Ocean Kayak Fishing Isn't Fun Anymore..

Video is a couple weeks old.... got to the beach with kayak in tow right after sunrise, drove around looking for 50lb stripers leaping out of the water but instead saw a whole lot of nothing.. drove around with Tenzin for a little while searching for any sign of life worth launching the kayaks for... found the fleet and I scouted it out from the beach.. It didnt look to promising.. Romo and Mike arrived.. we got out into the ocean a little before 9am... penetrated the fleet and found they were working a huge school of peanut bunker with very few fish on them, didn't see anyone hook up or any bait spraying, a couple hours passed, the fleet disappeared, started finding little pieces of life here and there, Romo got a nice Bluefish, there were some 24"-30" Bass working some peanuts in tight... it was basically dead all over out there and the only life we found was tight to the beach. Decided to try to find some structure and tog fish mid afternoon... caught a short.. then lost a drag puller (which I didn't have on video), before seeing the birds come back to life. Chased birds for the last hour of the day, they would pop up here and there and move quickly but I caught several bass and a bluefish on topwater before the day was over. Luckily the Bluefish I caught was able to destroy my waders while I was unhooking it. I missed a lot of blowups out there, the fish were doing their typical "hit the lure a bunch of times before actually eating it" but by days end I caught enough fish that I was semi satisfied... until it was time to go in. The waves/swell on this day were a little dicey and thanks to my poor timing I caught a nice wave which flipped my kayak, and lost just about all of my tackle.
From the beginning of this day, after seeing dead water everywhere and then seeing the one fleet.. I wanted to bail on the striper persuit and drive another hour to try to get on some big tog, but I went against my better judgement and paddled the many miles and took a ton of casts all for some short bass and an average bluefish, destroyed my waders, and flipped my kayak.. but in the end, it was a beautiful november day with my friends on the water, even tho the fishing was tough it was still fun and I have no intentions to stop the ocean kayaking
Luckily the beach bite lit up in the days preceding this which you saw in my last video.. I have a few days of footage to sift through but those videos will be coming up shortly. After editing the epic underwater blitz video I have been facing some serious lack of motivation to go through all these vids and put together less epic vids than that last one.. This here video took me a few days to piece together.. some kind of writers block.. editors block?
Hopefully you enjoyed watching at least parts of this slow day of fishing and can laugh at my misfortune as I roll through the surf.. This was my first time "turtling" as they call it, and I should really be better prepared for this, every time, with leashes for all my rods and waterproof containers, but if you havent noticed by now, I am lazy and irresponsible and always put forth the minimum effort into maintaining my gear and well being... I dont think that will ever change. Luckily that box of plugs didnt have too many good lures in it...

[@owlstead]

OK, some hints from somebody who surfs the ocean waves with a 5m ocean kayak. 0. remove anything that sticks out from under or at the side of your boat 1. get your paddle out; you don't have any support otherwise (learn the low brace, it's easy, only required for breaking waves in that kinda surf) 2. you need to keep calm and time your run, which should be easy with the low frequency waves - wait a bit for the big waves to subside 3. let the last big wave go under you (paddle and lean back if it decides to not do this, and start again), but generally you want to have some forward momentum for step 5 4. follow that wave and strongly paddle straight to shore, note that the wave will nicely suck you in if you stay right behind it; and without speed you cannot control your kayak 5. get out once you are about knee deep and walk the kayak in, grabbing it at the back so you don't get run over by your own kayak when hit by a wave, the problem with beaching is that a wave may still tip you over: get out fast and clean Wear surfing gear, not fishing gear, and include a PFD (there are great ones for fishing with many pockets). With such nice weather, first take a swim in the shallows, so you know you're safe if you get tipped over. I just took an ocean dip at 15 degrees celcius; if you cannot rescue yourself in the water you're going to travel in: don't go in your kayak. Anything not waterproof, tied to the boat and preferably floating should be considered lost before starting any journey. Even if you can afford to lose your stuff, please don't litter the ocean. But most importantly: practice without the fishing stuff. And keep doing it, because trust me that this quickly becomes fun and addictive.

