About 10 more haha

I did once when I first got a kayak and was on the river. Was just a fun float and wasn't even fishing. Got pinned up against a log and flipped her.

I’ve read it’ll last 100 cycles (down and up being 1 cycle) but I’ve never ran the battery down in a day. I do charge it after every trip

Thank you

Thanks!

Wow that’s awesome!

That’s a great idea! Thanks! I can’t remember exactly how deep this was but probably 10’ range, just got lucky when I came back a couple days later dragging bottom

It’s just sediment or something

I get stuck a lot but making sure my Texas rig hook is buried in the plastic almost every cast helps out. Also different brands of baits work better in the real thick stuff depending on how durable the plastic is.

Thanks that was actually the first one I’ve caught flipping. Have caught several with a crankbait tho

@@theloonangler Oh yeah. Cool. I’ve caught bass while catfishing. ( using worms and sometimes they strike when reeling in ). I live in Cali best of luck my friend. Great to hear fishing stories. Rock on bidfy

Grrr. That was supposed to say BUDDY. sorry

I used to not carry that many but I go through a lot of rods sometimes in a day on the water

right this is too much stuff. like its fishing dude. a boat and a few rods tackle box/bag and some drinks. this dude got a whole ass bass pro shop on his kayak. FFS

And I love every minute of it

Fuck those guys, bring 100 poles if you like. So long as you enjoying yourself the way you want!!! ​@@theloonangler

Thanks!

It’s a fun lake!

ya most people can catch a bass. I used to go with my family up to northern Minnesota on fishing trips and I loved going after musky and pike. Not many areas where I'm at now that have them though and I love to bass fish.

Thanks! It’s one of my favorite lakes. It can be a little stingy but once you figure it out it’s pretty much non stop action all day!

@@theloonangler I definitely want to go back we were going on a regular basis and that’s how I felt about it! Also loved catching some great crappie and white bass in it!

Thanks Gary, hope to see you out there soon!

Thanks. I wasn’t initially but I’ve had some problems the last time out with the steadycast. I need to recalibrate it I think and hoping that fixes it.

Appreciate it!

Thanks! Ya I’m using the scuppers. If you don’t with the front mount motor then water will come up through the scuppers when you are going full throttle

Thank! Been trying to learn some new things and have some cool stuff coming down the pipeline!

Thanks! I've done well with a squarebill crankbait there.

Thanks!

My other kayak is an Old Town, they're a good boat! You'll like the power pole

Thanks!

It takes some getting used to that’s for sure!

I don’t. I bought that trailer years ago for $100 to haul my 4 wheeler. I just replaced the hubs, tires, added bearing buddies and added submersible lights. The top rack I just added wood 2x4’s to haul a 2nd kayak

I was worried about my weight and all the gear I bring. When I put this kayak together I weighed EVERYTHING, including what was already on the kayak such as seat, pedals, paddle etc.,. With this setup I'm sitting at 235 lbs in gear/equipment. Add my weight and I'm still easily 150 pounds under carrying capacity of 600 lbs for the Hobie Pro Angler 14

Thanks, I get what you're saying but to be totally honest I very rarely use livescope like you see on the major tournament trails. I am a shallow water angler mostly and I rarely sit in one spot. I have found a few ways to make the livescope work for me that way. I hope to make some more videos this year how I use it shallow. I'd much rather lock a squarebill in my hand all day and just go hunting and thats usually what I end up doing.

It won’t dig it but it’ll create enough friction to hold you. One thing to be careful with on rock is it will push your kayak up since it can’t dig in and may be come more unstable. One of the lakes I fish regularly in this video has a lot of boulders and rock and I use it there all the time

I use it on St Clair like that and there’s a stretch on another lake with deep water I use it like that all the time

I could see where that would help but when I'm on the river I run a anchor wizard off of the bow. That system has worked well for me and honestly I usually just turn around and fish vs. even using the anchor wizard

@@theloonangler yeah, that's what I'm planning while rigging the new yak

are you running a bow mount motor?

@@theloonangler I will have both options

@FishinWithGRAMPS I took a 2nd xi3 quick disconnect and added the anchor wizard so I can add it quick if I don’t want to use my motor

I was hesitant with the cost and there are definitely other alternatives but I wish I had gotten it sooner over some other upgrades.

@@theloonangler the cost has been what has held me back but I know I would use it a ton!

haha ya it sucked but I made it home right when the storms started. Made sure to grab 2 rods the next day!

@@theloonangler that was a rough storm!

Yes it was!

I grew up fishing old farm ponds. Can be some giant bass in them!

Thanks! Its the One Objective Hobie Rod Tube Block Off Plate, link below: www.oneobjectivebf.com/store/p256/hobieaccessorys.html#/

thanks so much for getting back to me. apologies if this is a dumb question, I am not too mechanically inclined but am going to try and do my set up almost exactly the same as yours. What did you use to make the holes in the block off plate and what did you use to protect the wire, it looks like you have something around the wire.@@theloonangler

No worries, ask any questions I'd be glad to help. The wires run through a through hull wiring kit. I used I think a 1" hole (the instructions with the kit tell what size hole to cut) Link to the manufacturer below: (might be able to get cheaper if you shop around) www.yakattack.us/gridloc-through-hull-wiring-kit-pair/

@@theloonangler one more question what diameter wire sheathing did you use for the two different cables you have going through the panel where the rod tube used to be?

Are you talking about the wire loom cover? If so I don’t remember, 1/2” maybe?

This one, been using it for years and love it fishobsessed.com/collections/1500-series-transducer-mounts-garmin-livescope-plus-lvs34/products/dominator-livescope-plus-lvs34-adjustable-perspective-mode-mount-with-zero-deg-pkg-for-1-5-poles

I'm not sure what my problem was, the showing the transducer needed adjusted but then later in the afternoon after I switched from perspective back to forward it was working right. I didn't change anything, it was weird

I'm not sure what the problem is with mine. It's frustrating. So far the 34 doesn't seem any different than the old one.

I’ve done well with and without a helix 5. Won angler of the year twice (not a super competitive trail but still) in the trail I fished and didn’t have any fish finder for a significant portion of the tournaments. But you will not see me being a crybaby about what other people are using.. In fact I’m upgrading significantly this year which will include mega live and two helix units. Fish how you want to..

Same here, won AOY on Indiana's largest lake a few years ago with a paddle kayak and a small Garmin. thanks for the comment and good luck this year!

@@theloonangler thanks! Just come across your Chanel recently. Good luck!

One Objective fishing makes a rod tube delete plate. They work great

Thanks! Rear mounted has always been my favorite view

Thanks. Below is a link to the terminal box. I love it and is my favorite way to store terminal tackle. www.tacklewarehouse.com/Flambeau_4510FB_Terminal_Tackle_File_with_Zerust/descpage-FL4510F.html?from=gshop&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA8sauBhB3EiwAruTRJprwy4UPKIHjshuAD-2Eu83ynVBWS8j5ObbcTx90LPUeQIg6ziCqBxoCVQEQAvD_BwE

No I’m going to try and hit the boat show

That was my first time on it. There’s a series there again this year I may make it over there for.

I started fishing it back in 1970. Wasn’t any houses, water was clear with grass and cattails. Just not the same anymore. I got a 8 pounder out of there about 3 years ago and 7 pounders every year. Best time is spring.

wow thats awesome! I have heard of some big fish coming out of there
