I took my Old Town Sportsman 106 Pdl through a crazy storm.

The Old Town Sportsman 106 PDL is a legendary fishing kayak, but how does it handle 50mph winds?
I was distracted by how much the fish were biting, and before I knew it, it was time to focus on survival.
Here are some links to stuff in the video for those interested.

I’m really enjoying your vids dude! They’re really fun to watch🎉

[@TeezleySPT]

I’ve got the same yak. I just got an anchor wizard, a ‘Navarre kayak fishing’ front mount, and ‘da bomb’ anchor. It works awesome

[@John-jr7xn]

Usually the hook 🪝 is for a trailer when you throw a spinning lure, chatter bait, jig. Ketiech soft plastics has great options bro. Nice video

[@ch33kz]

Great video, glad all turned out well for you.

[@NWTrailSeries]

Thank you! Definitely one of my favorite videos I've made. But damn does it feel good to hear ya call it great, tyty my friend

[@chasecarter4760]

You know it's windy when the poles start whistling

[@NWTrailSeries]

I just recently got an ultralight, and its got the high pitch whistle, and the baitcaster does the bass. They were really jammin at one point

[@MyBeansAndToast]

You can maneuver your yak and adjust your speed to account for those waves so you don't get so many over the bow. Try hitting them at a 46 degree angle instead of straight on, and don't pedal as you go over them, just in between them.

[@MyBeansAndToast]

45 degree, not specifically 46 lol. I have the PDL 120, by the way.

[@NWTrailSeries]

I remember reading something about that with boating. Definitely didn't think about it while I was out there, but I'll give it a go next time! Ty for the advice!

[@nobelsonsiburian5030]

wow...fishing using a canoe is definitely fun bro like going on an adventure good luck with your channel ok

[@NWTrailSeries]

Thanks! Was definitely an adventure that day. Appreciate it!

[@MrFowl]

You should pick up a little tenkara rod and some flies. That way you can fish the creeks. I'm just getting into tenkara (I wanted something i could bring on a hike), and so far it's quite cheap and fun ...but a little tougher to find fishing spots.

[@NWTrailSeries]

I'd never heard of those! Honestly looks pretty sweet. I was wanting something for hiking/camping this summer, that looks like a good route to go. Ty for the the tip my friend! -Josh

[@MrFowl]

@@NWTrailSeries Took me a while to find tenkara too. I tried some travel spinning reels/rods, but this is WAY lighter/smaller. I landed on the "Aventik Zeno S2-Glass Tenkara Rod" from Amazon. If you find some good creeks I'd love to see them! I live in Seattle and the fishing scene here is pretty dry so it's hard to find good spots. I've been dying to go MTN biking with the rod and then fish the creeks. Roslyn/Leavenworth look like a perfect places to do a bike/fish day, but the Olympic side also has some trails near some good looking creeks 👍

[@Andis01]

"Hopefully not too interesting" lol

[@NWTrailSeries]

I was pretty pleased with that lol. I'm working on a youtube-short comparing it to the movie The Perfect Storm, and I say something literally perfect for it. Got some more work to do on it tho

[@GoofyPs4Streams]

I perfer catching a load of 1-3lb bass than like two 5-7lb bass

[@NWTrailSeries]

It's a good time reeling them in on like every cast. Buuut I'd take a 7, that's like double my Pb

[@GoofyPs4Streams]

@NWTrailSeries yeah true dat but get a day full of 2 or 3lb bass and it be fun
