How to Rig your Kayak for Fishing & Filming |

[@KayakCatfish]

Awesome video! This answered all my questions about how you film on the water. Thank you for the shoutout as well. Very cool to hear my channel mentioned on your video.

[@YakFishField]

+Kayak Catfish glad it helped man, and thanks for commenting and requesting a vid!

[@Johnnyreengo]

And now your channel has blown up too

[@nonamenancy1945]

Dude, I swear you’ll be officially the best kayak angler if you blowfish out of your kayak. Props on the videos you’ve been making, you’re definitely a KZbinr most kayak anglers look up to !!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Spencer, I appreciate that bro

[@DieHardFishing]

Great video, I recently started kayak fishing and I am falling in love with it. A lot of good tips in this video that I will incorporate with my kayak. I primarily fish the Central California Coast and recently started my channel focusing on that. I have been following your series of fishing up the California Coast and look forward to the remaining videos. If you ever need a buddy to fish with in the Bay Area, let me know!

[@YakFishField]

Glad you found it helpful bro! Next episode is in Morro Bay and then Leffingwell. Not too far from ya. Hope you enjoy em man. Next time I hit the west coast we'll have to get together.

[@DieHardFishing]

Sounds good man, looking forward to those videos! Hit me up next time you are in the area!

[@claudiaweber2127]

Thank you so much for making your videos, I really enjoy them and your explanations for WHY you do what you’re doing. Please don’t forget that there are women kayak fishing too. I enjoy your enthusiasm very much, as I get tired of boring fishermen, and I STILL get excited every time I catch a fish! 👍😎🎣

[@YakFishField]

Absolutely! Just spent the last week kayak fishing with two ladies in Panama

[@fiveforfishing2366]

Bravo, well done. Liked. I learned a ton with the view. I'll be coming back to this vid frequently. Thx bud. 👍

[@YakFishField]

Glad to hear it was helpful Ryan!

[@YakinwithJack]

I use the railblaza camera booms as works great. But the using the audio from your head mount is a great idea. I'm going to try to integrate that with my next video. Thanks for the tips brother

[@YakFishField]

+Yakin with Jack no problem man glad it was helpful

[@lyfzgoodgarage826]

Very Informational I’ve been looking to getting to kayak fishing and was just kind of curious how to set up my own kayak and everything so this was probably the most and that video that I’ve watched on how to set up my cameras and gear

[@YakFishField]

Glad you found it useful Matthew! Cheers 👊🏼

[@kevinfayard7790]

Fantastic video Robert. You are a truly gifted commentator. I appreciate the candid, honest product reviews and your in-depth explanations as to why you like or dislike something. Keep up the great work and I will keep following.

[@YakFishField]

+Kevin Fayard glad you found it helpful Kevin!

[@patrickconnors8403]

I have a sweet dry bag and understand how important that is... going to start trying all this in November, lake fishing. Couldn't buy an NRS Chinook, they don't have my size (I'm not small enough, lol) and went with the Extrasport Evolve Angler Personal Flotation Device in green (good prices). Will be renting a kayak in the beginning. Great advice Robert.

[@YakFishField]

+Patrick Connors good stuff man!

[@timjohnson7419]

Awesome video, I don’t miss a single video, thanks a lot for all the information!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks so much for watching, Tim!

[@desfarrell909]

Boom! New subscriber. Studying religiously for my small kayak fishing in Roaring Water Bay, West Cork, Ireland. The safety tips are brilliant. Outrageously good videos.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for the sub man, glad you found the content helpful!

[@jordanrodriguez4313]

Crazy how much your channel has grown I've been watching since 2015 .i remember I DMed you a question and you replied ! Keep up the good work!!!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for sticking around Jordan! I appreciate it bud

[@WaynJul]

Good tips. I wear an inflatable jacket but am looking at the Chinook as an extra choice to wear.

[@YakFishField]

I think it's good to have that option.

[@jeremypierce1607]

I know you mentioned your drift sock for slowing yourself down, but you can also use it to slow down a big fish by adding more drag if he's pulling the boat. A guy up in Mass was looking for a way to slow down big bluefins and that was my suggestion to him and not long after he was able to get a massive tuna on his kayak without getting pulled seven miles. My buddy in Florida has since used his to help with landing tarpon to keep from getting drug miles down the beach. they are really handy as long as you have it on short lines so that you don't get tangles if the fish doubles back on you.

