- In this video, I am giving you the run down on my thoughts when it comes to getting started kayak fishing. Contrary to what many may believe I am not going to tell you what you have to have when it comes to accessories to get started. In fact, I am going to tell you don't need it all to get started.

I made a comment on another youtuber's channel about his beginner kayak setup, a Hobie $2000 dollar "basic" angler. He came back saying he made enough money to afford it and if I was too poor to afford it it wasn't his fault. It is refreshing to see someone guiding newbies and telling them that they only need a kayak, poles and tackle and the desire to have fun and catch fish. Thanks brother!
Thank you Sir. I can’t put into words how helpful you’ve been. This is my first year Kayaking/Bass Fishing. Entering this hobby/game has become an obsession. Goals! Goals!
I told my wife all I need is pfd paddle and rod she asked why it takes 3 hours to load them. Haha
Chad you are a true inspiration buddy! You don't sugar coat or bullshit people. You speak the truth and are just yourself in the videos. We need more people like you! Keep up the good work buddy! Love the vids
Well said Chad!! I love the sport of kayak fishing and ya have been a great mentor and advocate of the sport. Keep up the great work!!!
Chad, great statement in this video. I am looking at getting started Kayak fishing, your videos answer a lot of my questions; GREAT JOB! Thank you for your honest feedback to those making the journey to kayak fishing for enjoyment and fun.
You also need a fishing pole 😀
naw, you kin just bare-hand'em!
Nope. Just a line and a lure!
Keep it Realistic!!
Chad, your one humble man, much respect to you sir, you are the reason i bought my kayak and its not the best or the biggest but its perfect for me. thank you for introducing me to kayak fishing, and keep up the great work!
Best statement I have heard...
Everything else is a luxury, truth find your comfort zone, fulfill your needs. 👍🏼
Good Video ~ Good Information
Thanks!
Thank you for your open honesty on who you are and what people need to fish. In this day of saying anything if someone pays you, it is refreshing to hear someone just be honest. You earned my respect, following, and some trust with this video.
Thanks for this, real confidence booster when a skilled angler lays out the truth for us.
Chad so true ..... Fishing in a enjoyment for me. I agree ... Most items we want are a luxury. Thanks for this video. Tight lines brother !!
Chad, you’re the man! You’re videos are positive and full of information. Keep it up.
Your honesty is gold brother, i couldnt agree more.. that being said, theres not a guy out there that dont like toys and if he has a competiveness to him he likes advantage. keep up the good work.
p.s hard work and honesty helps a man to sleep very well at night, i bet you sleep great. stayed bowed up brother!!
I have a sundolphin 10ss and caught a tin of bass in it. Hoping one day day to upgrade. Love learning from your show
Amen brother. I believe that the way to success and enjoyment in any facet is to start with the basics, grow your skill and then once you have found confidence in yourself and your tools, expand on it. Rinse and repeat. With that being said, I hope to have a SS127 tied to the roof of my jeep come this fall. Thank you for you honesty and advice. Keep on being Knot right.
It's true, my first yak was 150 bucks from Menards and I caught tons and tons of fish. Still have that yak and I still use for spots that are difficult to launch the 13 foot yak I use now,. If you have a Menards and want to get into Kayak fishing the Viper is a good starting spot.
Man, love your outlook on this sport. I'm an amateur angler looking to someday get into a basic kayak and get on the water. Guys like me need that encouragement to just do the best you can and enjoy it. I'll be fishing from the bank for now but still, great content. With my newborn daughter, I don't get many opportunities to fish, but I love every second.
Kayak, Paddle, PFD, Basic Fishing Tools and 1 Spinning Rod and Reel with some Ned Rigs is a great recipe to just get out, catch fish and have a good time.
FISHINandJUNK just got out on the kayak for the first time this year and the ned rig was the only thing catching fish
True - except for me it's a baitcaster and a texas rig. I fish in some DIRTY water!
dude, love the videos, been watching you and Fluke for the past year and finally broke down. and bought me a ascend H10 , fits my weight category. and once again I consider this a stepping stone to the next level. PFD check, Paddle Check , Kayak Check, Next Big PB! Thanks Again for all the tips.
Love your honesty keep it coming !
Thank you for this. Fishing my first KBF state tournament in the rig I can afford. It's nice to hear honesty and encouragement. Thanks again, Chad.
Obsession of the sport of kayak fishing man that's a good way to put it last session I had a ride135 I loved that kayak but I got a new peace of property bigger than a 21 inch push mower would push,well couple days of mowing but anyways make it short had to sell the kayak and get a mower and this sport of kayak fishing nothing like it if it wasn't for your show kayakbassin I don't think I would be in it appreciate your service and keep up the good work
There is one thing that u absolutely have to have.......more time to go fishing. 😁
Thanks for keeping it real . I enjoy your videos . Hope I see you on the water sometime.
it always blows my mind how many people get butthurt by sponsored content....dude that's the reason that most of these people are able to do what they do...and if they don't promote the companies and gear that are supporting them the sport will not grow. sorry for the random tangent, great stuff Chad keep the content coming!
