I don't have a kayak, but love watching your videos because your editing style is amazing. I caught a huge fish the other night and thought of you when I was watching the footage, I was exhausted from fighting the fish and he made a powerful run. I sounded very much like you do when they do that. You are such an inspiration. Thanks for uploading quality content.
Thanks so much for the kind words dude. And congrats on the big fish! In those moments there is no acting or faking it... our true passion for this sport and the fish shines through. Thanks for following along with my journey bud, and I wish you nothing but success and happiness in yours.
Robert Field has the best camera work of any of the fishing channels on youtube and manages to do it restricted to a kayak. I guess those swivel booms are part of the secret.
Hi. very nice new kayak. My comment is about the water that enters and does not come out. they use valves. scupper plugs and the water is still inside and entering. I use flapers made of adhesive rubber not only does not let it enter underneath but it keeps the kayak dry until I jump in abruptly in the kayak. Water then only comes in through the splashes and if it goes fast keeping the kayak super dry .. I WISH A LOT OF LUCK WITH NEW STRIKE Kayak!!
One other thing I’d like to see you cover is how you haul your kayak. I have either my truck bed or a low rack on a rail system on my truck and both work, but getting it up there is kind of an issue with the weight of the kayak.
Nice setup man. I started using the Railblaza 600 after your recommendation/review a while back. I modified mine as well by taking the platform off and using an extension set to mount my GoPro higher for over-the-shoulder shots. I then used the platform and another rail mount for the low angle front shots with the Olympus TG870. (The platform works well to support the oblong shape of the Olympus.) For the perfect amount of "friction" on the swing of the 600 boom, I removed the screws and added Loctite and then screwed them in just the right amount for the desired swing speed. No more loosening up of the screws, and no more inadvertent moving camera angles from boat rocking. See ya out on the water......holla when you make it back to Alabama later in the year!
Big 👍 This is an awesome episode and RAILBLAZA would be foolish not to link it. I went through so many iterations (costly) using other products. For the longest time I was a Ram mount junkie... but in the end it just did not deliver on a kayak application. Ram is great for the finger-tip joints of flags and action cam, but the base and boom must be RAILBLAZA. It’s a little more expensive but totally worth it. With my Ram 1.5” ball base and 32” telescoping boom, none of my videos ever kept consistent position. Adjustment granularity was great but the ball would always slip on waster, and found myself constantly adjusting after a “fish-on.” Same story with my Ram tubes, which I love, but not on the Ram ball joint. Anything on a boom or high torque should be mounted on a RAILBLAZA base. Anyway , I renovated my Outback mounts after seeing an older episode that you posted on your Outback. It was one of those “ah ha” moments. Enough rant... great episode. You gave me a few more ideas!
Great points man. Lots of companies out there making solid products, but Railblaza have performed the best for me too. Thanks for watching and for the thoughts brother!
Fantastic video Robert !! I finally found the attacks I need for my action camera !! perfect and clean explanation as always !! my compliments !! next step: purchases !! thank you !!
Nice rigging. I'm a fan of the Railblaza products, as they're well- made, and sturdy. One of the things I like about the camera boom (both the 600 & 150 models), and their other swivel products, is that the friction/tension on the rotating/swiveling joints is factory-set, and no need for me to bother having to do it. The booms stay in the position I place them in, with no arbitrary movement. I use the Railblaza StarPort TracMount Kit to attach the Starports to the tracks on mu Feelfree Lure 11.5 . The tracks on a Lure are not standard width tracks, but the Tracmount Kit makes it easy to attach the Starports.
Robert Field: Just a quick note in regards to the YakGear discount code (yakfield20). Just used it a moment ago to order some accessories for an anchor trolley setup I'm getting ready to do on my Lure11.5. The discount saved me some $$. Thanks 👍
Impressive set up you've got your self mate, I prefer the Scotty kayak accessories personally myself. Does anybody else agree or disagree with this? 10/10 for video and info 👏
Thanks man! Scotty makes quality products for sure, and they’ve been doing it for boats a long time. My issue with them is they seem to me more boat accessories that they’re making available for kayaks. The bases are bulky and sit too high on the deck for my liking. But to each their own, there’s definitely not right or wrong way to rig a kayak, just the way that works for you! Thanks for watching brother.
