I can float the idea by him 🤣

Do tell.

@catchinwithkyle5567 At the race track (rally, road course, or drag racing), playing baseball with my son or watching him play on his team, hunting, motorboating, jetskis, fishing with my son, and many other things. Then, paddling down a beautiful river alone. But I would prefer to be with my son and wife.

This is a one clown shown 😂

Sorry for late response, I didn't get the notification. Id say a kayak or boat is necessary. I dont live there but have been several times. With the amount of grass and private property its hard to bank fish unless you target crappie/bluegill

She got me!

😆

I'll let you know when I get official word.

I haven't had the pleasure of visiting it yet...."yet"! Tight lines on tour!

Thank you kindly! Hope you make it out here someday. Scott and his crew run a great operation and oneida is a treasure. Tight lines 🙏

Basically! It's a pedal drive system you can attach a motor unit to.

Nice

thehookuptackle.com/ But they are often out of stock. You have to check frequently or follow their website on instagram.

@@catchinwithkyle5567 thanks. I couldn't catch the name of the site. I didn't add 'the' in the website name. Thanks.

Fingers crossed!

Can't trust a rodent!

🤣😢

So refreshing

I have heard it being done but it won't bond the same way that plastic welding with HDPE does, leaving you vulnerable to failure and taking on water.

I hope they do too. Like I mention in the video, when it gets cold I will have to layer up underneath these but thats when air temps dip in the 40s (insulated jogging pants or long johns with jeans). Sweet spot for these is 50-70 degrees with a pair of jeans/fishing pants.

Have you tried resin and fiberglass? Those are great tools but I've never used it to repair a plastic kayak so I would hesitate to recommend it since I'm not sure it's appropiate for this job.

@@jaimeogrady6843 Thanks Jamie! I have not. You are right, they are not appropriate for the task for a couple reasons. They won't bind well to the HDPE and it isn't as resilient. Not to mention it can be messy.

@@catchinwithkyle5567 thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately you'll never find a garment that will stay waterproof for more than a year or two. I have had great luck with my Under Armor Fishing jacket but they don't produce it anymore.

@@catchinwithkyle5567 Thanks, I need to pony up for Gortex and stop buying disposable bibs. I used to kayak fish before getting a boat and I had a great experience with the Kokakat Tempest pants. Still water proof after many seasons, probably because they're Gortex.

About 25 12 inchers. Thanks for asking! Howd you all do?

@@catchinwithkyle5567 we didnt do any good but we were crappie fishing

@@waynesaved7946 I saw a couple up shallow but most of them are still out deep from what I see with my graph. That will change soon!

I'm a hair under 5'11" and 190 currently. It fits comfortably with jeans/sweatpants and a sweatshirt on. It certainly isn't baggy. If you don't enjoy the fit, I'm pretty sure AFTCO will take care of you and send you a medium. It's almost too long for my height but I could tighten the shoulder straps to raise it a bit, I just keep forgetting to do that.

Purchased in 2014. I have it out about twice a week year round. Every kayak has weak points where they are prone to cracking. People having their kayaks shipped directly to them is one major reason there have been a lot of issues. If you can get a kayak from a dealer, you will be much better off.

Yeah I just purchased a feel free boat last week. I have been spending the rest of this week researching how to fix the damage. Boat was in the water 30 mins before filling with water. I wouldn’t buy one again at this point and I would avoid polyethylene hulls.

@@amschroed89 wow!! That's messed up, to say the least! Sorry for your trouble. Did you buy it new? From a dealer or was it shipped direct? Also, have you reached out to either the dealer or Feel Free. I was getting close to reaching a decision on a Moken 10 V2, but now i don't know. Like i pointed out in my previous post, i've stumbled on more of these situations with these than i would have thought. Really makes me hesitant to buy one

@@bobrich1950 I bought from a dealer. I am sure it was my fault tightening down too hard during transportation. This is the first kayak I have owned so it was ignorance on my part. I didn’t realize the consequences. feel free is sending plastic welding rods and maybe some other things to help the fix but we’ll see how that goes. I have already attempted plastic welding twice and because of where it is located it keeps popping the weld whenever I move the kayak around. At the moment, like I said before I’d avoid polyethylene, or if you do get one push on the hull and see how much give it has. Firm is better because if you do get a hole or crack you have more options. Not many things out there can maintain watertight integrity and flex from what I have found so far. To say it’s been frustrating is an understatement.

@@amschroed89 Good luck finding a yak these days that isn't made from polyethylene. Seems they all are, at least in my research. One product i've not seen anyone try in dealing with these cracks, is Flex Seal. Have seen it advertised quite a bit. Of course they show it doing amazing things. Down side would be if it too fails, then you have a different material on your boat to deal with. Good luck sir. I hope it works out for you. Let us know if you come up with a solution that works. Thanks

Oh I agree, next time I need to do a repair, I will try to create a more brief overview or break it into separate videos. Thanks for the feeeback.

We can certainly talk. Reach out to me on my Facebook page.

Oh but I do pound monsters and punch holes in matted vegetation 🤣 . Thanks for watching!

Glad to be of service. Let me know if you have any questions.

@@catchinwithkyle5567 Having trouble separating the plastic handle. If I use the flathead screw driver, it looks like it will damage the plastic.

Yes it can be difficult to seperate at first. I have small pry bars too but they both cause slight damage. Just take your time with it to minimalize any damage.

@@catchinwithkyle5567 Got it done. The other problem is the process of getting the net on. But it is done. Thanks!

@@jroley2204 Oh no doubt that it can be a pain haha but not too bad when you get the hang of it!
