I use lowrance point 1 with my Garmin. Heading sensors make a big difference. I have heard good things with the steady cast but I haven’t used one.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Hahaha sometimes things just come together in the last hour or so. I wanted to just scope. It was hard to stop.

Ya I’ve never seen it this low.

Trailer. I couldn’t do it in the bed. I have to much permanently mounted. Thing is a battle tank. Launch and load like a boat.

Yes but their aluminum. Super cheap then just use t bolts to secure them to the tracks and bolted the black pack to the aluminum bars.

It’s getting cheaper and cheaper! I went with refurbished units and saved a ton. It’s also the lvs32 and not the 34.

Thanks man! Appreciate it. Absolutely just in time to get tennis elbow then about cut my finger off🤣 only been out with it a few times. Definitely getting back on the horse this weekend. This is my favorite time of year!

Amazon

@@Nategoodwinfishing I found it

@@RiverCertified www.academy.com/p/plano-1812-magnum-field-ammo-box?sku=green

I’m not seeing the exact ones I bought but just search for 10lb 45N sized gas strut on Amazon. There is a bunch of em.

​@@Nategoodwinfishingthat's a real clever idea you added

@@rc3443 why? If I bought the boats I want I’d need a new tow rig and a bigger garage as well as a boat payment. I don’t live anywhere near skiffs so I’m not buying those nor can you fish tournaments in a skiff. Thanks for the useful comment tho. 🤙🏻

I cant stand you "go buy a boat or skiff people" lol this oboously is for your target market....Kayaks are very fun and simple....this is one of yhe best looking Kayak setups ive seen so far...

@@ILoveDarkCoffeethank you!

I used to make the mistake of not fishing a spot if I didn’t see them. No I’ll make a few casts. Just like the first couple decent ones on the ledge. I didn’t see em. Sometimes when they’re sitting on bottom or you don’t hit them at the right angle with the transducer you won’t see em. Always make a few casts if you think there should be some there.

lol I surprisingly kept my mouth shut. It was early, he looked like someone’s grandpa and it legitimately paddled a couple hundred yards straight to me and never looked. I had been fishing that hard spot for at least 5 minutes.

Will do. May go back out there in 2 weeks.

Thanks man!

I think they’re 10” Struts

Why would wanna sell something you can stand and fish to something you have sit and fish and paddle ???

@@Nategoodwinfishing I fish mainly shallow rivers and the Xi3 just ain’t built for that. Just want to try a different approach

@@clintjenkins13ahhh gotcha makes sense. I finally fished a river event recently and paddled it for the first time. With the higher seat it wasn’t to bad fishing sitting down but I found a new respect for the river rats. That shit is hard! lol. You boys can keep it🤣

@@Nategoodwinfishing Oh I understand completely. I’m just worn out on big lakes and fighting glitter boats. 😂 plus those river smallies are awesome

I can run 2 1/2hrs or so at 4mph before the battery is dead. 10+ miles but staying at 1/2-3/4 throttle which is around 3.5-3.7mph I can almost double that run time so then we’re talking 15+ miles. Most I’ve done in a day 10-11 miles give or take according to google earth.

I wish! Some day

lol your probably didn’t get to the part where I talk about that. I’ll save ya some time. I’d need a new tow rig for a bass boat, new bigger garage, boat payment, now new truck payment, yearly maintenance, 40-100$ at least every time I use it. Also can’t afford a brand new fiberglass rig so I’d be buying used so then you gotta worry about breakdowns and how much that costs. Unfortunately as much and as long as I’ve wanted a bass boat it’s an absolute awful purchase. Will I have one, definitely but for the next couple years this “kayak” will do. If they had big national Jon boat tournaments you’d see me in a Jon boat.

@@Nategoodwinfishingit’s a sweet ass rig for sure. You’ve got it just about perfect. I just started kayak fishing this week actually. I’m still learning to paddle. Thanks for showing us around the boat

Thanks man. I’ve heard that too. I’m sure a new edition or a different brand will have something like it.

Hell ya. How’d you like it?

@Nategoodwinfishing I would of stayed on the one spot for longer. The fish were active. But i wanted to try a point on the warm side. Got there, chased a few, but it got to hot so I left. I'm thinking about going back soon. I really like that lake. But it really gave me confidence that I understand my electronics. I'm going to try Monroe soon also. Just not many lakes around u can find off shore fishing like that. Or at least I don't know of any.

@@garydennis5178summit, mill creek, supposedly eagle creek, Monroe, blue grass and patoka are ones I know that win offshore

@Nategoodwinfishing eagle Creek has some nice humps. But the shad is nothing like Newton. Monroe I was going to explore. Now, figuring out my sonar offshore bite is fun and a challenge. I find it on side scan.

@Nategoodwinfishing if there is shad. The bass are on the bottom below them.

It’s a good one!

I hate to hear that! Hopefully they come in soon.

@@Nategoodwinfishing I have to be honest, I am NOT impressed at all with Hobie Customer Service or that of the marina where I bought the Pricey Kayak!! Not sure I will buy another Hobie!

I got it off Amazon. 20$ for 2 of those net pockets.

Thanks it’s a good one

Thanks man! It makes a difference when it’s hot and no wind that’s for sure. Gonna get a bigger one soon.

The non spot lock is a lot cheaper and you can upgrade the gps later. I made a video about fishing in heavy wind without spot lock. It’s honestly better to not use it when it’s extremely windy.

Hahaha just a little run off no nest. I bled multiple times from these damn fish lol

Thanks man!

Yes they can!

I’ve been in the boat with a few different garmins but never owned one. This is a lowrance TI2 12”. Kinda depends on what you want. They all have their pros and cons. Garmin is the cheapest when it comes to getting a unit and FFS but I think I’d stick with lowrance if money wasn’t an issue.

Thanks for the reply man! One more question, do you still love the minnkota bow mount motor? Would you change anything after having it for awhile? I know a few other stern motors are available. Just curious because that’s the next thing I want to add to my nucanoe so I can do more fishing and less padding 🤣

⁠@@bamabowhunter8499I’ve got the motorguide xi3. I wouldn’t be in a kayak without a bow mount. I’ve never paddled my unlimited. If you like to stand and fish go with the bow mount. If you like to sit and fish a stern might be better for you.

Absolutely thanks!

Thanks dood !

Thanks man

Thanks mang! Unless it’s a treble hooked bait or light line I’m gonna pencil sharpen em in !