I think the problem for me is that the Scotty range is more accessible for me to get a hold of and I've became used to it. Do you know much about the feel free lure with the overdrive system, I'm thinking that's my next yak bit pricey so hopefully it's up to the job.
You got it when you said boaters aren't looking for you. It's the same with motorcycles and bike riders. The driver of the car that hits them actually didn't see them because they are usually looking for other cars. I've had a few close calls on the bike.
Your channel is the best Channel ever cuz you catch sharks can you catch big fish which I have a leak in my backyard and I have a boat and it's super fun when we go out on the boat and my boat it's perfect for my size and I'm able to drive it and the lake in my backyard yet we could have both in which is almost 30 in and your fish are way bigger I'm impressed I see your videos and to see how cool you are with your trailer it's so cool it's as field trips and it says your name on it and you're just your kayak so cool
I love this video man i really like how you do these videos man! Because they give me grant ideas for my kayak and i just love how you have all these kayaks and just the way you rig them its like your a pro kayak fisherman ! Which i see you as i hope i see you one time and we ca go kayak fishing together
Hey Robert love your vids especially the ones now with the rv, I think more of the rv/your daily routines in your vids would be pretty interesting,too me your living the dream.Have you thought about a simple truck rack for the yaks I think that would be a badass look with your setup now or for inside the toy hauler have one of your company’s make you some padded kayak bags Like a surf board bag but bigger. Scottie.
Yeah man, a new solution for the kayaks is in the works. Thinking maybe a camper shell with a rack but not sure yet. I’ll post more about RV life, good to know some want to see what it’s like. Thanks for the feedback!
Nice rigging on your Radar, I have a Tarpon 120 and will look at some of your ideas for kayak. Since you have the camera booms that swing to start/stop videos, do you use external batteries for power too?
Thanks for all the tips too, I definitely need to look into getting that flag light thats much better than the head lamp I’m using currently for fishing the sunset.
Hi Robert! Awesome stuff man...really help us to get a good view of alternatives to get structured for a good fishing. Question: When are you coming to Brazil? I´d like to show you good spots. Cheers!
Sure. But if you have a chance let me know! I love your videos and would love to fish with you. Idea: As you know we have thousands of miles of beaches and huge rivers here in Brazil. On an other hand we don´t have much good kayak industries here. If we want a good one we most likely have to import ( I did it with my Trident 13). I was wondering whether this would be an interesting opportunity...Just sharing an idea...if you have insights please let me know.
Could you let us know how you like those wheels later. I’ve been interested in them, or building something similar for my Ride 135. A few spots with rougher terrain I deal with and the carts don’t work well. Too narrow, high and tippy.
Outstanding video. What fishfinder do you use and how do you mount it in that boat? I have a similar wilderness systems tarpon 130x. I just can’t mount the pedal system in it.
Bless up Rob perfect timing . great info and setting. but if you could have one yak what would it be. Hobbie or Wilderness system Radar. peace love and blessings from Alberta
Nice video, I just bought one today, can you answer a couple questions please...I am not putting a pedal drive in it yet, but if I mount my fish finder on the front pod will it be blocked by the pedal drive when I do add one and not be able to see it? Also, I am 5'10" for me to comfortably reach the pedal drive will the seat have to be up so far that it blocks the door for the floor compartment in front of the seat? Thanks alot
Is the Boonedox Landing Gear stock? Did you have to get longer legs or anything? Also, is it that much better than the C-Tug? I have a C-Tug now but I hate having to strap it on while the kayak is on the ground.
The Landing Gear is stock. “That much better” is subjective. It saves you from having to do exactly what ya just mentioned. It’s up to you whether or not that’s worth the price difference to ya. It’s definitely more convenient, and more expensive. You still have to lift up on it a bit to move the leg positions, but it’s easier than straps.
Sorry man I think it’s gone. I don’t work with Railblaza anymore. Maybe email them thru their website and say you saw my video but the code doesn’t work. I’m positive they’ll take care of you. If they don’t, come back and let me know and I will make it happen.
Hahah you definitely don’t need all this to go fishing. I was just showing all the options. My first yak was $400 and had nothing on it. The fish don’t care!