I've gone through 4 china reels that aren't worth the shipping to get it to me... I've also wasted money on the big names not standing behind their product when it broke. It's hard to make a sound investment in fishing lately. Too many predatory, short-sighted companies.
"But Daddy I want a golden goose now!!" Very nicely said I love all my toys and look forward to more toys but the basics are all it takes for an amazing day on the water!! Thanks Chad keep up the great work!!
Chef Bruening thanks
That was a awesome video nice to see someone who is a part of the big corporate scene also step back from that and say hey it’s not absolutely necessary that you have this to go have fun. But you do have a slick yak. I was fortunate this year after 2 years of fishing a budget yak to upgrade to what I wanted myself 😁
I really respect your honesty.
I love your honesty!
I can't wait to be able to kayake.. but I still have a few more months of recovery until I can paddle.. so I'm gonna be on the pond banks and on my buddy's boat until then!! Btw I messaged u back... have great day man stay blessed!!
Great video for people like me that dont have alot of money..i been doing this for 12 yrs..on the cheap..my grandpa started me fishin 54 yrs ago and he said..fishing is 80% biology..5% equipt..15% skill
Awesome video Chad can't wait till I can be in the big tournament
Awesome video bro! I always enjoy watching your videos. They are very informative as well as entertaining. Could you do a video one day on summer bass patterns? Again, thanks for the awesome videos!
You don’t have to have all that stuff but if you fish long enough you will acquire lots of things you don’t have to have.
Another well done video. Thanks Chad.
Great vid. To all out there just getting started. Please, don’t go cheap on the pfd, it may save your life one day
Dude that's awesome 👏 appreciate your honesty 👍👊
Hey Chad: You get out on the water 300+ days per year. Wow!!! As I get out 43 at most, that's 7 of my years ha ha. You are very fortunate. Thanks for sharing.
Attitude 100%. Great video
For me I started with a 40 dollar kayak bought off Facebook. Now I have a Jackson with onboard electronics and kayak crate with 6 rod holders and two tackleboxes.if you love the sport enough you will find yourself optimizing your chances for success with the best gear you can afford(or at least I did).
Always enjoyable to watch your channel really good content. Really like that Bonafide kayak behind you when are you shipping it to me so I can finally start kayak fishing. Watching your vids have gotten me hooked on trying to get a kayak. Family and bills always take comes first. But someday I will hopefully get a kayak. Thank you very much for the cool vids. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts
Hello Chad and greetings from Ireland. First of all I'd like to commend u on a very informative channel for all your fellow bass anglers stateside. Good on you...well done! I have a query with u regarding the ATAK 140. I am foremost a flyangler + the odd bit of lure and when I eventually purchase a kayak I plan to use it for both freshwater lakes and the salt. So at the moment my choice of kayak is the atak 140. But recently I read several bad reviews on them regarding the amount of water entering the hull which I found very surprising. Several of the paddlers regretted buying the boat and maintained the main culprit was the stern hatch. Consequently it was given the thumbs down as an offshore boat. They also stated that the os pod also took in water which totally defeats the purpose which it was designed for. I was deflated to read these cons as it seems an ideal flyfishing vessel with the open deck and all. You wouldn't expect to see such negative comments in connection with a company as reputable as WS. I personally don't see how the rear hatch could let in any water never mind enough that could possibly sink a boat. I would be very interested to hear your take on these reviews. Could you also let me know if wilderness have any plans to drain the tool area to the hull. This is a very valid crib to be fair. Thanks for all the tips / info and keep up the great work. Hoping to hear back from u. Tight lines, Brian
One thing I would recommend is to get a kayak with a nice comfortable seat if you can afford it. The first one I had only had one of those pads for a seat and I sold it the first summer because I couldnt stand being in it for very long. Killed my back. And if you cant afford a new kayak like that you can find very nice used ones on craigslist and save some money.
I was just contemplating selling my helix 7 when I came across this video. I think I'll be looking to sell it now.
Good one Chad!
Well said.
I also need a fishing rod and some lures but I am just needling you. I am so getting into tis this year!
Chad wondering how the weight loss is going thanks for all the information and content in your videos it is greatly appreciated.
I was just hoping to see a line of new stuff I don’t need, but want.
Keep up the good work bro
Good advise , there are a few things you must have true . Everything else is personal preference. Set the hook brother and keep the video coming
Great video.
