Kayak Fishing: Surviving the Pecos River - Part 3 | Field Trips with Robert Field
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Two years ago, Bert and Dan Rodriguez attempted to kayak fish their way down 61 miles of the Lower Pecos River from Pandale Crossing to the Pecos High Bridge. Halfway through their trip, flash floods trapped them at their campsite, forcing them to abandon their gear and evacuate via helicopter.
Now, two years later, Bert and Dan have returned to the Pecos to finish what they started, and they've invited me along to document the trip.
In Part Three, we spend a day exploring Lewis Canyon, where we'll find rock carvings that are thousands of years old. Then on Day Four, we'll navigate several big rapids on our way to Painted Canyon, one of the most beautiful campsites I've ever stayed at.
Come along for the adventure in part three of this four-part miniseries.

This is what kayak fishing is about. The adventure, not going to the same places. Awesome video series.
What amazing footage and looks like an Awesome place to fish and camp.
Thanks man. That river has a special place in my heart for sure.
this series just gets better and better, I truly want to float this river. what a great filming job and the vidio itself. All I can say is simply awesome! love it.
Thanks for the kind words Andrew! Glad you're liking it. Part 4 (the finale) of this series airs Tuesday.
Jeez I can't imagine all the extra time it takes to nail the drone photography in the rapid scenes. Yall are pros!
That was all Daniel Rodriguez on the drone. It was a lot of hassle, but I was so glad he brought it once I saw the footage.
This river trip is a blast me and a few buddies have made the trip its amazing scenery for sure and awesome bass and cat fishing. Ozona tx in the house lol!!!
+Justin Rodriquez it's one of my favorite places in the country man. Life changing. If you've been, you know!
Everything of this series is beautiful. From the struggle to it's pure awe. I left like I was there with every paddle. Thank you for capturing and sharing every moment. Rock on! Tight lines and keep your head on a swivel!! 🤘🏽
I wish I was there, you doing what you do had put me interested into kayak fishing 👍
Nice! It was an incredible trip.
Love these Pecos River vids
Better than anything on TV! Awesome series
Love the video Robert, can't wait for part 4
beautiful man just beautiful.....ready for the next 1
Yes it is. Part 4 (the finale) of this series airs Tuesday. Thanks for checking 'em out!
Watching you pull that dog cactus out of your ankle brought back terrible memories. lol Glad you enjoyed the Pecos. I got trapped on it as an Explorer scout about 40 years ago and have never been so scared in my life. That river can come up 20 feet in the blink of an eye. Really enjoyed your videos!
Thanks for the kind words Jay! It's a special place. Reliving the horror of the Langtry Flood was emotional for sure, and I'm certain you experienced something similar.
I am so jealous looks like a really fun and beautiful trip!
It definitely was!
Loved every minute of your video. Some day when I manage to come up with the right gear I might go explore this area. Also the rock carvings were very interesting.
It’s an incredible part of the country.
@@YakFishField One of the most amazing things shown in the video were the springs. I would love to see that someday.
Awesome, your videos are getting better and better. This trip is on my bucket list.
Glad you're liking 'em Enoc!
Looking fwd to the next installment. Your extended travel videos rate right up there with a NatGeo or History Channel production.
I appreciate that Greg! That's the dream one day, to get a show on a network like that. We'll see! Part 4 (the finale) of this series airs Tuesday.
Did the exact trip last year about the same time, but took 10 days. The nights were great, the number of fire flies each night was amazing.
Amazing video! You never stop making me proud son
Robert...dude....what the hell?! The editing is sick bro! Loved every bit of this episode! the scenery gets better and better.
Great...Great... Great...Great Video!!
Thanks Brian!
Looks like a blast! looks so green after the rain
awesome! can't wait for the next part
Thanks Clay! Part 4 (the finale) of this series airs Tuesday.
Great adventure. Good story lines, music, filming, and fishing. Looking forward to your next installment! Mark Hanna
Your filmmaking technique is on point!