[@YakFishField]

+jeremy pierce great tip that I should have mentioned, I do that all the time. Even when I don't plan on using it to drift, I always have it offshore in case I hook a big shark or a marlin or something of that nature. Definitely requires some extra juggling though once the fish is close. At that time I try to pull it up if possible, but it isn't always.

[@1Bunkershop]

Thanks for the ideas and tips I recently started kayak fishing and filming I use my kayak most for diving

[@YakFishField]

+Aquamanny nice dude! I really want to try spearfishing from the yak

[@1Bunkershop]

Robert Field it’s fun and easy I will be posting a some videos doing it ,I am waiting on the water to get better because after the hurricane the visibility is really bad

[@Jacob-lw8km]

Thank you so much for making this video Robert, I almost bought a yak attack black pak when you uploaded this. Now I just ordered the nrs ambush tackle bag and I can't wait. Thank you so much man!

[@YakFishField]

It's sweet dude you'll like it!

[@Jacob-lw8km]

What do you put in it, is it just generic things or anything very specific that is a must have every time out on the water that you would recommend?

[@retnav92]

Informative video. I recently bought and added a Railblaza "R" rod holder to my rig, and am liking the quick convenience of the HD Starport connection base. Well-made gear!

[@YakFishField]

+Greg Jackson yeah man, their stuff rocks

[@Butlerfishing707]

Love watching you videos. Hopefully you will make one fishing in my local waters off the north coast of California. Earlier this year I purchased my first fishing kayak, a PA 14. After watching this video I will be making some changes to my setup. Thank you for making this video. I can't wait to see your next fishing video and your rod and reel video.

[@YakFishField]

+Butler Fishing 707 nice man, use those H Rails! The PA is a great boat. And I'm heading north all the way to Seattle so stay tuned

[@Butlerfishing707]

Robert Field hopefully you make a trip to Humboldt County. Fishing has been great.

[@brandonkirk103]

Thats was a really helpful video Robert, it was probably the best run down of a kayak that I have seen on youtube. A video on your rods and reels that you took on the trip would be really helpfulif you made it. Keep up the great work Robert!

[@YakFishField]

Yessir, rod and reels is on the list.

[@brandonkirk103]

Awsome

[@bigm766]

What I love is if it's a gear review or fishing it's so inter tanning and you should team up with black tip h and fish for big sharks and groupers

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man! I know Josh from Blacktiph personally, we've been meaning to do a vid together for a while.

[@edwardwells5864]

Bro', You have some of the most amazing videos!!! They have great footage, great narration /explaination. Your videos are becoming quiet the addiction of late as a result. This particular video answered just about every question I had before I had a chance to ask it, especially in light of the fact that I am about to upgrade my ride from a Ocean Kayak Prowler 13 to a Hobie Outback 2019! For the love of God, please keep them coming!!!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for the kind words Edward, glad you’re digging the content. The new Outback looks really slick. I’ll be announcing another new boat that might appeal to you for much less money. Look for that in about a month

[@patrickconnors8403]

You are very good at this, one of the best... if not the best.

[@YakFishField]

+Patrick Connors thanks Patrick I appreciate that

[@mablank48]

mablank48 here, great episodes I watch every one. I resort to watching all your episodes on KZbin then watching cable TV. The content of your shows are fabulous. Thanks for the fishing.

[@YakFishField]

+mablank48 thanks man, that means a lot!! I appreciate it.

[@magosteamj1243]

I HAVE SEEN FOUR TIMES YOUR VIDEO VERY GOOD SETUP. I REALLY LIKE HOW YOU HAVE THAT KAYAK THANKS FOR SOME IDEAS. AND A LOT OF LUCK IN THE FISHES

[@YakFishField]

I’m glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching.

[@lojofishing]

Good stuff man, my kayak is rigged very similar

[@YakFishField]

+lojo.fishing nice!

[@andrewsnyder179]

As always, your post are very informative, real, and entertaining. I always look forward to your posts . Keep coming .

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for the kind words Andrew!

