Great video, just bought my first Kayak, Old Town PDL 106! For the PFD's remember they need to hold the USCG certification so be careful if you're buying some cheap Chinese one off of Amazon and you get stopped.

[@appalachianbushcraft3959]

Yea i thought i was keeping my kayak adventure simple. Just a paddle, kayak and a pole i said. Now i have a fully decked out bass fishing machine complete with a pedal controled trolling motor, side imaging, down scan, 2d sonar and mapping. Anchor wizard, deck lights, nav lights, spot lights. Thats not even including the copious amout of rods, reels, and lures i have aquired. Im sure im missing more stuff. Im not gloating about what i have and i feel very fortunate to have such a setup. This is just my warning to others, be careful because you can get sucked into the worm hole, lol. It took me a few years to build my setup and aquire what i have. Just dont think you NEED everything to get started right away. Start small and go slow you will aquire what you NEED in time.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

💯! Happened to me too!

[@pendragofan]

you deserve to have more subs I have learned more from your channel than any other, I just bought my first kayak last friday and im feeling way more confident with setup and needs heres to hoping it ships this week!!

[@BeardedDadFishing]

I appreciate you! Thanks for the kind words and I’m STOKED for your first kayak! Welcome to the club! 💪🏽

[@MrJaxnbeFishing]

Spread that knowledge💪🏾💯💯💯

[@BeardedDadFishing]

💯💯💯 Appreciate you bro!

[@Notorious_Nate]

I'm a kayak fishing veteran and this was a valuable collection of info. Well done bro-cephus! 👊

[@BeardedDadFishing]

I appreciate you man! 🙌🏽

[@sualK2456]

Very helpful, thank you very much. greetings from Costa Rica !

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Appreciate you brother! 🙏🏽

[@granvillej3316]

Brother did you see Chad Hoover's video two weeks ago called, " The Most Expensive Fishing Trip Ever!" Ouch that was an expensive trip that most people would not recover from for a long time. Great video I'm definitely supporting you during the Knucklehead competition maybe someday I can land on your team. Take care and God bless.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Thanks my guy! Would love to have you on the team! Gonna check out that video from Chad asap!

[@Oakley096]

Dang, ok ok. Ultimate kayak guide. I like it

[@BeardedDadFishing]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@ssei2001]

Man, you are so right my kayak is very heavy I'm 58 Years old and moving my Old Town 120 PLD around can be a beast at times, so I did pick up that Vevor cart after watching your comparison video this cart is a life and back saver. Plus, I saved a few dollars. Great video bro keep 'em coming. Tight lines.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Awesome! That thing is the bees knees! Appreciate you brother!

[@LittleJerrySeinfeld]

hand-held urinal comes in handy

[@CobyMiller-xc1rz]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS! Rod floats aren’t sexy, but thanks to your recommendation I use them and it saved me from losing 3 rods this month when my kayak flipped. (My wife would have lost her mind if $750 went to the bottom of the lake.) Also love how you stress wearing a PFD. It keeps you above water while you get your wits about you, or like you said, if you are compromised and can’t swim at your normal strength.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Awesome man! Glad you didn’t lose em either! Agreed, they aren’t sexy, but they work 🤷🏽‍♂️ Thanks for watching! 💪🏽

[@LittleJerrySeinfeld]

great info for us newbies

[@X9Adventures]

Great video!!!

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rvfishingyet]

Great compilation! Thanks for the channel and content!

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Thanks RV! I was hesitant at first, but seeing as these videos were spread out quite a bit, figured it may be helpful to some. Appreciate your support!

[@Sabbafishing]

Hey @Beardeddadfishing can you please give me and my buddy some advice we bought two 9ft vegabond tsomo top water kayaks we need a pros advice Will we be able to ACE the kayak fishing with these kayaks

[@granvillej3316]

Sir I watched a Greg Blanchard video of him fishing in the morning on one lake and then going to another lake to fish. At the dock station they did a thorough walkthrough checked into his hatch and notice just a little water and grind at the bottom and they would not allow him to launch his boat disappointed, but he understood he is such a high class of character and shows us everything. I mentioned this to have a dry pad in your boat also just for that kind of thing to happen. I didn’t remember if you already mention it already or not, so I mentioned it.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Great call! That would not be fun to have happen!

[@LittleJerrySeinfeld]

do you keep your battery in that box

[@4WDJeepDriver]

Should the pliers be at least strong enough to cut through a hook? Something to think about.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

I carry a pair of diagonal cutters as well, just in case. Good call!

[@waguni]

Hi sir thanks for the informative video. Where did you get your cam straps from? I have some but they seem cheap.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Amazon has some good options. Check this one out amzn.to/4bhkIU2

[@waguni]

@@BeardedDadFishing thank you sir

[@LetsFish204]

I paddled mine for 2 years, then modded it at year 3👌

[@BeardedDadFishing]

That’s patience!

[@LittleJerrySeinfeld]

did u do your own mods to boat? what kind of drill/bit did u use to drill holes in hull for mods to run wires

[@LittleJerrySeinfeld]

worry about cracking hull

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Thanks for watching my guy! And yes I did my own mods. For drilling, standard titanium drill bits work, step bits are perfect for larger holes.

[@michaelgunderson7415]

Can a pool noddle as a rod float? DIY style

[@BeardedDadFishing]

I don’t see why not! As long as it’s not too bulky 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@MrGimpy]

Decided to subscribe after watching some of your other videos. $450 rod! Geez! Do you have an OF or something? I can only afford $50 rod. Lol!

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Appreciate you watching brother! The whole set up is $450. $250 Impulse Rod and $200 Shimano SLX DC reel. I started out with a $0.98 clearance combo and had it for 2 full years! So ain’t no shame in that my guy!

[@LittleJerrySeinfeld]

the lithium is so much lighter

[@stevenm6301]

I know most people don't like them, but the visibility aspect is why I got a red kayak. I've had a few close calls on the water in my day and want to give the morons a chance to see me. Kayak color doesn't matter for fishing results either.

[@BeardedDadFishing]

100% agree. A bright kayak is the best bet. My next one will be LOUD!