This is my favorite video out of all of your adventure series videos. This really portrayed how beautiful the area is. Great job.
Thanks man, I appreciate that! Part 4 (the finale) of this series airs Tuesday.
Well done, interesting, inspiring. Thanks.
Thanks Daniel!
Really enjoyed the first 2, can't wait to watch this one! Excellent work!!
Glad you're enjoying 'em! Part 4 (the finale) of this series airs Tuesday. Thanks for checking them out!
Love this series and the Devils River one
Great video Robert! I always look forward to your videos. You should do more like this series and the canoe series!
Reminds me, where I work all security officers have to be EMR certified. I've taken plenty of cactus spines out of hands and legs, using pliers. In our case, it is golfers retrieving their errant balls and not paying attention to the desert terrain, which by the way is cover for all other things either stingy or poisonous. One aspect of the job is capturing and releasing rattlers, that's actually kind of fun.
+Patrick Connors those dog pear cacti are gnarly man. Rattlesnakes, umm, count me out haha
We use tongs and place them in containers for transport, lol. It's not that dangerous.
Bucket list for sure ..
Go do it Craig! It's an incredible place, you won't regret it.
awesome video. I wanna do something like this when I become more experienced.
thanks for sharing.
beautiful scenery
Awesome work man, watching your videos make me want to start a fishing UA-cam channel. Hope to one day be able to. Keep up the good work and keep enjoying life to the fullest.
Thanks brother! It ain't always easy, but I'm definitely having fun.
this is one of the best videos i've seen, great job
Thanks Dan! Be sure to check out the rest of the series on my channel, this was Part 3 of 4. Part 4 (the finale) of this series airs Tuesday.
Beautiful!
Thank you! Oh, you meant the river...
Yes lol. Awesome place!
Amazing, that is all I can say!
Thanks man, glad you liked it!

EXCELENTE VISEOS LOS 3 Y HERMOSOS PAISAJES FELICIDADES ROBERT

As a guy learning to make videos and do edits.. You do a really nice job. Great videos
Good stuff brother! looking like an amazing trip!
It definitely was man, you need to do it. Thanks for checking it out!
Outstanding video !!!!
+southwestcatfishing AZ thanks dude!
Been waiting for this one. awesome vids
Thanks man!
este video e perfeito ...
muito bem feito
parabéns
BRAVO!!! your killing it dude! I envy your editing skills . Loving every minute of the series
And how can you not know who Steve Rinella is?? But thats the second time I have heard someone compare you 2, and thats a huge compliment!
Hey Robert you are my favorite youtuber, I watch u all the time ever since I first found your channel last year, your editing style is amazing keep it up
Thanks for sharing the fishing trip and the beautiful scenery of the Pecos River. Obviously the rocky bottom dragging of the “sit on top kayaks” are the only boats for doing the Pecos. Do you mind to discuss the types and specs of your boats? How did you carry your gear and food? Which boats did the best, the one you liked the best? The price of the boats? It’s a lot to ask I know; but, I’m interested and thought to give it a try. I live in central Texas and would be interested in doing the rivers of Texas. I am sorely ignorant of the type boat best to use on the small rivers. Thank you.
Well for a week-long trip you need something pretty specific, but for a day river trip or even over night er you don’t need anything fancy. I was in a Wilderness Systems ATAK and was happy with how it performed. I carried gear and food in dry bags inside the hull of my kayak. Sit on tops are hollow with storage hatches to access the inside. Tons of room for gear. Just buy camping gear designed for backpacking (small, lightweight) and you’ll be set.
Robert Field thank you.
TMI lol. Great video. and yes prickly pear is a bitch. The long spines are not even the worst.
Yeah those things are gnarly
that water is absolutely gorgeous. when will the next episode be up?
Yes it is man! Part 4 (the finale) of this series airs Tuesday. Thanks for checking em out John!
Gotta love the S/O to History Channel's Ancient Aliens @ 06:00. Ha! Love it!
