First Time Fishing in a Solo SKiff! (Galveston Marsh Fishing) Day 1

[@jasonjacobs2095]

It’s cool seeing your dog watching yourself out!

[@1153mf]

Hey if that motor is a 10 hp, you can replace the carb with one for a 15 hp from Amazon for like $30! That’s the only difference between the 10 and 15, the carb port on the 15 is bored out slightly more.

[@1153mf]

I have a small Jon boat I treat like I would a kayak or solo skiff, and never thought of using pvc pipe as a runner for the trailer. That’s a fantastic idea and I might have to steal it from you and redo my trailer this weekend!!

[@jasonjacobs2095]

I always had a thing for solo skiff like yours and I was just in Galveston ( Jamaica Beach) last week and told myself solo skiff is perfect for shredding down the waterways and fishing.

[@MDLRFishing]

I couldn’t agree more, fresh is always better! Great job out there!

[@austntexan]

Looks cool but they didn’t leave any room for my Yeti in the middle. So bizarre to consume all that space with that ginormous hatch/seat. That front bow cover should be smaller too, you need all that space, esp on a small craft. It’s a little on the heavy side too, @ 150 lbs. You can build a micro-skiff in a couple weekends that will come in at less than 90 lbs. However, for the price, if you’re not a builder, this is pretty good. The BOTE Rover is insanely priced compared to this one. Cool review man, she really scoots with that little Johson. Imagine if that whole rig was 65 lbs lighter though! This isn’t a troll post. . . I’m just being practical in my observations. Cannot wait for summer and to get down to PortA and SPI. Winter is such a drag.

[@tiszaihorgaszat]

I watch the videos, I really like them ... the channel is international, there is already a Hungarian viewer ... thank you very much, this is new to me.

[@KagenFishing]

I’m glad to hear you enjoy the content! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

[@dgalvan529]

Very entertaining video bro! That solo skiff looks awesome!

[@KagenFishing]

DRock Fishing I’m glad you enjoy the content. The solos skiff is one fun boat to fish off of

[@dgalvan529]

Kagen Fishing I can tell! Keep up the good work bro and stay safe during this pandemic.

[@000scubasteve]

The best way to describe it is it is rotomolded which means it is constructed exactly like a kayak which means hot liquid plastic is injected into a mold and that's how a solo skiff Hull is made

[@000scubasteve]

When solo skiff first started, they actually made a 17- foot hull that was made out of fiberglass

[@djgruv]

I try not to like this boat but I keep coming back too it. Looks like so much fun

[@KagenFishing]

Why are yo trying not to like it? every time I take it out it really does put a smile on my face when I twist the throttle and get on plane.

[@TheAlarry24]

Cool video,looks fun.

[@MrRedtide001]

Nice Solo Skiff video. Many of the Solo Skiff videos I have watched were either all music or no audio at all! It was great to see a video where you talked about actually using the Solo Skiff, stability, and fish ability. Great video!

[@KagenFishing]

MrRedtide001 thank you very much! Hopefully by making these videos it will help people be more informed on the solo before making a purchase.

[@sawtoothscream1521]

Looks like a better option then dropping a bunch on a kayak and trolling motor. Like my kayak but this looks like it would be much better for lakes.

[@jif.6821]

Love them old 2=stroke twin cylinder Johnsons. Hang on to that beauty, she really pushes that Solo around at a good clip. Which I still had my old 4 hp Johnson.

[@lesstalkmorefishing1000]

That's the only motor boat I'd have. If i could afford the boat... Or the motor LOL. Nice one dude !

[@nmolinaro62]

Nice vid. New subscriber. Solo skiff . . . hmmmm. Been a kayak fisherman on the ocean for 10+ years now. Have had an attitude about motorized craft all this time, but . . . uh, this looks really good. Hmmmmmm . . . I'm thinkin' . . . hmmmm. Price points are higher by the time I get an outboord and other rigging, but . . . uh, hmmmm . . . gotta think about this. Thanks for the vid.

[@nathanhighvoltage5259]

Hell yeah buddy. Been thinking of getting one

[@timoty-pb3rs]

They are awesome boats man you gotta try it out.

[@KagenFishing]

Yah it’s way more stable than I would imagine. Putting a motor on it made it even more stable. I just have to get used to not having a pedal drive to move around

[@GettinSalty]

Great video, nice fish and awesome boat

[@otschannel9859]

nice bro ..compax n eazy to handle

[@mattguernsey835]

Ayee we need to hang out this summer and go fishing!! I’m in League city

[@fvfgx]

Hay I'm from texas I have a Chrysler 6.6hp from 1968 I got it from a garage sale just have a bill of sale I have to fill out 6 peaces of paperwork and wate 6 month to get a bonded tital. I entered the motor info on the tx wildlife and came up with no info guess it good for me Hopefully I can get it registered and put it on my solo flex boat lol skiff lol

[@davidpileggi7741]

Hey buddy, where exactly did you launch from? Thanks man.

[@sharonbottino583]

Hi there! What is the link to the sea deck you spoke about in this video

[@brycebrazzel6298]

Great video!! I see the causeway but can’t exactly tell where ur at? Is that swan lake??

[@toms2014]

NICE !!!

[@joerodriguez5013]

Where’s that boat launch at? I want to take my kayak there

[@austntexan]

Are you in CC, Joe?

[@gagewest515]

what kind of trailer are you using?

[@gabesoutdooradventures6377]

nice fishing

[@tracerbuerger6118]

What do you use to anchor

[@WeeWoo93]

hey so i'm considering one and had a few questions maybe you could answer. i fish near mustang island a lot and want to go through the surf and possibly go out to the oil rigs on calm days, curious if you think it can handle it? I also am built like you physically and wanna know how difficult it is to lift for loading and unloading, any insight would be great! tight lines!

