    That was a nice video on your setup. Two things though, if the situation comes up and you need your first aid kit, leaving it in the car won't be very helpful. And if you are going to have lights on your bow, following the regulations in regard to red and green could help prevent a power boat from mis interpreting your direction of travel.

    A great way to hold your crate tight in the kayak is to run a strap up through the two skupper holes in the bottom and tighen it up inside the crate, works great!

    You could make a DIY paddle that has removeable ends, leaving you with a pole that could receive other inserts, such as: spear, gaff hook, net etc. If you need it to become a paddle, fine. Otherwise it could serve in other ways that save you real estate where its very precious.
    Also, don't bury your boat horn. Mount it in a sheath to the outside of your crate for immediate access.

    I have the Titan 10.5 "Yak, and did a modification with "Kite String" about 5 years ago - after the S/S Cable broke Twice in 3 months - on my rudder control. It's actually Kite Surfing String, with a breaking strength of nearly 700 pounds. After using it nearly a season, I called up Native Watercraft and told them about it. (I guess it's "Standard" now, on most of their kayaks.) Mine has held up for nearly 5 years, with only one time having to "adjust" it due to stretching.
    About the rudder extension - I made mine from 18 wheeler mud flap - and it hasn't "Broken"! Haha! I'm working on a Drop-Down Rudder now, made of aluminum - so I can drop it down or raise it, from the seat. (Let ya know how THAT works out for me, in the future!).
    Installing a Garmin 93 UHD SV on the 'Yak today. (Got tired of my buddies finding more fish than I could, with my old Lowrance Hook 7 SV!). Haha!

    • @wendellfishing
      @wendellfishing  2 роки тому

      I love this post. Mud Wheeler Flap mod is awesome and great work on the "Kite String" I believe that is Polyethylene by Spectra (USA) or Dyneema (Europe) which is what you would want. I'm curious on how your drop down rudder turns out. Let me know... .and yeah.. going to be investing in an upgraded Fish Fisher this year as well. Thanks for the tips!

    If you need a comprehensive 101 to get an idea of what kayak fishing involves, this is it. Just one small thing was niggling me about this setup which I thought was brilliant, is the unsecured battery. You could potentially short out your electronic equipment for the sake of securing the battery in some type of bracket which could as simple as the other bungee attachments you already use.

    Man you have a nice setup. I like how you went through showing how you set it up. I also really like your DIY leashes that you made. I did the same thing using 550 cord & carabiners on both ends and I haven't had a problem since. I used it to tie to other boaters , kayaker , boat docks. I also like you're DIY pulling rope you have. I have 1 too that I made. I used it one time too tired tie around a Bridge pole to take cover from a severe thunderstorm underneath the bridge & use my DIY leash to tie my buddy kayak to me to ride out the storm. When I told my buddy how I made the DIY leashes My buddy said tomorrow I'm going to make the same thing for my kayak. He realize how important they really was. I also like your Chaco sandals you are wearing. I have 2 question? I heard several people said they are having problems with the toe loop tightening down really tight on their big toe causing the big toe to hurt. Have you ever had this problem before & #2. Do the toe loop only opens up a little bit? When I was trying a pair on I could not get my big toe to fit through the toe loop. I do have big very very extremely wide feet sz15 6 EEEEEE wide with very chubby fat wide toes that are equally straight across making my foot very very wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. My big toe is 2" inches wide alone so I do have some very fat wide toes. I have to kayak Barefooted 👣style because my foot out-grow shoes , socks , & boots 33 years ago so I am looking for some sandals to wear while kayaking. It sucks having very very extremely wide feet. I was born and raised with extremely wide feet & and it's been difficult all my life trying to find Footwear for my foot. Very good video sir not really enjoyed watching this. I appreciate if you can help me out. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos.

    • @wendellfishing
      @wendellfishing  2 роки тому

      Hey Mack, Thanks for stopping by and for your questions. When it comes to the big toe loop, when you first purchase them...this can be an issue but over time you dial in the fit. They also come without the toe loop if you are worried about it. Also, yes the toe loop is one continuous strap so every part of the sandal strap is adjustable. Hop that helps. These are great sandals and that last about 7-10 years. Keep the questions coming!

    • @mackjenkins7721
      @mackjenkins7721 2 роки тому +1

      @@wendellfishing thank you buddy for replying back and you are welcome. Oh okay you just have to dial them in comfortably. Me & my buddy is looking for a pair & he just told me that they have some without the toe loop. My buddy doesn't have wide feet but his toes are spread out so the pair that I tried on might work for him. But the ones I tried on in the store I found out they was not wide & they only carry the toe loop Style. I think the one with out the toe Loop style in wide is what I need to try on to see if they fit cuz I even try to put the toe loop underneath my big toe but I still cannot even get my foot to fit in the sandal because the straps was not wide enough. I got to try to find a store that would sell the wide version of these sandals. That is awesome that these sandals last 7 - to 10 years man. I was buying flip flops every 6 months at first cuz I was wearing them out really fast to the point that underneath my big toe , the balls of my foot , & the heel of my foot would have a hole through the of footbed of the flip flops until I found a good pair & now I get about a year out of my flip flops. The only problem I have is that the footbed wears out really really fast. I have a nice wide worn-out footprint on the footbed of my flip flops. I really really do appreciate the information thank you so much. Hopefully I can find a pair by Springtime.

    Not having a peddle drive yet, I love carbon fiber paddles. I have an old Aquabound Stingray, and a newer Bending Branches Angler. I paddled a lot with cheap box store paddles, and I will never buy one again. Cheap paddles will wear you out after a few hours. Debating between trying to get a boat this year, or a Hoodoo or Brooklyn Kayaks knockoff of the native kayaks with a peddle drive. I passed the DIY stage years ago, lol.

      Great question. I would imagine that would work. Anything to dull the light. I also know some of the LED strips come with a remote in which you can change colors as well as dimming settings. May be good to invest on the front end if you want this flexibility.

    • @wendellfishing

      Solid question BigD, I sometimes go with less, however I have different power/action rods with different line types and line weights for different lures and cover I'm fishing. I will oftentimes run through 3-4 of my setups in a matter of 5 minutes. I don't like changing out lures when I'm out on the water if its not necessary.
