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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@timjohnson7419]

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

[@YakFishField]

Thanks so much for watching, Tim!

[@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!

[@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!

[@patrickconnors8403]

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

[@YakFishField]

+Patrick Connors thanks Patrick I appreciate that

[@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 👊🏼

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@AmateurClimber]

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

[@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.

[@grunter1389]

Super good show Ol chap !

[@YakFishField]

+Grunter thanks man!

[@woodsnwateroutdooradventur9813]

Awesome video! Very useful info for someone relatively new to filming from a kayak. Looking forward to upgrading this coming year and incorporating some of this.

[@YakFishField]

+Hooked Up Fishing glad you found it helpful man! I’ll be doing more instructional/how-to vids in 2018

[@woodsnwateroutdooradventur9813]

Robert Field look forward to seeing them!

[@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.

[@lojofishing]

Good stuff man, my kayak is rigged very similar

[@YakFishField]

+lojo.fishing nice!

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@slikrik6098]

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

[@YakFishField]

+SlikRik thanks man!

[@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

[@golongle]

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

[@YakFishField]

Glad you dug it man!

[@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]

+Missouri Kayak Fishing my pleasure man! Glad it was helpful.

[@reelepicadventures8527]

Hey Rob, thanks for showing your kayak setup and also thanks for the shout out Cheers callum

[@YakFishField]

+callum millar thanks for commenting and for suggesting the vid Callum!

[@joshuagalloway184]

Dude, you have a killer set up

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Joshua, it works for me

[@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.

[@jwestfishing3229]

Thank you for all the helpful hints!

[@YakFishField]

Glad you found it useful!

[@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?

[@damiansimpkins1415]

Great vid there. Might check out some of the NRS gear, the PFD looks very good. Loving your channel and videos.

[@YakFishField]

+Damian Simpkins it's awesome man, you'll love it

[@joeyguillen5847]

you are a star robert i peeped it lol! good video man.....i gotta get a kayak!

[@shorecroftkayaks1566]

Love the set up mate

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Daniel

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@lowrider77566]

Thanks for making this video I'm gonna use your type of platform for my own videos for cameras plus I'm just starting out and thanks again for making this video

[@YakFishField]

Glad it helped Martin!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@devildoc2235]

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Matthew

[@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

[@YakSavageFishing]

+Antoine Vril you're welcome Antoine thank you for watching!

[@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!

[@paultaylor3856]

Thanks Robert, really interesting stuff👍

[@YakFishField]

Glad you thought so Paul!

[@bonniehedden5579]

Thanks for sharing all your great ideas 👍😊🎥

[@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.

[@lancelewandowski2667]

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.

[@jamesqueen115]

Another great video. Thank you

[@YakFishField]

+James Queen glad you liked it James

[@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.

[@michaelbowen984]

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

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for commenting bud. :)

[@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.

[@YakMotley]

Awesome video!

[@YakFishField]

+Yak Motley 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.

[@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 ?

[@shawnmcmurray7180]

[@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.

[@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

[@MrDaveB123]

Great information Thanks

[@reelfloridafishing2842]

You should do a rod collection video

[@YakFishField]

+reel florida fishing it's on the list

[@AliexFolgueira]

When offshore (I'm pretty bad at it) o always use a full size pdf

[@YakFishField]

Good call man. Look forward to seeing you when I'm on the east coast again.

[@AliexFolgueira]

likewise 😀

[@davidschulman4598]

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

[@stoner516r]

Great informative video. My son is getting stationed in SD so this series is really helpful. I didn't see mention of what VHF radio you used. I see it is a cobra but not which model. There are so many good and bad reviews. Its hard to decide. Did a recent offshore trip without one and saw how fast it can go from glass to choppy. And decided I needed to make that purchase before venturing out offshore again. Also and this may be a mute point as I have just about talked myself into an Outback. But what is the purpose of a rudder in a fishing paddle kayak? I mean I can maneuver the kayak fine. But when I stop to fish the wind blows me around and I loose position. Will a rudder keep me straight Or straighter. Currently using a cuda 12.

[@YakFishField]

+S Stone hey man, good stuff. A VHF radio is a MUST offshore and I was kicking myself when I realized I forgot to talk about it much. Cobra and Uniden are good brands. There's a link to the one I currently own in the description of this bio. Basically I stick to the $50-60 range but they tend to die every couple years. I'm not great about maintaining my stuff tho so probably my fault. For the Outback you have to have a rudder to steer with pedals. On a paddle kayak like the Cuda, it will help you turn tighter.

[@garymyers472]

Enjoyed the presentation. I am planning on getting a Sony 6500 with IS soon. Liked your advice on the case. Will be getting a Hobie Revolution. Do you have an issue with H Rails? Also I always have a bait tank. How can you square that with your soft waterproof storage bag?

[@YakFishField]

The 6500 is a great camera. Nope the H Rails are great. That soft pak is a cooler, it's not waterproof. But the front hatch is a perfect place for drybags.

[@elijahwald3766]

Hey could you do a video on how you roof up your kayak for lake fishing

[@YakFishField]

+Elijah Wald yes i can! I’ll work on that soon

[@elijahwald3766]

Robert Field thank you so much I am looking into getting a kayak to fish on a lake this will help a lot.

[@bayleyinnes1833]

I once snaped a railblaza rod holder

[@YakFishField]

Really? How'd it happen? One of the ones in this video is 4 years old and barely looks used at all.

[@bayleyinnes1833]

Robert Field it snaped when I flipped my kayak

[@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.

[@MVCompassRose]

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.

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

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

[@sunil838]

Great info ..What brand and model of kayak are you using ?

[@YakFishField]

Hobie Outback

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.

This is a very informative video! Just curious why you fish the Outback over the PA? I'm trying to decide for myself. Hope you and your family is safe in Texas!

[@YakFishField]

+Michael I fish a wide variety of bodies of water and conditions, and I think the Outback is more versatile. I can paddle it in shallow water if I need to. I can also carry it by myself when necessary and can car-top it when I need to. It's also just less expensive. The PA is a great boat but it struggles in shallow water and in the surf. I also prefer the Outback's handling on rough days offshore. But barring those situations, the PA is the Cadillac of yaks and much more roomy than the Outback.

Another great video man! Keep them coming. I want to buy The Rail Blaza Camera mount but I had a quick question , what rail blaza base mount (that I screw into my outback) allows you to swivel the camera like that?

[@YakFishField]

They all do. I like the Starport HD because it's sturdier, so your boom stays firm. Use code field1720 to get a discount on Railblaza stuff at www.yak-gear.com
