Hobie Pro Angler 14 Setup - Naples Florida

[@savagecub]

That umbrella is GENIUS ! Pure genius! I don’t know why more guys don’t have them - just sitting out there letting the sun cook their brains. A hat can only give you a little relief and they frequently blow off.

[@eddiet204]

Very nice set up. I have a Nitro ZV18 as my primary boat, but just bought a PA14 for the small lakes and reservoirs. I’m looking forward to setting it up!

[@andytommeo]

Great video. Thank you for introducing in details of your fishing kayak. I love how neat you organize your gear and your invention of the extra holder storage for common usage tackles during the fishing day. I already subscribed. Please post video of how you make the battery. It's awesome. Thanks. Happy Fishing.

[@MARKLINMAN1]

AWESOME set up man, just subbed! I just got back into fishing and i am thinking of getting a Hobie PA 14 myself.

[@AJay-xd4zc]

Thanks Brian. Your subdivision looks like CL where I live. Not there this winter yet (wife going thru chemo)but we plan on being there early April. I kayak fish all over the place. We are so lucky to have the number of fishing spots that we do. I do Estero Bay alot.but I also go south, Clam Pass, rookery Bay etc.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

+Angelo Schepisi wishing you the and your wife the best. And hoping for a speedy recovery for her. Yes we are truly blessed. We have so many fishing spots in this area that are amazing.When you guys get down here let's do some fishing!!!

[@beaglebasil]

I live in Estero and hadn’t seen a new video from you in awhile. If you stopped using that pro angler I’d definitely be interested in buying it from you. I’m in Naples every week.

[@MultiRadioflyer]

Great job on outfitting. I just order the same Pro Angler. Start outfitting soon so your video is very helpful. Moving from Seattle to Pine Island next year. Very interested in hearing more about your two battery packs. Thanks very much!

[@seriousfishingtv955]

you will love the PA14. I am glad my video could help. nice some FL fishing in your future!!! I have made a video on my batteries and will be editing soon for upload on this topic. thanks for watching!!!

[@bassmoore2083]

nice video man. gave you a sub. nice content. very clean set up as well. I recently sold a 2014 PA and just picked up a 2017 Pa12. Excited to see your future videos

[@seriousfishingtv955]

+Zach Moore Thanks for the sub. Thanks for the compliments. I love my PA 14. I will have some videos coming soon. Again thanks for watching.

[@ericland512]

Excellent goodies ! Ya SOLD me on the Versa Brella , ordered 2 as soon as ur vid was over ! Your battery boxes are awesome ! I installed gel batteries on our 2 hpa's ... a little on the heavy side but the charge lasts days, even with the lowrance / power poll / nav. lights . Thank you for the enlightening vids and happy 4th /fishing

[@seriousfishingtv955]

thank you. thanks for watching.

[@CrazyGIJoe81]

Appreciate the awesome video! You gave me a few ideas that I'll be using. Keep up the good work!

[@seriousfishingtv955]

Thanks for watching!!! glad you enjoyed it. if you have and questions please let me know.

[@johnmathieu9050]

Thanks for the video. Best secure that micro battery pack on the power pole. They have been falling off in rough chop!

[@seriousfishingtv955]

+John Mathieu Thanks for watching! Thanks for the info on the battery pack for the Power pole I have not heard from anybody yet but I don't want it to happen to me. So thank you. Check out my other videos. And I have a lot more to come in then near future.

[@almostsk8terjamie]

first time I have ever herd of a fisherman that doesn't eat fish. Nice looking rig you have there!!!!! Good video!!!!

[@seriousfishingtv955]

I know everyone laughs at me that I fish almost everyday and don't eat fish. thanks for the complements on the video and Hobie I love that kayak.

[@flhtprider]

Serious Fishing TV I don't eat very many fish either. I'd rather catch them than eat them. I prefer catch and release but my family wants some fish. I never keep my quota so there are always more fish to catch.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

yes i would rather catch them than eat them also!!!

[@flhtprider]

I've been trying to decide on what kayak to buy. I've narrowed it down to the outback or or PA 14. I will be using it for inshore fishing in Louisiana. I have a bad back so mirage drive would fit me best. Thanks so much for the video.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

+Ron C. Thanks for watching. Either kayak you choose you will enjoy. The Mirage Drive makes fishing wonderful on a kayak. Again thanks for watching.

[@titanbrew8493]

Thanks for the tips, maybe I'll see you out there, I'm from Naples too, I fish from Marco to Pine Island/Sanibel. Take care.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

Thanks for watching!!! i mainly fish Marco as i lived there for 18 yrs.and love fishing that area. i also have my boat down on Marco. i do a lot of freshwater also. you fish often? i live on lakes so i fish almost daily.