[@michaellopez-lq5fn]

Too many people think that if some one does something they disagree with, than they need to rag on the person en mass to try to show the person they are wrong. I find a much better way is to thoroughly explain why a person is wrong and how they could do things better. Thank you for being a real good person. Hope certain others take hints

if you're unsure about landing in the surf, get your paddle and paddle in backwards. You'll be able to see the waves and deal with them accordingly while working your way back in. You won't get surprised by a bigger wave since you're looking out to the ocean. Always keep the nose of the kayak pointed right into the waves, you cant flip this way. This method is much slower but its also very safe

[@mikecurtis1111]

Dude, your paddle is your friend when coming in through the surf. Don't ever come back in with your paddle secured to the side of your boat. If you get caught by a wave like that, you will get sideways just like that. It's unavoidable. What is avoidable is flipping as a result and losing your gear. Pro tip, when you get sideways, you just stuff your paddle into the wave and lean into it. The paddle will act just like an outrigger and allow you to brace yourself enough to prevent the roll. Those were tiny tiny waves. I promise you that if you practice what I told you, you'll never be scared of coming back in with the waves like that again. There are plenty of videos showing the technique I'm talking about. Good luck.

[@dannykrise9066]

[@unclebusterbrown]

You had nothing strapped down? How long have you been going off the beach? No rod leash and your tackle box wasn't stowed? If this is typical of what y'all do then you may want to take a class or two. You just showed "what not to do"

[@FadedFlight]

Thinking the same thing, leashing gear is like kayak fishing 101.

[@unclebusterbrown]

Cody Tolle I don't think he is much of a rookie. Just doesn't understand what he did wrong. You NEVER EVER go sideways into a wave. Start paddling or peddling before the wave gets to you. Hell, he didn't even try. If he learns from this, great, if not, then he needs to stay on the beach.

[@blounttruth3757]

Or if the yak is able to go in reverse, point the nose into the waves and peddle to shore backwards will keep the yak stable even if a crasher gets you, it will more than likely jet you to shore as opposed to rolling the yak.

[@unclebusterbrown]

Mary Ann Simpson if you get tangled in a rod leash, then its way too long. Mine are there to secure them in rough seas. Never intended to be used while fishing. Should be long enough to take the rod out of the rod holder and remove the leash. Not to supposed to be long enough to lay the rod across your lap with attached. Paddle leash should float and be thick enough to not get twisted and be able to tangle you if tossed. This is why I stay away from home made safety gear.

[@unclebusterbrown]

Mary Ann Simpson put a small eye bolt in the bottom of your rod and attach a float on a short line to that. Long enough you can still put it in the rod holder but not so long you will have line in your lap while fishing.

Nathan Hale the weight doesn’t change...that’s not at all what he meant by saying that...think. Why wear something that will impede your ability to swim? Why not a dry suit? Lighter. Warmer. Floats. The name for them is wader. You wade in shallow water.

[@hakachukai]

A few basic things: #1: Ditch the water proof gear. Your IN the damned water. Just go with it and get wet! #2: When you paddle in, just paddle straight in and ride the waves and lean back. I've ridden 5ft breakers in my sit on top kyak! #3: Put a lid on that bucket! They only cost about $2. #4. You might consider installing a long cloth wrap on the sides of your kayak. Before you come in, lay all of your poles and gear down in the cloth, wrap it up and secure it to the kayak. That way if your boat flips over it doesn't become a yard sale in the middle of the Ocean. It'll all stay together as one piece.

Let alone if you have peddles and a paddle it is WAY easier to get in that spot the whole way to shore -depending on your conditions of course. Hope you have lost less gear since this video....

He probably would have been fine if he would've taken it head on, but I really don't think he's that dumb because he did it a few times, which leads me to believe with other factors that this was basically staged as many KZbin video's now are. One little note I would be careful with your tree hugging statement it's really not as accurate as the confidence you've placed in it. I'm not saying your wrong, you've just basically mashed two incompatible resolves together and called them something they are not. This bothers me to some level because I love nature, but human interaction with it is unatural, so it needs to be managed, or there basically wouldn't be nature extremists or non extremists because there would basically be nothing to be extreme about one way or the other cause it would be gone. See what I mean? Also sometimes, many of the times, I go fishing and release fish because I don't want to clean them and store them and think about it and cook them, I just want to go out to nature and practice my skills in the art, just to get the experience and keep up. I'm sure you can understand that?

Angel Cabada his fishfinder was malfunctioning, saying that it was 10 ft deep, even though it was actually 3 ft deep

[@tomjones4835]

He could’ve stepped out and walked that thing to shore. Lmao

Loved the whole video my friend good Job on the ridin the breakers but that last one tagged you lol . Nicely done

dam thats so sad dude, my cousins own a bait and tackel shop, id be happy to support you with a new set of poppers man

[@tp5401]

waders?! seems like a one way ticket to the bottom if they took on water and you couldn't get them off. life jacket enough to make that a good plan?

