I've always found it good luck to have a great dog on the boat! Pretty, and smart ladies are helpful too. But, Oly clearly knows his place and knows when to bark when he hears "fish on!" and the net comes out! Good boy Oly.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

He’s the best!

[@calebcastano9126]

That dog is awesome I love how it loads up in the boat like that. Mine won't even get close to it

[@Stittsy1963]

I needed some ideas for my set up. Thanks!

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Randy Stittsworth welcome!

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Oly marked it as his territory 🐶Sweet boat Ash 🤙

[@BadAshOutdoors]

NW Fishing Secrets thanks, friends! Oly is such a stinker!

[@outdoorshack7541]

Hey Leif!!!

[@user-mm5ly6ru6s]

Nice seats and everything !

[@stevet8121]

Well thought out set up! I'm in northern CA and can remember the first drift boat I ever saw. Someone from Oregon brought a homemade one down to fish the Eel River. We all didn't think much of them at the time, but when we saw how effective they were, well you know the rest of the story. Tight lines Bad Ash!

[@rickyrath1877]

I enjoyed your commentary. Well done!

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Oh gosh I’m glad someone does!

[@jamesdriscoll9405]

Great video! Oly wants to go fishing!

[@BadAshOutdoors]

James Driscoll yes he does!

[@pelewads]

As a former lab breeder, I love the relationship and training you have with Olie.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Peleg Wadsworth thank you! I had some amazing help while starting his training

[@ladorudie9668]

Very good video! You were definitely born to guide!

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Glad you think so!

[@Bearingguy]

Looking for a drift boat and came across your channel. Keep up the good work

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Thank you so much!!

[@BrianDexter]

Now I gotta get some Oar Buddies for my Clacka. Great Video!

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Brian Dexter yeah they are super helpful!

[@rippatrick1]

Great video - timeless in a way. Im new to the drift boat world and ordered a boat which will be delivered in the spring. So I am learning as much as I can in advance of hitting the water. On the topic of anchors - what is your opinion of lead vs composite anchors (such as the torpedo stack)?

[@John-dt5dd]

Drift boat. 18 1/2 fish was still here, salmon on the rogue river Charlton Bay is good crabbing with a drift boat and big salmon 11:24 11:24

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Interesting to see other people a set up there boats . I run a Clakacraft Eddy here in Montana and love it . What’s it like rowing this with two people in front ? I see this setup quite a bit in the pacific NW . Thanks for sharing.

[@genericx2347]

That is the best drift boat ever produced.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@lawrenceblue8207]

I like how you are organized your boat setup and equipment professional. Are you taking any advance setup guide services for October silver salmon fishing?

[@BadAshOutdoors]

I am taking tentative reservations- but I am not sure how things are going to pan out in the fall.

[@chrishorne4492]

I like the anchor pedal! Was that an add-on, or did it come with your Clack? I'd like to figure out a way to incorporate that into my Willie Drift Boat.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

It came with my Clack

[@1148bucknasty]

What a good boy

[@BadAshOutdoors]

He is such a good boy!

[@Fishing_Rod_Engineer]

What kind of trolling rod holders do you have and how do you mount them?

[@scottjones2717]

I'm in the Willamette Valley and getting ready summer steelhead. I've been doing mostly soft beads this winter. Should I stick with this pattern, or go to worms or jigs? I know cork and yarnie are used a lot too.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

I certainly would not rule out jigs and worms. Stick with your pattern, but bring a good variety of tools and lures with you. Size down on your jigs and worms for potentially lower and clearer water. Here's a hot tip for you- since Steelhead are an anadromous rainbow trout- lots of things that are highly tested on trout will work well for steelhead. Pick up some powerbait, and tip your jig with a little ball of powerbait. Scented, and a great color additive! Lots of science that has gone into Powerbait as an attractant for trout- use it to your advantage for steelhead.