[@ChrisParrishOutdoors]

I just got a Hobie Tandem Island and look forward to getting out fishing with it and just sailing in general. This was immensely helpful.

[@jefbrewer]

Great information! I've been debating camera booms for a while now but the features in the Railblaza 600 pretty much sealed the deal. Thanks for everything and get yourself up to Norcal soon!

[@YakFishField]

+Jef Brewer glad you found it helpful man. Episode 8 is in northern Cali, coming a week from Tuesday

[@jefbrewer]

Bummer I missed you! Definitely need to hit the water with you sometime. Los Buzos or Rancho Leonero sound about right!

[@justadude1062]

I appreciate all the videos man! Keep it up! Def in my top 5 channels I get alerts to watch. Tight lines bro

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Luke!

[@scottehrlich6653]

Did you just squeeze a 2 hour video in that slot? You gave so much perfectly communicated information quickly without ever taking a breath. Obviously you have fished so much you've grown gills. Ok let's recap: Fish Brain and Gills I am going with dates Mermaids? That was epic bro and you gave away some secrets, stop that lol. Respect the confidence @Robert Field. Thank you very much. Over.

[@YakFishField]

+Scott Ehrlich hahaha thanks Scott. It was about 98 degrees so I didn't have time to waste. I was still drenched by the time I got inside haha. No secrets here man, I'm happy to help anyone that wants to learn.

[@garymyers472]

Lots of great information . Thanks. The county Park with trailer hook up is $29/ night 21 days max if you want to do a La Jolla trip or San Vicente Bass trip. Your thoughts on the Outback vs. a Revolution 13 or 15.

[@YakFishField]

It’ll be a while til I make it to Cali with the rig. Outback is more stable, good for standing. Revo is faster, especially the 15.

[@jridoutdoors4866]

Favorite freshwater kayak under 1000 for small lakes. Ponds and small rivers

[@YakFishField]

+Jrid Outdoors id look at the Pelican Catch 120 (there's a full video review on my channel), the Perception Pescador Pro and the Wilderness Systems Ride 115 or 135

[@jridoutdoors4866]

thank you

[@AmateurClimber]

Unbelievably useful!!!! Many thanks bro. Love from UK 🇬🇧

[@l2andom]

Great video. Thinking of getting an outback myself, just recently sold my older model revo and need something for the estuaries. Got glass and an A.I. for outside work. That NRS tacklebag looks fantastic, I'll definitely be getting one of those.

[@YakFishField]

+/Fish nice dude you'll love the Ambush, and the Outback is a really great all around boat. Super versatile.

[@jwestfishing3229]

Thank you for all the helpful hints!

[@woodsnwateroutdooradventur9813]

[@michaelbowen984]

This freakin made my day when you shouted me out!!! Thanks soooo much:):):):)

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for commenting bud. :)

[@peterhavord5984]

Robert, thanks for a very informative video. I have a couple of questions: 1) How do you secure your kayak to a trailer or roof racks to reduce the risk ofl theft ? 2) Have you got your kayak insured against theft and other types of loss ?

[@sedatklnc9858]

I learned a lot about videos too . Thank you Robert

[@YakFishField]

+Internet Explorer glad it was helpful!!

[@sedatklnc9858]

Robert I want to get 1 of these . can you send it to Turkey?

[@robmarquis7532]

Great video Robert. I am planning to get a kayak soon for offshore fishing and I will be referencing this video again when that time comes. Love your channel man!

[@benjaminbrown134]

If you ever make is to Monterey Bay check out Moss Landing. Great fishing and Local wildlife in the sloughs to record.

[@YakFishField]

+benjamin brown I'll have to do that!

[@pollyp4730]

Thanks for the info mate. I have been looking at crate storage and that option look perfect

[@YakFishField]

+Polly P good deal! It works well for me

[@jimmyceltic4120]

Another cool video must help to have sponsors alot of the gear is pricey. Have a good day and stay safe

[@YakFishField]

+Jimmy Celtic the key is to just pick up one or two things here and there as you need it. It took me 5 years to build this setup. I didn't buy it all overnight

[@jimmyceltic4120]