[@smokster0604]

Can't waiting for a cool fishing video......I hope soon great kayak......

[@seriousfishingtv955]

Thanks I love this kayak! Fishing videos are definitely coming soon...Weather has been horribly windy lately but I'm getting out as soon as I can. Thanks for the support!

[@tyclark8162]

I guess I could have read comments earlier about tank? Oops, sorry about that. Wish I had winter fishing here without ice? Anyhow,,, Thanks again, keep em coming.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

thank you very much!!!

[@turi-ffic]

great intro. got my interest. hope to see some vids soon.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it. working on another, hope to be out this weekend. check out my other vids if you get a chance and please give me a thumbs up if you like them. thanks again and tight lines!!!

[@enki1003]

Great video! I am starting in kayak fishing ( orlando florida) useful info love the battery pack just subscribed hoping to learn from you.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

Glad you enjoyed the video. welcome to kayak fishing you should have a blast. thanks for the sub. have a wonderful day.

[@rickoswald6732]

Great videos, thanks for posting them

[@seriousfishingtv955]

+rick oswald Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

+manny Thanks Manny. It is a very stable kayak so I can just spin around in the seat and reach back to the live well. I also have a dip net which makes it easy to reach down into the live well. Sorry about the delay but I cannot respond back to your comment. I was trying to figure out how to do it and it would not let me, so I just posted a separate comment.

[@manny4491]

Thanks for the reply! I have a bad back so the distance could have been an issue. I think the design will work for me fine.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

your very welcome. not sure if you saw the video I did on the live well? it might help you out a little more on the design and position. please let me know if there is any other videos you would like to see. thank you.

[@mikeduda1505]

I'm new to this and really like the battery pack idea. I'm hoping to buy a 2018 after the holidays. What kind of an investment are we talking for your setup?

[@tyclark8162]

Hey Manny, love your videos n happy I ran onto them. I am a transplant to northern Michigan in the woods now. Wanted to ask if you could give details on the live well as I had the same idea n even have the same tank from pet smart. What pickup pump you use n such n do you just drain thru a port hole? I had 2 Hobie tanks n one is at the bottom of a lake now.lol. Long story n was a really bad wind day. MGosh did I literally hate that damn tank, it never worked either of them. Floating net woks good for now. But spring is coming,,, Now I have a Torqeedo 403 on aft n has saved us both kayakers in our 60s. Ya I know, live till ya die I say. I have done some rigging with single n double pulley lines if you or someone out there would like ideas? Really like those pole holders n made fun of wife's ugly one as yours. Sunshade is good stuff n that anchor gizmo on the rear. Last question for now, we are a bit shaky standing up, do you think a person could tip or turtle a PA14? If so, what's the best way to board from water in windy conditions? Long post sorry,,,, Thanks Ty Clark

[@seriousfishingtv955]

thanks for watching I believe you said that most questions were answered about the live well. about tipping, I have never felt as if I would tip over but if it would happen I would come in from the back. please let me know if I missed any questions. again thanks for watching.

[@tyclark8162]

Hey again Manny, too bad you live so far off. My brother lives down Daytona not sure right off. I will Never fly again, I stood up for this elderly lady traveling by herself n TSA pulled her for random search which is litterly embarrassing to most ladies. But, I got the shift narcissistic fat boy fired. Anyhow, back to you after a hard year. Just now getting to do your live well. I'll have to watch it again cuz I forgot some. I am getting one of those sunshades too. I rigged up a Torqeedo 403 Ultralite aft an absolutely love it. Well worth the costs n rigging. If you ever do one, get a hold of me. I have never seen anyone using my idea yet. That Torqeedo saved our day 4x times, I can tandem mas n mine PAs together after a hot day n enjoy taking a break from pedal power, an it does quite well. Us old folks need all we can get, lol. I actually know a couple Marshals down by you. I was USSS n they sure put on some awesome three gun actions, I miss those times allot. Retirement isn't all that fun, if I could go fishing more it be great. Do you use anything on your hull to keep it slick an actually lasts for the season? You talked me into those pole holders, they do look big but I'll try em n see. That BoonDox n TBone are coming soon I hope. Been working on my bobcat n it's time to go fishing,,, 🤑. Thanks for the tips n rigging ideas as you have Manny. Ma hurt her knee last year, an I didn't fish one time cuz I knew it would hurt her feelings some. I really enjoy your videos, so don't ever stop. Ty

[@jamesstrange9297]

I'd like some info on ure battery packs& ure diy live well. I just got my first kayak, a hobie pa 14. Retirement toy. I'm ready to start having a blast fishing out of it. I really enjoyed ure video👍🏻

[@seriousfishingtv955]

[@markb16a]

How did you make those battery boxes? Where did you get the tackle web storage and the waterproof switch? Also how much is that harbor freight trailer? Is it worth the money and issues with the trailer? Also where did you get that umbrella and how did you mount it to your chair? Thanks for the video looks good!

