Man, you're lucky to have grown up in that area! Beautiful country for sure. I want to get back up there at some point and catch some of the smallmouth that are supposedly in that lake. Thx for watching!
@@kayplainsdrifter136 Oh yes, good Smallmouth fishing, but it's better to wait until later in the summer when the temps in the reservoir get a little warmer. The CPW stocks the upper lakes with trout, such as Lemon Lake, in the early spring. Rainbow, Brown, Speckled, and Golden. I know because my best friends dad was the only ranger up there. If you have the time and health, there is a trail that takes you to Lake Eileen. It's right before the intersection of 501 and 500 on the left hand side. That is where you catch the trout! All those upper lakes trickle down to that "lake". I live in Texas, so we'd call it a pond! I caught a 13 lb Rainbow there. Even if they aren't keepers, it makes for a really fun day! Also, during Salmon spawning season, the CPW catches a lot of Salmon in nets to propagate the species. They give them away, literally. It's at the head of the river coming down on the inflow to the lake. Cheers! -D
I took the cord from the back of the old seat back attached it to the new stadium seat there's little tiny screws on back of stadium seat, works great on a lifetime kayak.
Awesome! I haven't had a chance to play around with a Lifetime at all so that's good info to know. Some creativity definitely goes a long way with kayak mods. Thx for watching!
Thx for watching! Just to be clear, I didn't modify the seat in any way. I just drilled 3/16" holes into the kayak for the rivets that hold the pad eyes and j hooks in place. Every thing is just bungeed in place.
I'm so sorry I took so long getting back to you! Yes, here's the link and thx for watching! This is the 17" model Cascade Mountain Tech Folding Stadium Seat for Benches and Bleacher with Shoulder Strap www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y1H1SVS/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_NHV15R6QEJCK9QCZ2FY5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Thx for watching! They're just kayak nylon pad eyes and J hooks attached with aluminum kayak rivets. Lots of good options for those on Amazon or physical stores where they sell kayaks and the like.
I have the exact same Kayak......love the seat upgrade......I found some Cascade Stadium seats on Amazon......Question? Did you use the reg or extra wide seat on your wife's 10 ft Pelican???
Thanks so much for watching! This seat is the regular size, 17" seat. IIRC, you can get a better deal at Costco than Amazon, but we don't have a membership since there isn't one close to us.
I bought mine from Amazon, but I believe Costco also carries them. Big thing is to make sure and get the aluminum model. Steel is not a good choice for low sitting kayaks.
Thx for watching! It helps to have a flat spot in the deck, but if you get creative, you can put storage about anywhere. One thing I would advise is not putting a hatch in the lowest spot in a deck or any place that likes to accumulate water throughout the day. If that's the only option, you probably want to make a raised gasket and seal the heck out of it. Good luck!
Sorry, here's the best I can do, but the black are of stock currently... www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y1H1SVS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_2H9EDHGKV7SCQ024E30R?psc=1
I mean, I'm usually not that excited about sharts personally, but I'm not judging you for support of them. I guess sharts need love too 🤣! Thx for watching!
Came here to look at the seat upgrade and what a surprise that it was shot where I grew up! Crazy!

Great info and that's one heck of a trout! Tight lines!
Wow! That’s amazing thank you for that. I have the same kayak now I can do an upgrade
Thanks for watching and glad to be of help! I think you'll really like the upgrade. Have fun out there 👍🏼
@@kayplainsdrifter136 what did you use for the handles and to put those j hooks ? Like screws or rivets
Howdy...I used rivets but screws would work just fine too. Shouldn't be under too much pressure that you'd have to worry about stripping them out.

Great video...doing this tmrw!
Thx for watching! You won't regret it. Have fun modding!
Please add link or at least brand and model for seat.
Thanks!
do you have a video of how you actually modified the seat

Good job on this video man, would you mind sending me the product link for this seat?
I'm so sorry I took so long getting back to you! Yes, here's the link and thx for watching!

Where did you get the hooks to add a new seat?

Where can I get one of those seats

@@kayplainsdrifter136 ok cool. Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it!
@@JamesTaylor-lx9nv No problem, glad I could help you out!
Can u install a drop in storage anywhere?

Where is the link for the seat you gave it for the handles but not the seat

Also, thx for watching!
I can't do anything about the sharting 😂😂😂😂
Helpful. Thank You.
Glad I could help...thanks for watching!
Where did you get the seat??
I bought it off Amazon at the time, but I believe Walmart and Costco are carrying them now.
Thx for watching!
Thumbs up for sharts 👍
I mean, I'm usually not that excited about sharts personally, but I'm not judging you for support of them. I guess sharts need love too 🤣!
Thx for watching!
Where's the link to get
Unfortunately when I uploaded this video (and also now), the seats were unavailable through Amazon.
IS this dale from step brothers
That's a mighty fine compliment as I consider Dale a personal hero of sorts.
I found the sharting bit to be particularly funny because I actually have sharted myself while fishing.
Thx, LOL! While we're oversharing, I haven't sharted myself, but I have def desecrated a shoreline or two. I'm just glad Dude Wipes are biodegradable.
Came here for the sharting issue.. shieeeee
Came here for advice on sharting. Leaving disappointed.
I truly apologize about that. Sharting is one of the topics I plan to explore heavily this summer so subscribe so you'll get notifications.