Robert Field i have had a crappy year we lived in the city two weeks before we move to our new apartment in the burbs took family away camping while we was gone someone broke into our storage and took everything all my fishing gear rods reels everything even my new kayak i used couple of times. I have a wife and kids so it took me forever to get what i had . They even took a 8 dollar bait bucket i have been saving for a bit for my first kayak. When i got out there in the kayak fishing it was like everything in life disappears for the couple of hours i was out there used it 3 times now i have to start over. I know it will be years till i get another kayak just wish some people worked for their own stuff instead of stealing mine i literally have nothing so depressing.I know nobody cares i was just venting lol. I fish thru your vids thanks and have a good day and stay safe

[@show-meadventure4900]

Thanks for making this! Great information that's really helpful, especially your detail about getting the audio from your Action Hat cam.

[@YakFishField]

[@slikrik6098]

Great info, all your hard work pays off, you have great production skills.

[@YakFishField]

+SlikRik thanks man!

[@TantalineCompany]

Love your videos. For your anchor line I have seen you have it wrapped around a Buoy that you have clipped to your anchor trolley. Could you explain that setup. It looks really good. Thx

[@YakFishField]

I used a buoy that has a tunnel through it and feed the line through. That way if I have to unclip from the anchor in a hurry, I can go back and find the floating end of the line

[@RadReelingFishing]

Great video Rob. I'm new to yak fishing. I've watched this video a couple of times in the past three months, excellent. I lost a Gopro with the Railblaza, tough lesson learned about leashing everything; I checked the slip lock near the camera before going for the underwater shot, it was the second knuckle that was in the unlocked position, ouch. I've since leashed all the knuckles and Gopro attaching screw with zip ties. How do you ensure those locking clips on the Railblaza dont cause you to lose a Gopro?

[@YakFishField]

Ahhh sorry to hear that man. I just check em before I go out and now and then throughout the day. Haven’t ever lost one and while I probably should, I never leash em either lol

[@bonniehedden5579]

Thanks for sharing all your great ideas 👍😊🎥

[@Tarvx]

Rob you make great quality videos keep it up, its almost like watching the Outdoor Channel, the way you film with drones and your adventures great job.

[@shorecroftkayaks1566]

Love the set up mate

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Daniel

[@austin12m]

One thing I'd really like to do someday is do a week long trip down a river like you did down the devils river in Texas. So I would love it it you could share what you pack when you go on a trip like that. Really any tips for planing a trip like that would be helpful. It seems like it would be difficult to be able to pack enough supplies in a kayak to survive a week on the river.

[@YakFishField]

Yeah dude, I'll definitely do one on that. Those multi-day river trips are what a lot of my viewers like. And they're my favorite kind of trips to go on. It's on the list!

[@devildoc2235]

Hey Robert, do you use a vhf radio offshore and if so could you go over some recommendations on pluses/minuses of different radios. Love the videos, keep em coming. Thanks!

[@YakFishField]

+michael campbell yeah I have a link in this video description to the one I use. Cobra and Uniden are great brands and just be sure to get one that's waterproof and floats.

[@lowrider77566]

Dude, you have a killer set up

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Joshua, it works for me

[@golongle]

Great job man. These are my favorite type of videos.

[@YakFishField]

Glad you dug it man!

[@garymyers472]

I was referring to the waterproof gear bag and how it would work on a Revolution with a Hobie bait tank

[@YakFishField]

Oh, the Ambush Tackle Bag. No, they won't both fit. The Livewell takes up most of the tankwell in the Outback and Revo. I can barely jam my Bison Cooler Soft Pak into the space between. There's some space behind the livewell but hard to reach and definitely not enough for the Ambush.

[@finnafishfl]

This video was awesome. I'm going to start kayak fishing/filming one day so this was very helpful. Wont be taking it offshore after this video haha

[@YakFishField]

+Finna Fish haha being offshore is totally safe as long as you take precautions and always go with a buddy. But flipping is always a possibility in lakes and rivers too. The key is to just be prepared for it. In episode 9 one of my companions flips in the Columbia River

[@finnafishfl]

Robert Field Completely not for me to be honest. Im actually going to start kayak fishing for fish that live in backwater scenarios. Mostly small river/creek fishing. I may also use it to target some decent crappie and Catfish and for some inshore saltwater stuff. Its more about the gear I use and going through the waves.

