Enjoying your videos as I'm thinking of getting a kayak for some bass fishing etc, is there a novice kayak to consider or are most of the fishing kayaks good for an inexperienced chap like myself ?👍

@@steiphen I haven’t had one that size off there in a long time but you never know. My last few times I fished there had loads of strap congers. Whole Squid and Black Lug just nipped and free flowing off the hook in the tide I found works best. December through to February are the best months.

Looks fun out on a yak but not sure I'd like the boat traffic. Nice catch, been a good year for them. I'd personally half the size of the baits for less dropped runs and a better hook up rate.
@Theyakler3 ай бұрын
@@byronnewman890 The boat traffic that day was unusual they must have had a race but scary how quickly they go past at those speeds. I do half my bait sizes but I find it sometimes attracts the wrong target like dogfish and congers. Also when I half the bait sizes the hook up ends up being deeper and harder to get the hook out plus the cable gets bitten through.

@@mogz00002 If you plan on fishing more than a couple hundred meters from the shore I would recommend a 13foot kayak they more stable and easier to paddle. Peddle kayaks are becoming popular but they so expensive.

Cool idea. Have you tested breaking the quick tie on your anchor? It looks too thick to me. I use the same system on my 18.5’ fiberglass boat and that’s about the thickness of a tie strap I use. I think your kayak doesn’t have enough buoyancy or stability to be able to pull hand enough to break it. Secondly, if you need to use tie straps to hold your knots together something is wrong. Either you’re using the wrong rope or your knot is the wrong one. Try proper marine rope or just use a “Boline” knot. Best knot ever. I’ve used them for decades. Never ever slip and can always be released by hand even after pulling a 21’ cabinet cruiser off a beach at low tide. Check it out. You will be amazed. I really like you anchor trolley. I’m going to build a mini “Rocna” anchor for my kayak and use your connection method. I’d love to hear back from you about your impression of the boline knot. Thanks for your video.