[@KagenFishing]

TarponTango loading onto the trailer I have is a breeze, even a beach launch is just as easy. A truck would be a little more difficult due to increase of degree of lift but I believe would be doable with a bed extender. My most recent video will give you a good idea of what it can handle. If you look on the channel I surf launch and go out to pleasure pier. It had 2.5ft swells peak and break over the nose and they just wash straight out the back.

[@WeeWoo93]

@@KagenFishing ok, ya i'm really wanting to but I have to sell my motorcycle to get the money for it but i'm a huge fisherman, so just nervous about biting the bullet and switching to a new toy. Thanks for the quick response! i'll check out the other videos as well

[@KagenFishing]

TarponTango I fished out of a hobie for a good while and when I got on the solo I knew that I was making the change. It is one fishing machine.

[@overlandhunter1181]

Nice. Got to buy me a solo.

[@elitegamer1938]

Do a video on all the lures and bait you use

[@KagenFishing]

Elite Gamer I plan to do a video where I go over my go to rigs and lures.

[@elitegamer1938]

Kagen Fishing good

[@ln3b5g]

How are you loading it back on the trailer? Unloading mine is easy but loading it is kicking my booty.

[@KagenFishing]

M_SAGUD I just back down to the ramp and pull it on. My buddy has a little winch on his trailer and looks like makes it way easier.

[@ln3b5g]

Kagen Fishing yeah I was entertaining the idea of a winch. Loading it back on the trailer has been kicking my butt.

[@wippdriver1]

Where are Solo Skiff made?

[@wesleyhackney]

That thing is pretty cool. 30 miles our channel is just beginning to use one of these on his channel you should check it out it might be better alternative to a kayak

[@KagenFishing]

Wesley Hackney I bought one a couple moths back before 30 miles out even test drove one. They are awesome skiffs and wouldn’t trade mine for anything!

[@KagenFishing]

Wesley Hackney check out my other videos where I rig mine up and take it out

[@lowelowe9043]

I seen you in that same cut about a week ago

[@molexmejia8449]

Is this fiberglass or foam

[@KagenFishing]

Neither. It’s rotomolded plastic like yeti coolers

[@molexmejia8449]

@@KagenFishing thanks

[@johnfak4034]

what do you think now ....... 2+ years on ....

[@KagenFishing]

I still love the solo skiff and don’t see myself ever getting rid of it. It gets as shallow as a kayak and paddles/poles with ease but I have the motor to spot hop and get places quicker than a yak. Best of both worlds.

[@johnfak4034]

@@KagenFishing awesome - think im going to go that route ..... want to find a good dolly setup as well as trailer so can do local beach access as well as launch

[@GulfSoftwash]

So does that bow box hold ice pretty well?

[@KagenFishing]

It does hold ice well an 8lb bag will last all day in it

[@garywood8449]

Will a motor with a 15 “ shaft work on the Solo Skiff?

[@stevenw76]

Yes, thats the only lenght you can use

[@pandag7482]

You need a pair of fish grips lol

[@timoty-pb3rs]

Hey man loved the video I'm going to have to say though you need to try going for some bull reds at night. It's one of the craziest things I done in a solo skiff and you need to try it.

[@KagenFishing]

timoty27 27 haha sounds like a good time. I’ve caught good size slot reds on the hobie at night but a bull red at night is another story. I’m really excited to get out on some fat trout at night under lights.

[@floridafishermanpace798]

what baitcaster rod was that?

[@KagenFishing]

Florida Fisherman Pace Waterloo phantom

[@TexasLeadSlingers]

I just added panoptics on my solo

[@KagenFishing]

Crazy fishing nutt Fishing king is that a super high definition side scan or is it a full 3d? Also does that have a huge transducer?

[@TexasLeadSlingers]

Look up garmin panoptics cost me 3500$ it’s sick!

[@Justin-dg9tx]

What kinda fuel range are you getting with the external tank

[@KagenFishing]

Justin Pool more than I could have imagine. Filled up when I got the skiff and I still have 3/4 of a tank left. It’s crazy efficient.

[@Justin-dg9tx]

Kagen Fishing very awesome I’m looking into getting one soon

[@snikwad003]

Wonder how it would do with a thai style longtail

[@kelseymorris8771]

Need to know where you got that stake out pole???

[@KagenFishing]

Kelsey Morris A real good friend of mine made it for me. He just used fiberglass rod and a PVC T as the top and stuck it through a float. Cheap and very effective!

[@kelseymorris8771]

@@KagenFishing do you know where he got the fiberglass???

[@KagenFishing]

Online? Just an 8ft section

[@Oldsport216]

Wow, no catch and cook on them fish

[@KagenFishing]

Chris Morales haha I would have but I am doing a 3 day fishing review on the solo skiff so all time and editing for the next videos is based on solo skiff.

[@Oldsport216]

Haha thanks for the response I was just giving you a hard time. The skiff is looking like alot of fun! We'll be waiting for the next vid

[@The4WBoys]

Enjoyed the video. Wear sunscreen, you're lookin red. Haha. To all those asking where this is... try google maps.

[@ifishforfoodnottrophys7483]

What happened too your old Johnson motor

[@KagenFishing]

Paulino Bermudez I sold it to my buddy that bought a solo skiff.

[@ottocornett1151]

Those rovers are wayyyy too expensive

[@KagenFishing]

Otto Cornett I agree. You could get 2 solo skiffs for the price of 1 rover

[@jessestanfield-brokencurlo1448]

Awesome man! Congrats on the new boat!! Nucanoe has a super long paddle i use it on my frontier 12 the boat is 42" wide and that longer paddle is a dream to use. Liked subscribed and rang the bell! check us out when you get time!