Robert field hi am big fan of you, i'm new in kayak fishing please can you give me some advice, am justt afraid to go fishing alone ofshore in kayak its safe? There is no great white sharks in united arab emirates, am living in Uae am fishing there, can other sharks they can attack the kayaks? Just afraid😯😓
No, I would not worry about sharks. They will not bother you. But the ocean can be powerful. Go out when the weather is nice, and it is always best to have a friend with you
Very nice rig! I'm looking for a pedal drive kayak and have a couple of questions. When you have the pedal drive raised and tilted forward I noticed the prop is exposed. Has that prop being exposed every been an issue (fish flopping around breaking it or it just getting in your way)? Also I noticed some water splashing up in front of the pedal drive when you're pedaling. Is that normal? Thanks!!
Because people want honest advice. You say you use and love their products but, like it or not, that advice is hugely tainted by the fact that you're sponsored by them. Two years down the road you might get a better sponsorship deal with YakAttack and, lo and behold, your new kayak video will feature a boat completely decked out in YakAttack. You can't honestly be surprised by this. Let me clarify. I'm not calling your honesty into question nor the quality of Railblaza. It's just that reviews from anyone of products from companies that sponsor them have to be taken with a huge grain of salt.
Matthew Zaborowski there is a lot of variables there. Biggest being your budget, where you fish and what you fish for. You obviously want the best you can afford that fits the kind of fishing you do. There is no perfect kayak.
I don't have a kayak, but love watching your videos because your editing style is amazing. I caught a huge fish the other night and thought of you when I was watching the footage, I was exhausted from fighting the fish and he made a powerful run. I sounded very much like you do when they do that. You are such an inspiration. Thanks for uploading quality content.

Thanks for responding Robert. Exactly, there's no faking those groans when that big one's taking over for a few moments!
You got one of the best rigs I've seen, especially with camera placements
lojo.fishing phrasing!
Thanks man!
Robert Field has the best camera work of any of the fishing channels on youtube and manages to do it restricted to a kayak. I guess those swivel booms are part of the secret.
Thanks for the kind words man. The booms are definitely part of the secret!

Thanks!
I use the railblaza boom camera poll because of your recommendations 😁
Glad to hear it bro! We gotta hit the water next time I’m in Florida
Robert Field that would be awesome! Kayak Fishing Catch and cook 😁
that was a nice add for railblaza
They make great stuff
Nice set up. I like that you keep it simple. Less clutter. I've seen some with the kitchen sink in them. It drives my OCD crazy!
Code 1 Outdoors hehe and two sets and... Lol 😂
Haha many would say this is too much, too. It works for me though.
Fantastic setup Robert, looks impressive. Would love to see an in depth video about your camera setups, sound mics, batteries etc. Great channel.
I can do that! I’ll work on it
Nice rig and great setup
Thanks Brett
I’m here on the field trip ! Holla at ya boy!!! Love the vids Robert!
Thanks man!
One other thing I’d like to see you cover is how you haul your kayak. I have either my truck bed or a low rack on a rail system on my truck and both work, but getting it up there is kind of an issue with the weight of the kayak.

For the perfect amount of "friction" on the swing of the 600 boom, I removed the screws and added Loctite and then screwed them in just the right amount for the desired swing speed. No more loosening up of the screws, and no more inadvertent moving camera angles from boat rocking. See ya out on the water......holla when you make it back to Alabama later in the year!
Sounds like a sweet setup man! Dig that modification idea.
Radar 135, nuff said.
It’s a solid yak!
Caught my first red today out of the yak. A solid 7 inches. No joke.
Hahah congrats!
Big 👍 This is an awesome episode and RAILBLAZA would be foolish not to link it. I went through so many iterations (costly) using other products.

Railblaza is the Apple of the kayak world.
I guess?
I use niteize red and green glow sticks for nav lights. Work pretty nice. 😎
Fantastic video Robert !! I finally found the attacks I need for my action camera !! perfect and clean explanation as always !! my compliments !! next step: purchases !! thank you !!
Thanks Giorgio, glad you found it helpful!

The action hat saved my gopro hero 5 true story
Me too!
Impressive set up you've got your self mate, I prefer the Scotty kayak accessories personally myself. Does anybody else agree or disagree with this?
10/10 for video and info 👏
I forgot to ask you robert if you've used/tried out the Scotty kayak accessories if so what's your opinion on them?
Your times appriciated

Love your channel, one thing I had to change on my Wilderness system 115 was mounting the boonedox wheel setup on the rails it will bend them
Yeah it can happen. Thanks!
