What kayak is it that?

[@mariozepeda8324]

Coming from a bigger guy who just purchased his first kayak, thank you my friend! Great video and tips.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you. Glad it could have and thanks for watching.

[@dandtintennessee7675]

I did too.

[@domincansammy123]

I second that!! I just bought a kayak and im 270lb my Biggest concern is stability!!

[@jayhollinger4147]

Something so simple, so great... Chad, at 63 yrs old anything that make it easy to get in and out.... Thanks....

[@ChadHooverFishing]

You are welcome. Glad you liked it.

[@ROGUEBLU]

omg the best explanation of how to shift your weight from side to side to anchor your boat. thank you!!!

[@jamescobb2887]

I'm 66 yoa and have had numerous surgeries but that does not stop me from fishing. Your Tutorial's have helped me immensely with my kayak fishing. Thank you.

[@craigstutts7560]

I have seen a bunch of new kayak anglers do just what you told them not to do. GOOD INFORMATION.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

That’s why I’m doing the videos brother. Thanks for watching. Share this to help spread the word.

[@GeorgiaKayakAngler]

I’m an amputee missing my left leg and thinking about purchasing a kayak. Your videos really help me. Thank you

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks brother, glad I can help.

[@FishinwithGRAMPS]

Chad, this is a great tip!! I'm a bigger guy and this is something I definitely need to start doing! Thank you!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Yessir! 👊🏻

[@OldLadyAngler]

Good demonstration Chad. I usually turn sideways too. Much easier.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Yes ma’am. Loving the videos lately! I finally had a chance to get caught up on some the other day when I got home

[@ronnstone7023]

Great video for a beginner kayaker! Thank you.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you and thanks for watching

[@clintonemerson3346]

Thank you for this video. I took my kayak out for the second time yesterday and this technique worked so much better than anything else I tried.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks Clinton. I’m glad it helped.

[@thomasfeuerstein3340]

Thank you from a beginner. This is a good compliment to your previous video on this topic. More videos on the basics are appreciated.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you, I have a ton more of them coming.

[@volcharger]

You’re right Chad, it sounds so simple but far too often we want to do the keel coming in first. Awesome tip, thanks brother

[@klh102240]

Great info, even for a little itty-bitty guy. At 83 yrs old it'll do me well. You the man! 👍🏽🇺🇸

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks Kenneth. Glad I could help

You showed this a while back, now I use it all the time! Thanks Chad, keep it up!

As a newcomer to kayak fishing,Chad,you are a wealth of knowlege

[@jfuriathemostwanted5414]

Great vídeo something that sounds simple but yet once u in that situation is harder than we think u made it make sense

[@shari_lynn7454]

Thanks for these tips! As a far from small woman this should help me getting in and out of my new angler kayak!

[@conductor4Christ]

I really appreciate these kinds of videos. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks, glad you liked it

[@edbrown3047]

You explain things perfectly. I have a kayak and am nervous on launch and return. This video helps me tremendously. Thank you

[@150F2011]

Thanks Chad, I have recently purchased a Hobie Outback, I have started fishing with my son,He has been kayak fishing for several years,He is a great mentor. This was a great tip for a beginner. Thanks for the time spent shooting and editing these for videos!

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

Good sound advise from the man who knows . Thanks Chad BTW, Loving all these quick tip videos .

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you sir!! Y’all keep watching them and I will keep making them. 👊🏻

[@camorrisiii]

I’m glad to see that I launch and land the proper way. I used to make the mistake of launching bow in first and landing bow first. Those concrete ramps are like cheese graters on a keel. Fortunately I learned after my first time. I learned a lot from KZbin. Great video, thanks for the demo. Have fun out there and be safe.

