discontinued. Unfortunately, sales numbers are the only performance metric that matters. Diversity of design for specific types of fisheries peaked in the mid 2010’s. Since then, many if not most kayak manufacturers have chased some other manufacturers #1 top seller. That created an echo chamber of many 12.5 foot super wide, primary stability kayaks with the seat perpetually in the high position. The Commander 140 was a staple of my summer time river fishing when I started filming kayak fishing. I was a fool to let it go without getting a backup while they were available. But I do have this other boat. And it’s pretty cool too.

One of them did, only one.

Every trip with Tim is an adventure!

Tim is the COACH!

I am putting one in my tackle bag right now!!

I wasn’t fishing, didn’t have fishing equipment and still felt like I carried too much compared to what Tim brought.

It was a grind, but we had fun!

I try to keep up with “every Sunday”. Glad you look forward to them.

@@TheLittleStuff Love tuning in man if I’m not fishing 😬

We had fun working that hard!

Thanks for saying so! I’m glad that you’re improving your angling skill set!

It was, as promised an ADVENTURE!

The Captain’s Perch is a seat of sorts. It had to be minimalistic to get through that mess!

This is what he does all over his home state of Alabama- find small overlooked water.

@@TheLittleStuff I admire his determined spirit.

Glad someone caught that! 😆

Tougher than most, physically and mentally. His number of hours on small water over a lifetime has to be off the charts. That experience is a differentiator.

@TheLittleStuff in my opinion the line up of top river fisherman include but not limited to and in no particular order . Jeff little , Tim Perkins, lance Cooley, Drew Gregory, Mack McCorkle Timmy Dixon Eric Treadway & Kipp Wright folks are regular successful no matter the conditions. And understand fish habits migrations feeding and river flows. Like no other. Some are far more popular than others. Mostly the they are willing to put the effort in to protect the fishery the access and the the fish.

Thanks! Tim has likely developed calluses on his tailbone and can’t feel it. Many hours on a Commander captains perch!

There’s opportunity in that statement. The Jackson Kilroy and Native Ultimate are in that same family, but with some critical differences. If someone were to focus on “what can you do with it” as opposed to conforming to todays long list of weight accumulating features, we might get something great again in a “throw and go” kayak again.

@TheLittleStuff Ultimates are great too, and having owned both, the flat end of the commander makes it easier to secure in the bed of a truck. The upper seat was great, the ability to stand with your feet below the waterline was great for stability. Man I wish I hadn't sold the ones I had back in the day.

It’s a Zoom Super Fluke.

I’ll have to do more like this. I’ll be “leveling up” my ACA Instructor level in a few weeks. There will be some moving water concepts to teach.

It should be distributed everywhere the 1103 was, including Europe. The new motor is quiet at low speeds, but I can hear it as it approaches top end output.

@@TheLittleStuff thanks!

On this particular afternoon? A few miles. Yesterday I was on my home river, the Susquehanna and went 6.1 miles up before turning around and coming back.

They are different in all the right ways!

Yep. Check the Inflatable Kayaks playlist. You’ll end up spending more doing that than getting an Innovative Sportsman inflatable, but it’s all there on the playlist.

Thanks I will take a look

Thanks Tony!

Can’t wait to get some set up!

No problem. I feel like there was so much more I could have covered.

@@TheLittleStuff, we appreciate everything you do share more than You know.

The Osprey 1436 with the new motor will do what you want. Buy the whole thing from Tray at Innovative Sportsman and have him make a prop with the old 1972-00 prop.

It’s a cool river. I will say that once I moved away from the shoals, the bite was decidedly off. They all pile in those whitewater areas in the spring.

It’s comfy.

Two more days to come…

5.7 to 5.9 mph on a Titan. One of the slowest.