[@salomonalmaguer3]

Todd Personett thats what i was saying. in Texas lot of people drowned because of that

[@amsully3352]

Todd Personett that's right wade in waders & swim in wet or dry suit .guys have died close to shore in waders !

[@lovelymartyr]

Todd Personett false.

[@tp5401]

guess the verdict is out... some claim to have busted the myth that waders increase chances of drowning others say it kills. seems proper belting and type of wader mitigates the risk. some think drowning in waders may have been more a matter of panic than the waders causing a problem. if it were me... I would still pass! it was always a kayak fishing/duck hunting no no for me.

[@lovelymartyr]

Todd Personett It's a myth, think about it. the water inside the waders weighs the same as the water outside. So they don't "fill up and drag you under" . I think you're onto something with panic. throw in cold water ,high surf and there's the issue. In this case our intrepid yakker would be well-served to actually learn how to paddle. -

15:20 wow nice size catch, great stuff my man :)

[@minutesagoedited9761]

Hehe right on bro! all dampness aside...way better than a snowy cold day at home. Thanks for sharing your day!

[@diaspiano]

why the hell was this in my recommended? lol

[@MLATX512]

It would be nice if they made a secure well on those kayaks that you could put your stuff in in case you go over. Oh wait...

Waders and sideways to the surf. Candidate for the Darwin award.

[@jasonhope5942]

I cant stop watching this.

[@BornN2Grave1]

Catches a bunch of fish....complains. Neglects to secure his tackle....gets swamped...loses some/litters...complains.

[@G56AG]

I guess it never occurred to you that things should be secured to the boat so if you capsize they won't fall out? If there was a book on kayak fishing that would be on the first page.

[@miglouiselw]

Well that’s a number one rule in the normal ocean kayak so you have the things to save yourself but i don’t know about fishing kayaks. Don’t really like them🤷‍♀️😂

[@aweezywun]

"The darter, the swimmer, and the deep diver" sounds like him and his band of brothers.

[@thesajeguy6592]

bruh, you could of easily just gone straight in letting the waves carry you. too much messing around

[@robertbruce1234]

When I saw him just toss everything here and there, it was an uh-oh moment. You tether your pliers, don`t you? Tether everything. That was probably $100 worth of lures.

[@jeffreyrose4715]

Dammit dude.....I flipped a kayak in fresh water and lost my box of lures as well, really sucks.......upside your ok, be safe buddy.

[@suhwateezea.214]

Bro your fish handling skills around big trebles without pliers is quite impressive. Good video. I am looking at getting my own hobie one day

[@allengineedd3070]

Were you in Barnegat Light? Big red ship looks like the miss Barnegat Light

[@leoqiuyahoo]

basically this guy knows little or nothing about kayak surf landing technique, rookie mistake, the surf is fairly small, "I don't wana die" , in 5 inches water? that cracks me up 😂

[@adammilan6434]

Did you pay any attention to his sonar? It went from 6 feet to like 2 in a matter of seconds. He probably would have noticed if it wasn't for the wave on his ass. Not everyone can be perfect at ocean kayak fishing like yourself.

[@spencermarchant9098]

Adam Milan yeah but if you go out you have to be ready, for instance if he did fall in in 10 ft or somethings, he’d struggle cos he’s not wearing the right stuff, you have to have some idea on how to be safe to have fun

[@oracleloki12]

you can drown is 2 inches of water just letting you know

[@NozomuYume]

@@adammilan6434 It's not even that, it's the matter of littering a beach full of tackle with sharp hooks and stuff plus plastic that won't degrade, etc. =/ I mean losing stuff is part of fishing anyway but best not to litter when you don't have to. =(

[@jq7323]

@@NozomuYume Don't go in the ocean, because the oils on your skin will litter the ocean. I'm begging you please don't go in ever again.

[@jimingram3607]

I don't know if it's an issue but what about a kid or someone stepping on the lures and getting a hook in their foot? I can see it not being an issue now that it's cold but what about the next time this happens in the summer, all because you didn't want to secure your gear.

[@gethydrated3604]

Jim Ingram he wasn’t planning on losing them

[@r.b.4611]

And it will still be his fault when someone gets impaled.

[@sebastianarze1614]

I find myself coming back to these video and the comments every couple of months jajaj

[@mycoolbeernuts6870]

I didn't think you were going to make it! Chest High Waves Almost Ended YOU!