[@seriousfishingtv955]

How did you make those battery boxes? I have made a video and will be editing soon for upload on this topic. Where did you get the tackle web storage and the waterproof switch? Tackle webs Austin kayak as they have 15% off on a regular basis.

Thank for watching!!!

[@Will_Russell]

Can you give an overview of your electrical system, i.e. battery, wiring, etc? Also have you ever used solar chargers on a kayak?

[@seriousfishingtv955]

I did this video on my batteries, let me know if this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZbNgKyVj9eAaZaVlso with the batteries that I have they pretty much last all day so I never have had a need for a solar charger. thanks for watching!!!

[@manny4491]

Great Yak! , Is the Bait Tank hard to reach?

[@rj11wacat]

I know it would probably be a lot of work, but do you think you could give some tips and techniques for setting up your angler, because I think you have an awesome set up but I am pretty new to this and trying to do my homework and about to buy a pro angler. Just a thought. Thanks for this video though.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

great suggestion. I will do more videos soon. I am so busy as work and broke my camera. thanks for watching.

[@code1outdoors311]

Your live well. How do you get it started without a primer bulb or check valve? I thought that pump had to be submerged to pump water.

[@Oo7Hola]

I am in love with your kayak. I want one soooooooooo bad. If you didn’t mind me asking. How much have you invested in it? Or what is the total coat ?

[@seriousfishingtv955]

Thank you very much. I’m about six grand in. Totally worth it though. I spend more time on it than I do on my boat.

[@Oo7Hola]

Make some videos while on water. All your videos so far are top notch.

[@philborchelt5396]

Great setup! I noticed that the PVC pipes on your trailer are spaced too far apart. The pipes should be 10" on center so the boat fits down onto them. Cheers!

[@seriousfishingtv955]

+Phil Borchelt Thanks I love it. So much fun.

[@873grip]

If you don't mind me asking where did you find that umbrella that clamps on the seat. Been looking for one. Thanks.

I use the same one on my PA14, love that little 'brella. I like being able to rotate it outta my way or collapse it behind me if the wind picks up.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

yes it is very versatile.

Is this the regular or XL versabrella?

just unwrapped a 2017 camo pa14 and am going to be spending a month or two in the Boca Grande area. I would love to hook up with you and see if we can catch some fish. will be there from about Dec 10- Feb 2017.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

sounds great i will have to see if i can free up as boca is a ways up from me. hit me up when your in town.

[@jasonbutt5435]

I would like to see how the battery packs and live well were made and how the livewell works on the pa14. Also parts needed and the name of the umbrella. Thank you

[@seriousfishingtv955]

I have posted a video of the live well. I believe I will be doing my next video on the batteries. Please let me know if the Live well video has enough explanation for you. And the umbrella is a sport-brill versa-brella they are in like $20 on Amazon and they have free shipping if you have prime. Thank you very much for your interest and please let me know if there is anything else you would like to see.

Nice setup.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

thank you. thanks for watching.

[@cellojk]

Hello! could you please let me know about the umbrella? what's the brand and where to buy it

[@scottgrzymkowski]

How about water getting into the bow insert, or in the hull? I recently purchased a new 2016 Hobie PA 14. and water is coming in by the gallons! Only after a few hours of fishing. From waves over the bow.

[@seriousfishingtv955]

+S Grzymkowski I have yet to have any water coming into the kayak at all. I mainly go back water. If I go offshore I take my boat which is almost never.

[@waltercabral871]

Great job, Thanks for the video.

Is it possible to install and connect a solar panel at rear of Kayak for all your batteries on your kayak?

[@seriousfishingtv955]

[@pl833]

hello my question is....i have a dock on port royal back water naples bay and all i catch are snapper and catfish with live shrimp. i want more variety any tips will be appreciated...thank u

[@seriousfishingtv955]

+d sloan Are you fishing from land?

[@pl833]

Serious Fishing TV yeah off the dock

[@seriousfishingtv955]

+d sloan Most docks do not hold a lot of fish unless there is really good water flow. I hate to tell you if you don't have some current you mostly will catch sheepshead snapper catfish and an occasional jack. The majority of the time you need current to get your snook and reds. Yes sometimes you will get a random snook with no flow. But you should make sure you are fishing the dock or other structures not in the wide open. Hope this helps some.

Thanks for the video. I live in your area, where did you buy your boat? Do you store it in your garage?

[@seriousfishingtv955]

+Kitten Slapper Glad you liked the video. I bought it at Naples outfitters. I live in a gated community and the HOA does not allow trailers with watercraft on property so It is stored but near water.
