That's a great idea! I think you’ll like it for both!

That one is their old version they don’t sell on their website anymore but they have a Bluetooth one that connects to your phone now. ampedoutdoors.com/products/bluetooth-smart-capacity-meter

thanks! it's probably my favorite technique!

Haha thanks I just love throwing a squarebill! I plan to make a detailed squarebill video on the future just not ready yet haha

Thanks! I’ll have to check your channel out and give it a sub as well!

Do you fish any of the series?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks,awesome meeting ya in passing today! I had to head out a little early today but it was a good day on the water! Thanks again and good luck to you as well!

Thanks! subbed as well. Looking forward to checking out your content!

Thanks!

Not really. Two wins on this series this year have come south of 36. One of my best days ever on that lake came south of 36 and the AOY from ‘22 was fishing the complete other side of the lake.

True that is the downside of having one

Yes it’s true game changing for fishing!

half my reels are right and half are left, weird but I use both haha

About 10 more haha

I did once when I first got a kayak and was on the river. Was just a fun float and wasn't even fishing. Got pinned up against a log and flipped her.

I’ve read it’ll last 100 cycles (down and up being 1 cycle) but I’ve never ran the battery down in a day. I do charge it after every trip

Thank you

Thanks!

Wow that’s awesome!

That’s a great idea! Thanks! I can’t remember exactly how deep this was but probably 10’ range, just got lucky when I came back a couple days later dragging bottom

It’s just sediment or something

I get stuck a lot but making sure my Texas rig hook is buried in the plastic almost every cast helps out. Also different brands of baits work better in the real thick stuff depending on how durable the plastic is.

Thanks that was actually the first one I’ve caught flipping. Have caught several with a crankbait tho

@@theloonangler Oh yeah. Cool. I’ve caught bass while catfishing. ( using worms and sometimes they strike when reeling in ). I live in Cali best of luck my friend. Great to hear fishing stories. Rock on bidfy

Grrr. That was supposed to say BUDDY. sorry

I used to not carry that many but I go through a lot of rods sometimes in a day on the water

right this is too much stuff. like its fishing dude. a boat and a few rods tackle box/bag and some drinks. this dude got a whole ass bass pro shop on his kayak. FFS

And I love every minute of it

Fuck those guys, bring 100 poles if you like. So long as you enjoying yourself the way you want!!! ​@@theloonangler

Thanks!

It’s a fun lake!

ya most people can catch a bass. I used to go with my family up to northern Minnesota on fishing trips and I loved going after musky and pike. Not many areas where I'm at now that have them though and I love to bass fish.

Thanks! It’s one of my favorite lakes. It can be a little stingy but once you figure it out it’s pretty much non stop action all day!

@@theloonangler I definitely want to go back we were going on a regular basis and that’s how I felt about it! Also loved catching some great crappie and white bass in it!

Thanks Gary, hope to see you out there soon!

Thanks. I wasn’t initially but I’ve had some problems the last time out with the steadycast. I need to recalibrate it I think and hoping that fixes it.

Appreciate it!

Thanks! Ya I’m using the scuppers. If you don’t with the front mount motor then water will come up through the scuppers when you are going full throttle

Thank! Been trying to learn some new things and have some cool stuff coming down the pipeline!

Thanks! I've done well with a squarebill crankbait there.

Thanks!

Thanks!

It takes some getting used to that’s for sure!

I don’t. I bought that trailer years ago for $100 to haul my 4 wheeler. I just replaced the hubs, tires, added bearing buddies and added submersible lights. The top rack I just added wood 2x4’s to haul a 2nd kayak

I was worried about my weight and all the gear I bring. When I put this kayak together I weighed EVERYTHING, including what was already on the kayak such as seat, pedals, paddle etc.,. With this setup I'm sitting at 235 lbs in gear/equipment. Add my weight and I'm still easily 150 pounds under carrying capacity of 600 lbs for the Hobie Pro Angler 14

Thanks, I get what you're saying but to be totally honest I very rarely use livescope like you see on the major tournament trails. I am a shallow water angler mostly and I rarely sit in one spot. I have found a few ways to make the livescope work for me that way. I hope to make some more videos this year how I use it shallow. I'd much rather lock a squarebill in my hand all day and just go hunting and thats usually what I end up doing.

It won’t dig it but it’ll create enough friction to hold you. One thing to be careful with on rock is it will push your kayak up since it can’t dig in and may be come more unstable. One of the lakes I fish regularly in this video has a lot of boulders and rock and I use it there all the time

I use it on St Clair like that and there’s a stretch on another lake with deep water I use it like that all the time

I could see where that would help but when I'm on the river I run a anchor wizard off of the bow. That system has worked well for me and honestly I usually just turn around and fish vs. even using the anchor wizard

@@theloonangler yeah, that's what I'm planning while rigging the new yak

are you running a bow mount motor?

@@theloonangler I will have both options

@FishinWithGRAMPS I took a 2nd xi3 quick disconnect and added the anchor wizard so I can add it quick if I don’t want to use my motor