[@JasonShumate]

This is definitely where I see most people fall in. It’s the launching and exiting of the boat literally sometimes. It’s so funny to watch people try to do it from the dock as well I always tell them that’s not how you want to get in your kayak. Do you want to do this at the boat ramp or the shoreline

[@glennsowacke9752]

Thanks Chad! Tight lines!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

👊🏻

[@gafisherman2451]

All these years I have been struggling to get on and out of a kayak just like you said. I will definitely do it your way next time. Thanks for you short video lessons.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks, glad I could help.

[@dancelucy6942]

Awesome technique! We'll look like pros at the ramp now!!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Ha! Yessir

[@alauram.6416]

I am extremely lucky to live in a place where the state installs actual kayak launches and docks so the only time I have to mess around with launching is when I pull up on remote beaches and such. So glad I found this video for those few times though!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

That’s awesome! What place is that?

[@alauram.6416]

@@ChadHooverFishing Idaho! Just about every dock anywhere in southern and east Idaho has kayak docks and launches. They are well maintained as well!

[@freeagentangler5159]

Learn something new all the time!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

That’s what our goal should be. That’s mine every day.

Recently got into kayak/fishing, have been a fisherman all my life. Was looking for paddling tips and came upon your channel. Then I just got a notification from Flukemasters channel and there you were explaining paddles. :) Will be watching more of your videos in the future, Thanks for the Great content and Tips. Fish On!

[@toddsmith3002]

Great Video and Luv that Wrap on your boat.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you, that’s made by @brdjet

[@HotLeadretired]

Great video. I just bought my first-ever kayak. I got a fishing kayak about a month and I've been rigging it for fishing. It should be water-ready sometime in April. Your method seems to be the best I've seen. Thanks.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you Hot Lead

[@samuelstrickland3678]

Chad,I thank you so much.I am new to kayaking and this is by far the easiest way for my overwieght butt to lauch and land my kayak.You are the man!

[@bottomlinebassin2001]

Good stuff brother my first launch was a comedy of errors, along with the second and third 😅

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Ha!! That’s what I’m trying to help with... LOL

I’ve watched your channel for over two years now. You helped me get started and I am thoroughly enjoying kayak fishing. Started in a feel free big fish, now in a Hobie PA. Since watching this channel, I’ve grown a lot in kayak fishing. Thanks for all the tips and advice!!!

Hey Chad. Another great tip. Even though I don’t fish, you have great common sense tips for recreational kayakers. ❤

[@jude.v25]

Thank you!

[@adammartin336]

Chad… thank you for making this video. I just bought a Jackson kayak and I am wanting to get into fishing but I honestly was very nervous about launching and recovering it with some practice and these tips I think it’ll be pretty darn smooth.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Glad I could help! Check out my videos on launching the kayak too, they may help a little there as well

[@tonyallen1953]

Great bit of info thanks Chad.

[@tizmo57]

That makes good sense! And I never would've thought of it. Thank you sir

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you sir!

[@mikefurness1598]

Great tip on entering and exiting the kayak Chad! Fortunately I was taught that quite a few years ago by someone I still fish with on a regular basis. It works and works well and saves wear and tear or at least some wear and tear on keel of my kayak!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

That’s awesome

[@leoronan3494]

Very informative will practice.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks and please do

[@ronaldraux6909]

Great tip! Like you said "it sounds simple" and should be. Makes a lot of sense to me and definitely will save the kayak. The hard part will be breaking old habits of doing it the other way.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Once you do it a bit, it will feel wrong to do it the other way.

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

Good info, Chad! This is pretty much akin to the proper canoe enter/exit methods except you have funnels you can brace the paddle across too. Broadside is definitely best!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Yessir

[@hunterhill1155]

Holy crap this helped me so much!!! Just getting into kayak fishing love doin it, have a hard time gettin in and out! Most times end up wet. Bet I don’t now. Thanks so much.

[@OddHeathen]

Thank you very much for making this video. I just bought a sit in fishing yak. First time kayaker. I assume this method would work the same.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

It’s pretty similar, you just have to do a little more “scooting” in a sit inside kayak.