Well said man
I’m looking to upgrade my fish finder. I know you say get what you can afford, but what would you recommend? I currently don’t have down imagining or side scan. I would like map data also. Thanks for your advice and I love your channel.
You need to put a disclaimer or 'trigger warning' in the front of this so that wives don't see this and use it against us guys! :)
Encouraging. Thnx.
Can you please do a video on the ss107? Walkthrough. Thank you
Thanks Chad - I’m dumber than a box of rocks and this is very helpful since I’m seriously considering buying a kayak.
What is the orange kayak in the back round? I want to buy my first kayak and want it to be orange 🍊..I’m thinking it’s the bonafide if so does it come in a peddle drive?
Wife says give you a thumbs up on this video
Thanks.
All I thought was needed was a cooler full of beer!!!
very well!
Chad I’m looking into getting a bonafide kayak but live in Indiana. Where would be the best place to find them in my neck of the woods?
Well said
Thank you. And thanks for watching
Is it beneficial to put UV protectant on our fishing kayaks? if so, how often should it be done, and is there a specific brand you prefer over another and why? What are some other regular maintenance to our Feel Free Dorado 125 you recommend? Love your channel..keep it up! Love seeing your bride, too.
Thanks Rita. That’s a great question and yes, it’s definitely beneficial. I like to wipe the boats down with 303 protectant twice a year.
Hey there Chad. Mistake in my earlier post. Meant to say drain tool station to the deck. Any feedback much appreciated
Chad, you mentioned that you don't feel like kayak fishing has a true pro tour but they are close...how far off do you think it is and what kind of things need to happen before that becomes a reality? Love the videos!
Billy S we are close and all we need is the non-Endemic sponsors to cross that next threshold
Chad next time your in the norfolk/Va beach area, let me know we can meet a briery creek and get some bucket mouths.
Ramirez hit me up when I post that I’m heading that way!
I need more the longer I fish
Chad you are the man! Love your videos. I have a cheap pelican sit inside and am looking to upgrade. In your opinion what is the better yak. Perception pescador pro 12 or native manta ray 12?
Joshua Thibodeaux The Native Manta Ray 12, but they are also a better class of boats
Chad Hoover thanks for your input!
I have decided to wait a few weeks and go straight to the Bonafide ss127
What was your rate in the navy Mr. Hoover?
Well said! thank you
I agree with the statement, I just don't think it needed to be said. Haters gonna hate.
I think it's all unnecessary, but there are days when I sure would love a trolling motor on my Commander 120!!!
Hey chad how many kayaks do you have I know I see 3 bonafides I think I seen one on the trailer as well and I see a wilderness kayak as well just wondering
Don Juan Right now we have about 10 that belong to the company (KBF). I personally have three.
OMG; an honest marketing personality. Who'd a thunk it? Just decided to subscribe because of this video. Thank you sir.
Chad tells the truth and that's why I like Chad!!!
Enjoy Your videos Chad. Like the common sense attitude U have.
Tomorrow is my birthday! Send me one of those kayaks! Haha 🤪
FatMan Videos Happy Birthday
Thank you for your videos. I am a larger man myself and I have become interested in kayak fishing. Truth be told my interest in fishing is a new thing. But I really enjoy your videos and hope to be cruising the Louisiana Bayous soon!
#Unicorn,
Chad I have learned by competing against most of the top anglers in the #KayakFishing #NKBFationalChampionship, #KBFTrail and #KBFOpenSeries that if you can give yourself any type of advantage it's worth it. As you mentioned if you can get out in a #Yak and be safe doing it it worth the #TOW.
300 + days!!!! I wish I could do that much time on the water
It's not the brand of kayak or equipment it's how you use it
What if you have to pooh
I have the woodsman SS127 and I wouldn't buy it guys. Its not as spacious as one would think. Get the Nucanoe. Way more spacious. Plus 360 seat. All you gunna do is buy this one like me then be stuck with it when they release their better version
👍👊
Help! Bass fish my whole life. Want to buy my first kayak. 6 feet 250lb. $1000 budget. Someone can give some advice please. Thanks
I have a Kaku Wahoo 12.5. Very comfortable, and has Yakattak geartrak already built-in to add accessories. Definitely get a 12 footer.
I have a cheap acsend 12t it cost about 700 its pretty stable i can stand and cast . lots of starage too. Im 6.2 210 and i have tons of room
I did not know you have a TV show what is it called what channel love to watch you
Chad Hoover Fishing and it’s on Bally Sports (Formerly Fox Sports Network)
Good advice! #YetiLoadout
P.S. I could use a couple decals since my YaK would be considered Ken Burk Fishing,-}--==:; *}}
P hard to fish without hook li e and sonker, lol