[@scottjones2717]

@@BadAshOutdoorsThanks for the scent tip. Also sizing down. Been using 14mil beads. I'll drop them down to 10s. B&R soft beads have been awesome. I've used size 4 Blue Fix spinners. Should I drop that size also? Thank you again Ash

[@gotchahookedfishtrip]

What size oars you running in that clack my daughter just purchase one

[@lurebenson7722]

My Lure Benson designed and built by me for sale drift boats - sleds - Dory's I use the pully system on the right side of the drift boat and often use on my other boats and use a double pully for the anchor system giving leverage to pulling up the anchor. For me the floor step & drop anchor system here is to slow and by the time you've grunted to get that anchor up the boat has slipped 20 feet down river. I also would never leave my oars up out of the water which caused the drift boat to slip & slide from side to side. Placing the oars in the water with the blade vertical acts as a rudder keeping the drift boat straight on anchor. Another plus of my drift boats is an inverted water Ruder system to assisting the drift boat in tracking strait along with my drift boats have a 2"x1" UHMW chines and the bottom of my boats are armored with 1/4 UHMW skid shoes. Summer of 2023 will be a new 14 foot drift boat model that is already started.

[@nicktaylor1486]

What do you do for fish storage? I bleed them on a rope with a clip, then put the fish in a kill bag.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Nick Taylor I have a kill bag that I used too

[@BadAshOutdoors]

I try to bleed them as long as I can over the boat too. Ever worry about fish coming off the rope?

[@flyfishing8017]

What kind of oars/locks are those? Never seen them on a Clacka.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Pro Locks!

[@John-dt5dd]

Drip best way to fish with salmon, steelhead and crabbing. I’ll do it all. 10:36

[@jakeroth3879]

Hi, I’m new to your channel. Why did you choose a glass boat over a metal one?

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Hello Jake, and welcome! I chose a glass boat because I felt more confident rowing less weight. I can manage three people, gear, a Labrador, and a bag of fish just fine in lower water or sketchy situations. I felt less confident in my strength with a big metal tank. Hope you enjoy the Quinault fishing video- there you see the boat in aciton :)

[@jakeroth3879]

@@BadAshOutdoors yep, saw that video. Great stuff!!! The Claka Max is a dude of a drift boat perfect what you do. I’ve had my drift boat for 15 years and counting. It’s aluminum and I don’t guide with it just fish. I keep my crew small it works well that way. Tight lines to ya!

[@BlackWarriorLures]

In the long-term, I'm gonna have to save for a boat like this.

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

What’s the thing on your anchor? The orange stop thing? Where do you get it from? I need need one lol

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Its a dog toy that was slide onto the rope, its to keep the anchor from whacking the pully area when it comes up

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

@@BadAshOutdoors yup! That’s what I need. Just switched to a single pull rope. Thanks

[@BadAshOutdoors]

@@mainetroutwhisperer You're welcome! Be safe out there :)

Put the oars under your legs when you’re floating out of water trick of the trade

[@joesmo2840]

That didn’t come out right

[@BadAshOutdoors]

@@joesmo2840 Hahahaha, Thanks for the tip Joe! I appreciate that!

[@tro4404]

I used to sit in my Clacka in the side yard and drink a beer on non-fishing days. I sold that boat and that was a mistake. Now I just sit in the side yard with a beer wishing I didn't sell that boat.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

hahaha! Yeah I hear you, I am actually going to sell mine soon

[@TheWelton49]

What do you look for in steelhead water?

[@BadAshOutdoors]

Great video.... how about having a first aid kit?? Regard Richard.. uk.

[@BadAshOutdoors]

YES! I have one in the boat, I should have highlighted that! Thank you for your comment!

Rs net made in Ohio, they are definitely still open!

[@BadAshOutdoors]

OH really!?!?!?! Thats great to know!

[@jenks626]

Fersure! Atleast I believe your net is an RS net from the look of it. I have had one for 4 years and recently just had them send me another hoop in a smaller size. Rsnetsusa.com and the contact number is listed on the site.

[@anthonywessel8932]