[@luisserrano6508]

Man, it will be nice if you do a video on Kayak Camping gear, me and the wife saw your trip where the flood occurred and seem very cool. !!!

[@YakFishField]

+Luis Serrano I'll definitely be doing one on multi-day kayak camping trips.

[@smurfsocks6215]

Robert, I love the awesome videos and info! So glad you're posting new videos more frequently. Where did you get that "Catch Photo Release" shirt? It's awesome!

[@YakFishField]

+Barry Thompson thanks man, glad you're digging the series! That shirt was designed by my good friend Rex Del Rey, same guy who invented the ActionHat! Get yours at www.fshfrsh.com

[@hanskristiangaarden5491]

Great video. Question: do you mount your fish finder sensor inside or outside the kayak?

[@YakFishField]

+Hans Kristian Gaarden the Hobie has a built in pocket for it, technically outside the kayak

[@kylelehnick9362]

Bought the NRS pilot knife after viewing this video. Was under the impression that NRS was an American company and assumed their products were also made in the US. Especially considering the $50 price with shipping. The knife seems relatively well made but a little heavier than I expected. Disappointed that what I thought was a 'made in America' brand is using cheap overseas labor and mark-ups to turn a profit.

[@YakFishField]

+Michael Morgan sorry you were disappointed. They are an American company, but that doesn't mean they use 100% Made-in-USA components or products. I also don't think working with manufacturers overseas necessarily means it was cheap labor or an excessive mark-up. It could mean that, sure, but NRS gear is quality. If it being made overseas is a deal breaker for ya, that's a personal decision and one that I respect.

[@YakinwithJack]

What I like to do on my railblaza boom is wrap a pool noodle on it just in case is not properly secured. You can see it in my videos if you want to see it.

[@YakFishField]

+Yakin with Jack great idea man!

[@YakFishField]

+Joey Guillen thanks Joey! Do it, you won't regret it

[@timward5303]

When using the GoPro on the ActionHat, do you use the skeleton case to get the best audio? Or are you running the waterproof case and the proximity to your lips smacking allows for such good audio? As always, thanks for the quality content and ability to form long string, coherent sentences - its not easy.

[@YakFishField]

+Tim Ward haha I like "One Take Jake"d this whole video as fast as possible because it was HOT. I was sweating profusely by the end of it. I typically run the Hero 4 on my head with the waterproof soft plastic back. It's not waterproof very deep but if my head is deep underwater, something is very wrong haha. The Hero 5 also has much improved audio which would be good for the ActionHat.

[@SwitchbackXThunter]

I have a question about your Lowrance depth finder. I currently have the Hook 7 on my bass boat, and want to put it on my kayak also when using it. What happens if you take a swim and the unit gets submerged long enough to get back upright? Great channel! Subscribed!!

[@YakFishField]

They should hold up to being submerged just fine. Shouldn’t take more than 30 seconds or so to get her righted. But they’re all sealed units so they should be fine unless you leave them under for a while.

[@tomterrific2018]

Rob..NRS TACKLE BAG...fish from 16ft Revo..back area always has few inches of water in it.. rides very low in water..do you think that bag will keep gear dry ?? Thanks Tom ...great videos

[@YakFishField]

+Tom Terrific yes it should, waterproof material and good seams

[@dog9970]

Thumbs up. How simple the solution for boat noise taking over the audio! You ever look into something like Outex for waterproofing the camera outside the pelican case? Can't say I've used them but reviews are good, just an idea. Curious if you are catching any flak from the other "seasoned" kayak folks in your circle for giving up the trade secrets? Now off to google action hats and hope they ship to Canada.

[@YakFishField]

+Denver Deschenes I don't worry too much about the camera outside of the case. I have insurance on it. And I've never caught any flak to my face, and quite frankly if someone got upset over me trying to help people learn, they can shove it. No secrets here, always happy to help share what little knowledge I've accrued over the years.

[@TheBowserJournal]

Tons of information! I loved the filming part....:)

[@YakFishField]

+The Bowser Journal: Living Our Own Story thanks man, glad you found it helpful!

[@TheBowserJournal]

I will be adding the camera grip on my kayak too for better footage. I already have a Scotty attachment. May have to add a second for other angles. Another reason I liked your video was you talked bout the action hat that floats in the water even if it has a gopro attached. I often kayak with a hat mounted gopro and just lost one of my hats on Saturday (thankfully the gopro was not attached). Thanks again and keep up the great content.