Best show on UA-cam!!!......Awesome!
Thanks!
Great overview. I just added the micro powerpole to my new Coosa FD... I love that thing!
Ohhhh yeah. I have one on my Outback. Invaluable tool for shallow water fishin
Not gonna lie I like when he says fish onnnn
Haha
Even more than his rooster calls? Love the body language when he's crowing!
Incredible kayak rig and setup right there
It works for me!
Awesome video!!
Thanks mom 😘
I'm just here for the Robert Field hip shuffle.
Hahaha
Thanks for the good ideas Robert
Glad you found it useful Lance!
Railblaza boom is where it’s at I use one on my hobie compass
Yeeyee! Works great 👌🏼 You still diggin that compass?
Robert Field yes sir took it about 3 miles off shore for snapper it worked great and got on a hot mahi bite 🤙🏾
Wish I had the amount of cash to spend to have a kayak like that! Your setup is LEGIT and hard to beat!
It has taken time to accumulate all this stuff for sure. Don’t need it all at once. The work in progress is half the fun.
Robert Field Keep up the awesome videos. You should have way more subscribers for the content you do!
Very cool gear ,gotta talk the wife into letting me buy some👍👍
Getcha some! Tell her they’re like shoes, can’t have too many!
Robert Field ... lol right on
Thanks for the recommendations on the cart. Getting tired of lugging around my Sea Ghost 130 by hand.
Yeah man, a cart makes a huge difference
Wow, that's a pro setup.
It works for me!
That is a nice kajak bro, and the rigging is sensible and well though out thanks for all the tips on how to rigg mine
Glad you found it helpful Victor
Great job dude
Nice setup. Love the channel. Awesome videos.
Thanks man!
Good vid mate, just an fyi, the Railblaza paddle clip works a treat on the Radar when pedalling
Good call, thanks for the idea!
Awesome review! Love them starport hd's... super clean way to mount gear.
Agreed!
good stuff brotha ill catch ya on the water
Awesome episode! Getting my first fishing yak this week with REI’s anniversary sale and will be sure to put that discount code to good use!
Nice man, welcome to the Plastic Navy!
You got it when you said boaters aren't looking for you. It's the same with motorcycles and bike riders. The driver of the car that hits them actually didn't see them because they are usually looking for other cars. I've had a few close calls on the bike.
Yep, exactly
Great video brother! Jammed packed full of great information! Thank you for sharing with us! #YouTheManRobert!!
Glad you found it helpful Paul!
Robert Field sure did! Thank you brother 🤙
Your channel is the best Channel ever cuz you catch sharks can you catch big fish which I have a leak in my backyard and I have a boat and it's super fun when we go out on the boat and my boat it's perfect for my size and I'm able to drive it and the lake in my backyard yet we could have both in which is almost 30 in and your fish are way bigger I'm impressed I see your videos and to see how cool you are with your trailer it's so cool it's as field trips and it says your name on it and you're just your kayak so cool
Thanks Robert!
Thanks for watching Joe
this kayak it’s my dream kayak set up real nice this kayak it’s a blast 🔥🔥 enjoy that beauti !!
It’s a slick setup!
Cool stuff
Glad you enjoyed it Joshua
Sweet rig Robert!
Thanks man!
What is your favorite kayak to fish on? I see you use the Hobie more often than any other Kayak.
No, I don’t. I use a Lightning Kayaks Strike. www.lightningkayaks.com
I like the wilderness systems better than the Hobie pa.
14:00 changed my life.
Haha
I love this video man i really like how you do these videos man! Because they give me grant ideas for my kayak and i just love how you have all these kayaks and just the way you rig them its like your a pro kayak fisherman ! Which i see you as i hope i see you one time and we ca go kayak fishing together
Thanks man, glad you found it helpful! This is my full time job, so technically I am a pro kayak fisherman haha.
Nice Kayak
Thanks!
Plz put a link where we can buy the cart. I like the idea of not worrying about putting on bungees. Thanks man.
Which cart? The C-Tug you can get off Yak Gear’s website with the coupon code, and the other cart is already linked in the description.
Hey man sweet ride u have there .lol loveu guy's
Thanks Manuel!
I once had railblaza rod holder 2 snapp on my kayak.