These videos are so good you should of tried to get a tv crew and made a tv series but great videos!
That's the dream buddy. I wish it were as simple as just "getting a TV crew," haha. One day!
Your editing and choice of music for certain scenes remind me of Steven Rinella from Meat Eater but, with Kayaks and fishing instead.
Haha not sure who that is, but I'll take it as a compliment.
It is lol.
Are those Smith Optics Guide's Choice Sunglasses? They look great!
Great part 3. I really like the drone footage as you all shot the rapids. Just curious, how did the yaks hold up to the rocks in the way of cuts and gashes?
They definitely take abuse on this kind of river, no doubt about it. We had one guy crack his hull, the top side where the seat rested on it. But otherwise just aesthetic damage.
back in the 70s my family leased some land near the pecos river .......on the first day we first moved there, I was exploring out back near the corral, and got one of those big cactus in my bare foot...my dad was going to pull it out, but I was afraid of the pain, and I said stop...he asked me to hand him a nearby rock to help get it out, and while I was reaching for the rock, he just yanked out the cactus thorn quickly...same type of cactus shown in this video....
Haha yeah man they don't feel good when they come out. Like I told Dan, "like a bandaid bro."
Dog Pear Cactus. You make sure you leave those down there.
Oh we did, along with some of our blood. Haha
Dope !
+Jay Beatz thanks Jay!
Dope
nice video
Thanks!
Is this in Texas or New Mexico? I've been along the Pecos up in the Santa Fe National Forest around Cowles, NM...it's pretty narrow up there, but the trout fishing is awesome!!
IMHO the smaller bass taste better. Just over the legal size is usually the best eating.
I agree, just wasn't sure how many I'd catch so I decided not to be picky. None of them went to waste and they all tasted amazing after a long day!
The Indians completely knew about the winter solstice before western man even had a name for it. We are so far removed from these people that we forget how they lived. They were more in tune with nature than we could ever fathom.
I agree
Lol how was that dump in those crazy bushes
Gnarly. Those cane chutes were the worst part of the trip. So many cuts.
Super sweet trip enjoyed watching..... getting a pedal kayak soon.... adventures await..... tight lines my friend....
Where do you find that great music? Also, are their certain music artists you like to use for your video's?
Hey Robert, How well did your ATAK do on the river? Looking to do some river fishing in addition to small lakes. Would you recommend a 14 foot yak or something smaller? Thanks
Where exactly were you located during this Part 3? Would I be at least close if I guessed, South of Carlsbad, N.M.?
I thougt your were going to use the drone for an a obove look o the carvings
We did? The footage is in there.
I will see it again! Thank you for answering!
Get it y'all have to eat, but man seeing y'all take fish from such a pristine place was a bit aggravating. Wish it could've been throats hooked fish or something
Robert what kayak is that?
That's the Wilderness Systems ATAK 140, I talk about it in Part One.
Great video! Would you ever consider going back to a nice paddling paddle kayak such as a Wilderness Systems Thresher or Ocean Kayak Trident for places where shallow water isn't an issue or are you sold on the Hobie system? Just curious. .
Kayak Fisher1987 he is in a wilderness systems kayak in this video.
Yes but its not a thresher. Its an ATAK. You could never use a hobie in that rocky river.
What the name of the intro song? It's great
I thought that I had watched this series, but no, lol. Excellent adventure, but first things first...
You never said if you had a good dump 😂
How did you keep everything charged for that long?
Last trip he was using a biolite wood burning camp stove not sure if thats what he is using this time tho
I brought a bunch of extra batteries and battery banks to recharge them. The BioLite Stove is another great option, charges your stuff from fire. There's also one that works as a little turbine that you put in running water to charge USB devices.
what type of tent did you use
What size dry bag did you use?
who's the artist/song name at 7:00?
Lol "No way they knew anything about a summer and winter solstice".. You think yourself educated when you only recall the knowledge the ancients discovered. Maybe you meant the just didn't know the words winter and summer solstice ;) they clearly understood the concepts
Right