[@reelfloridafishing2842]

You should do a rod collection video

[@YakFishField]

+reel florida fishing it's on the list

[@pilot2518]

Hi Robert, I am just starting to review and research ocean fishing kayaks and so far the Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 14 is my favorite for many reasons. I have a lifetime of inshore and offshore fishing experience and kayak fishing experience as well but I haven't yet tried to fish the ocean in one. I will be fishing the east coast of Florida and putting in at the beach. I would like to know your thoughts about this yak and if you think it would be good for my mission or if you would recommend something else. Thanks!

[@YakFishField]

I think the Hobie Outback is better for offshore, but the PA is great for inshore. It will do okay offshore as long as it’s not too rough and the surf isn’t too bad.

Great video!

[@YakFishField]

+E J thanks man!

[@FTW1374]

Nice, great episode. I'm obviously just starting out filming so this actually helps alot with how to rig camera booms et cetra. I was thinking about wasp cams rigged with their waterproof power cords running to a dedicated battery source, but I'm thinking that would rule out the ability to swing the camera boom. Just curious what's the battery run time/management like with Gopros? Meaning how often do you have to change out batteries?

[@YakFishField]

I know some guys that hard wire 'em. GoPros too, you just have to DIY the case a bit. Not the new Hero 5 though. Batteries last maybe 90 minutes of filming. I buy some extended battery backs that last 6 hours. Search Amazon for re-fuel gopro and you'll find em. Only for Hero 3/4 though.

[@bigm766]

You should do a challenge where you do a freshwater duck or frog or rat in saltwater

[@YakFishField]

+Stormhood Prototype duck lures definitely work for redfish

[@YakFishField]

+Blackpearl Fishing I can do that! Maybe "just the essentials" type of deal?

[@KayakFishingAddict]

Ok, so this is likely 2 years late but thanks for this video. I'm wondering how you (1) sync the footage between your multiple GoPro's if you're using the audio from your hat cam (explained in another video), and (2) your editing process and the software tools you use for that?

[@YakFishField]

I use Adobe Premiere and you can use the Synchronize feature to line up different clips in time based on audio

[@KayakFishingAddict]

@@YakFishField Awesome, thanks. Keep the great content coming!

[@kenrobison9528]

Thanks for the great information.

[@YakFishField]

+Ken Robison glad you found it helpful Ken!

[@tylerlam2494]

Robert can you do a video on everything you need after purchasing a kayak like a scupper plug

[@YakFishField]

Well man it's really a personal choice for a lot of that. To use your example, I never use scupper plugs. But plenty of guys do. It'd be hard to go into THAT many details without it being an hour long video. I can definitely do another one for, say, freshwater instead of offshore. Show some different products I use. I'll think about it some more.

Nice setup, gave me some good ideas. Hey I was about to buy a used Hobie Outback but just saw the release of the new Compass; were you able to get a glimpse while at their headquarters, if so will there be a review soon?

[@YakFishField]

I haven't seen it in person or gotten it on the water yet. Looks solid, basically just a dumbed down Outback for less money. I'm glad they have something more affordable now. Hobie doesn't really make bad products so I'm sure it'll be nice. If I get my hands on one I'll do a full review.

Your vids are always top notch What do u think about the Hobie Passport? Do you have an opinion of it? Think it's worth using for inshore or maybe calm ocean off shore fishing?

[@YakFishField]

Thanks man. I don’t think it’s suited for offshore. Thermoformed kayaks aren’t as durable and it’s pretty bare bones. Might be worth spending more for something else.

@@YakFishField compass? I just dont want a huge kayak in the back of my small pickup or on top of my 4runner. But I dont disagree

Hi Rob, love your video’s great set up, just a question, what’s your opinion on trolling motors or torqeedo’s on off shore fishing ? or do you prefer peddle’s and what’s your opinion on the 2019 outback ? Regards Tony

Hey man awesome vid, but where do you put your big fish when you go offshore?

[@YakFishField]

+Miguel VI typically in a fish bag (soft cooler). Hobie and Native Watercraft both make one