Really? I’ve been using em almost 5 years and never had one fail at all. How’d it happen?
Robert Field my kayak tiped over and it snaped at the base
Awesome yak Rob 👍🎣😎
Thanks Dwayne!
Welcome good stuff bud 👍🎣😎
Hey bro, you didn't say if the cart can be installed on any kayak.
It can.
This is a nice rig! I’m surprised you’re not a Hobie guy 😁
I own a Hobie Outback as well.
cool thanks
Thanks for watching Steve!
Good job keep it up
Hey Robert love your vids especially the ones now with the rv, I think more of the rv/your daily routines in your vids would be pretty interesting,too me your living the dream.Have you thought about a simple truck rack for the yaks I think that would be a badass look with your setup now or for inside the toy hauler have one of your company’s make you some padded kayak bags Like a surf board bag but bigger.
Scottie.
Yeah man, a new solution for the kayaks is in the works. Thinking maybe a camper shell with a rack but not sure yet. I’ll post more about RV life, good to know some want to see what it’s like. Thanks for the feedback!
Nice vid bro...I recognize PAC in the background towards the end!
Yessir! Spent a few days there and did two episodes back in November
Definitely one of my favorite kayak fishing places! I'm sure Los Buzos next year will top it though...lol
Nice rigging on your Radar, I have a Tarpon 120 and will look at some of your ideas for kayak. Since you have the camera booms that swing to start/stop videos, do you use external batteries for power too?
Nope, just replace batteries.
Can you do a video on how you install a fish finder to your kayak?
Thanks for all the tips too, I definitely need to look into getting that flag light thats much better than the head lamp I’m using currently for fishing the sunset.
Yessir I can! Will work on it
Hi Robert! Awesome stuff man...really help us to get a good view of alternatives to get structured for a good fishing.
Question: When are you coming to Brazil? I´d like to show you good spots. Cheers!
I’d love to fish Brazil one day man. It all comes down to money; I don’t make very much. I’ll get there eventually
Sure. But if you have a chance let me know! I love your videos and would love to fish with you.
Idea: As you know we have thousands of miles of beaches and huge rivers here in Brazil. On an other hand we don´t have much good kayak industries here. If we want a good one we most likely have to import ( I did it with my Trident 13). I was wondering whether this would be an interesting opportunity...Just sharing an idea...if you have insights please let me know.
Could you let us know how you like those wheels later. I’ve been interested in them, or building something similar for my Ride 135. A few spots with rougher terrain I deal with and the carts don’t work well. Too narrow, high and tippy.
They’re solid but you need to install/rig it right or it can rip out of the boat on rough terrain
Do you run external battery packs for your GoPros? As long as your fishing trips are my batteries would die. Love all your videos, thank you!
Love the vid! I am really liking the Field Trip series. I'm going to be rigging up some lights, do you have any vids on that?
Outstanding video. What fishfinder do you use and how do you mount it in that boat? I have a similar wilderness systems tarpon 130x. I just can’t mount the pedal system in it.
I didn’t have one installed on this boat actually. I’d probably use the Railblaza transducer arm
Bless up Rob perfect timing . great info and setting. but if you could have one yak what would it be. Hobbie or Wilderness system Radar. peace love and blessings from Alberta
Hard to say for sure, but if I had to choose, I’d keep my Outback
Nice video, I just bought one today, can you answer a couple questions please...I am not putting a pedal drive in it yet, but if I mount my fish finder on the front pod will it be blocked by the pedal drive when I do add one and not be able to see it? Also, I am 5'10" for me to comfortably reach the pedal drive will the seat have to be up so far that it blocks the door for the floor compartment in front of the seat? Thanks alot
Better to ask Wilderness those questions.
nice video buddy.
Thanks Dennis!
Love the setup and love the show. In your opinion, is it hard to paddle the 135?
Thanks! Nope the Radar paddles pretty nicely. Very stable, too.
Yakin For life
=-)
Yessir
Provided it was within your budget, would you purchase the Radar 135 or the Hobie PA 14? I am at a crux. Appreciate the videos and inspiration.
The Hobie. But I'm announcing something in a couple days that you might be interested in.
@@YakFishField Right on man, that's where I was leaning. It's an investment for sure. Just want to spend more time outside.