[@larrysowada9905]

next bucket you get make sure it has a top that either snaps or screws on and has enough room to put your lure box in, hate to see that happen to anyone, I lost a bunch of tackle that way 5 years ago ( rods, lures and so forth ), sorry

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks man that is a good call this has taught me to get some waterproof floating storage

[@kenm7899]

just a good lid for your bucket will work..i feel bad for you, losing just one lure hurts

[@freshANDhesh]

13:07 you almost tried to lip that blue.

[@MichaelLangell]

Lol this man just doesn’t pay attention to what’s going on around him XD. I get shivers up my spine every other time you unhook a fish. A fearless man unless it come to knee high water

[@yakzen4120]

I’m sorry, but thanks for an incredible fling laugh. Good lord... lol. Great vid man,, thanks for sharing... we can all learn something here!

[@charlesirby9222]

Your a dangerous fella to be around, snag your waders and shirt, loose all your shit...get soaked...funny as hell! Next time I bet you paddle like hell on a wave back and forget all the antics. You'll figure it out eventually.

[@shecat1964]

Wasted time. Thought this was going to be one of those shark vids..

[@HarryPotter-kd3bh]

@kingofallcrypto LOL same... saw that vid of the guy hitting a hammerhead shark with the paddle for many minutes. This guy is funnier, but less scary.

[@BluegillGreg]

I've got three dry boxes, and generally keep the two smaller in the larger, lashed to the boat. Even a standard tackle box or bag that's latched or zipped will keep your stuff with you when it's lashed to the boat.

[@marcuspetford1098]

Am I the only one imagining a swimmer coming out of the water covered in dazzling fish hooks?

[@lancecobb8608]

Also I tie all my stuff 2 my kayak with paracord so if I flip I don't lose it. If u do this make sure the paracord is very short or you could get tangled and drown if u flip

[@ryanenochs2273]

Come on man, those are barely visible waves just take a couple days and go out with no gear and learn how to ride those waves in. And use your damn paddle man

[@yakinwithbigfoot3832]

I come in backwards now. I lift my rudder, keep my drive in and feet on the peddles and put my bow towards the waves. Using my paddle i back paddle to the beach trying to stay as straight as possible and if a wave comes i give it a few kicks to give myself a little forward momentum through the wave and when i see my fish finder read 3’ or less i jump out. Works great and a lot less nerve racking. Sounds kind of crazy but when you do it you will find out its much better than having to constantly look over your shoulder and not knowing what’s coming behind you. I think there’s a couple videos about it on here. Tight lines Chris!

[@PenguinOutdoors]

That sucks!! We have all been there, more than once sadly lol. You know what though, I'll take the frustration of a roll or flip and the loss of some gear now and then over the constant headache that boats always seem to give me.

[@Raycefan]

“Ocean kayak fishing isn’t fun any more.” I’m thinking that’s because you’re at the Jersey Shore, Jeenyus.

[@charleyhill9867]

Jersey shore is just fine for it.

[@mtadams2009]

Not from Jersey but its actually pretty great.

[@lewandlo]

You need to fish barbless the way you are handling those fish. I`m half way through the video and all I can see next is you sinking a hook deep in your leg or hand. Let them tire out a bit before horsing them in . Keep it safe dude. Cheers.

[@RobertThomas-ro6bf]

You usually cant just float in between waves, the undertow will start to pull you back into the wave anyway. Ive got a hobie and take my fins out to keep from damaging them. Youve got to use your paddle to as you drift in to correct your kayak when it starts turning. You can use the paddle as a brake and steer yourself. as long as you stay straight your ok. if you start turning sideways your over big wave or small.

[@kevinquigley4337]

No shit on the last comment! Oh and when I landed on the sand I realized I was only in a foot of water and could have just walked it in. Harrowing indeed! “The sea was angry that day my friend....”

[@BlackWolf-ly4sq]

Every kayak, fisher men has these days at least once or twice you know when everything that could go wrong dose yes it happens to all of us, one way some way or another... 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🛶🛶🛶🛶🛶 Keep yakking no fear

[@ballisticfishing5188]

Peanut bunker is the best you should use it for bait

[@zandemen]

Wow, that sucks. I've landed in the surf a few times, the way I do it is to surf a wave in, when you get just before where they're breaking paddle back hard, get behind it and then paddle hard to keep up to it. When it breaks in front of you ride the wash up into the shallows.

[@zandemen]

Ayuh, don't know about the pedal boats, how much speed and acceleration you have, might not be feasible.
