I for real thought he was gonna flop out the yak 😆

[@bryanperry4557]

Great Vid...!!! I kayak fish as well...I'm pulling a Hobie PA 14 on a trailer, where did you launch?

[@saltwatersessions]

Thanks for watching man! 🤙 The area where I launched doesn’t have direct water access for a trailer. The boat ramp or one of the open areas off the main entrance would be your best bet.

Nothing like red fish and pomp

[@saltwatersessions]

Love pomp. I needs a pomp!

Hey, looks like you are using a freshwater Minn Kotta. I plan to do the same. How does it hold up to salt?

[@saltwatersessions]

The Minn Kota lasted about 15 trips in the saltwater before it stopped working. I’ve since switched to a Newport Vessels 55lb thrust “kayak series” motor and have been very happy with it, plus the warranty doesn’t void in the saltwater.

@@saltwatersessions Thanks for the quick reply. I found mixed info all over the net. Most people used the Enduras for years in salt before they started corroding. I opened mine and used tacky grease on all seals, and gave it 3 coats of spray enamel paint, Plus I added a zinc anode to the skeg. Hope I'll get lucky. If not, my all too understanding wife will have to agree to a Newport :D

@@AndiDan The Minn Kota still looked great in the end, the only bit of rust was on the metal screws that clamp to the transom. I did freshwater rinses after every trip and would re-grease the sheer pin after every other trip. I think the issue with mine was drifting seaweed getting into the prop which in turn burnt out the motor. I had to lift it out of the water several times that day because it kept bogging down. I still think it was worth every penny of the $100 I paid for it.

​@@saltwatersessions Thanks for the details. I hope to be able to clean the prop faster, since I replaced it with an APC prop, according to a youtube video linked here. It's $3 and it massively increased my speed, plus it's very easy to clean. Maybe it fits your Newport. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nom7qYmhiMxmoKc

Could you wade out here?

[@saltwatersessions]

Not so much in this specific area, but there’s tons of awesome wading areas throughout the park.