Going with a tripod, drum mag, laser, IR scope, suppressor, bayonet, and under slung M79
So why did you move from the C-Tug? I just got one and it works great, but just curious.
Is the Boonedox Landing Gear stock? Did you have to get longer legs or anything? Also, is it that much better than the C-Tug? I have a C-Tug now but I hate having to strap it on while the kayak is on the ground.
The Landing Gear is stock. “That much better” is subjective. It saves you from having to do exactly what ya just mentioned. It’s up to you whether or not that’s worth the price difference to ya. It’s definitely more convenient, and more expensive. You still have to lift up on it a bit to move the leg positions, but it’s easier than straps.
Where do you put all your tackle? Do you take a lot when you go fishing or just a few things?
The promo code has expired do you have a current one?
Sorry man I think it’s gone. I don’t work with Railblaza anymore. Maybe email them thru their website and say you saw my video but the code doesn’t work. I’m positive they’ll take care of you. If they don’t, come back and let me know and I will make it happen.
Tried a 360 camera yet? (Insta360 x3 for example)
Rob can you do a poormans version of this? lolll I don't have a extra 5k for Rod Holders and Mic Stand lolll JK Brotha
Hahah you definitely don’t need all this to go fishing. I was just showing all the options. My first yak was $400 and had nothing on it. The fish don’t care!
Robert field hi am big fan of you, i'm new in kayak fishing please can you give me some advice, am justt afraid to go fishing alone ofshore in kayak its safe? There is no great white sharks in united arab emirates, am living in Uae am fishing there, can other sharks they can attack the kayaks? Just afraid😯😓
No, I would not worry about sharks. They will not bother you. But the ocean can be powerful. Go out when the weather is nice, and it is always best to have a friend with you
Do you work for Railblaza? Seemed like a really long Railblaza commercial
No, I don’t. Just the products I like to use the best.
How did the landing gear work on this set up? Are the tracks strong enough?
Needs a backing plate
How do you like that radar 135? I’m looking into a pedal drive
I like it a lot man! Slick boat.
Very nice rig! I'm looking for a pedal drive kayak and have a couple of questions.
When you have the pedal drive raised and tilted forward I noticed the prop is exposed. Has that prop being exposed every been an issue (fish flopping around breaking it or it just getting in your way)?
Also I noticed some water splashing up in front of the pedal drive when you're pedaling. Is that normal?
Thanks!!
You’re supposed to fill the hole up front with the included pod. I forgot it. Never had an issue with the prop being raised, but I’m mindful of it.
Can this kayak be car topped? I dont have a pick up truck
It’s on the upper limits. Get a good rack, Yakima is a great brand.
What landing gear system are you using? I looked on the boonedox website but didn’t see any wilderness systems only hobies mounts
What's the song at the beginning?
I don’t remember but I got it off Epidemic Sound
now you can fix your yak up send mine to me lol
Are you sponsered by ralblazia? Or do you just love it that much?
Guess.
Why does it have to be one or the other? They’re one of my sponsors, but I used and loved their products long before I worked with them.
Because people want honest advice. You say you use and love their products but, like it or not, that advice is hugely tainted by the fact that you're sponsored by them. Two years down the road you might get a better sponsorship deal with YakAttack and, lo and behold, your new kayak video will feature a boat completely decked out in YakAttack. You can't honestly be surprised by this.
Let me clarify. I'm not calling your honesty into question nor the quality of Railblaza. It's just that reviews from anyone of products from companies that sponsor them have to be taken with a huge grain of salt.
Just wondering do you run a fish finder?
Not lately but I have a Garmin Echo 74sv
ROB! You fishing exclusively from the Radar now?
Naw bud, I don’t fish exclusively from anything.
Great rigging. Have you compared it to Scotty rod holders?
I have. The Scotty bases are way too big and bulky for my taste.
Are they sturdy enough for trolling bib baits on heavy rods?
Did you lose your flex pod? i did that too haha
What would you recommend for a beginner kayak?
Matthew Zaborowski there is a lot of variables there. Biggest being your budget, where you fish and what you fish for. You obviously want the best you can afford that fits the kind of fishing you do. There is no perfect kayak.
What’s your budget? How big are you? What kind of water do you fish?
Realistically I have no budget at the moment lol I’m more just looking for future reference, I fish mainly inshore salt water and freshwater.
Hi good video
Thanks!
