Is This KAYAK Worth $3799?? First Trip On The Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 120 (kayak fishing)

Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 120 - bit.ly/sportsman_sbfishingtv
Dakota Lithium - bit.ly/DakotaLithium
Finally got the chance to get the Autopilot 120 out on the water for the maiden voyage. My main goal was to get it out on the water, see how it handled, check the speed, storage, how easy it was to fish out of and of course catch at least one fish. We go over all of these things in the video and I shared my experience as a novice kayak fisherman taking the autopilot 120 out for the first time.
Hope you guys enjoyed this video, please leave me a comment down below on suggestions with tricking this thing out a bit!

Bro love that kayak. And yes, it's worth that and more. My brother has that boar. He sits on the bank and plays with it like a remote controlled boat. He had it 150 yards from shore, and turned it around, and set the Harding to pock him up. Lol. I was going to get that exact boat. However, I did get my 12ft X 34" wide kayak. And it's a Hybrid. So instead of the PDL Drive, I purchased the 46lb thrust center pod fitted trolling motor. So I spent $2,000 on my boat, with the kayak, motor, paddle, anchor trolleys, deck mat, scuppers, and the Padddle and framed seat, came with the boat. Thar left me another $1,000 Dollars in accessories, I bought, and I'm still setting up. But you're gonna love that boat. I believe it to be the perfect kayak. For cruising, fishing, tournamants etc. Good luck with her. I 🎣🤟🙏

Wears me out loading it out of the water but all else rocks. Thanks for the great vid. Yep, for me worth the money. Hope you get to keep yours. They are really fun, also I took the passenger seat out of my Dodge Caravan and slide it right in just 2 feet sticking out. I even leave it on the Kayak cart, in my van. Easy in Easy out... Love it... my first boat ever.

Sure you could buy a jon boat for $4k but that jon isnt coming with an ultrex trolling motor. Spotlock is awesome. Once you have it you cant ever go back.

[@slopboss382]

You need some boonedox groovy landing gear there a way better set of wheels, and a black pak crate with rod holders and your in the game, I heard you say your gonna put a solix12 on there so that will integrate with the motor and you'll have GPS routes so you can set it and forget it!!

Not sure if it will connect to the motor or not - I’ve done some searching on it and I’ve come up short.

[@williamhiatt2565]

VID IDEA for the new yak- come to Wise county VA and RIP some LIPS with me!!! Opportunities to catch largemouth, smallmouth, spots, and muskies all on one lake!!! and the yak is the best way to fish it most lakes surrounding me.

Glad you liked the kayak, love my setup I'm all in at 2800 with a Jackson coosa, bassyaks trolling motor setup, scotty stabilizers and a humminbird helix 7. It's a sweet setup but cant really beat the comfort the jon boat! Wish I had the spot lock, bring it up to shepardstown and test it in the river

[@SBFishing]

I may have to do that

[@kvn826]

I fished for a kayak for a long time. Even had one of the first 2020 native Titans that I fished for a bit. I’ve switched to a jon boat and couldn’t imagine going back to the kayak. The kayak was great, but covering miles on big lakes or rivers is the best. Plus the added space for rods and tackles it’s huge.

[@migesfishing7736]

i bought a transducer and cables that match my boat unit so i could just transfer it from the boat to the kayak with out having to buy two units... just a thought..

super cool bro. I am a boat guy too. i don't get the best stability on a Kayak. always feel like I am gonna flip over

[@danield.4569]

Another awesome video! The spot lock is key; tossing buoy markers and constant paddling is draining but you get the perk of a workout. You should have tested the motor/battery by trolling between the damn and island, maybe next time. Looking forward to future kayak videos, maybe even more of Burke too. Really looking forward to the October tournament videos; may even have to swing by for the weigh in.

[@SBFishing]

I ran it all over the lake from the lower ramp, to up lake, back downlake to up lake back down to mid and back and barely used any battery.

[@joshuad.3466]

Great vid Matt, I fish out of a kayak on the regular and I know how myself and anyone else that spends a lot of time in a kayak fights the wind, that boat would make anyone’s time on the water super efficient, yes it’s a bunch of money, but wow, what a cool boat !

[@bookermoore9470]

You do such a great job with the details on your comments; your sponsors should be really happy. Such a tough decision between Jon boat, kayak and canoe (I just bought a Golden Hawk canoe decked out for musky fishing). This kayak with the built in trolling motor is great. Can’t wait to hear about the batteries; the weight issue is a big deal to me as a older fisherman. Thanks for your efforts!

[@johngrimes7510]

You’re dealing with a beast, I believe I mentioned this to you before. Number one if you plan to use a cart by a good one. I noticed the cart was too far to the rear it needs to come forward up into the seating area to balance itself off better and make the load lighter for you. More to come.You would enjoy that kayak more if you put it on a trailer. It would make your life a lot easier.

[@SBFishing]

Thanks for the tip John, appreciate it man. I'll work with what I have for now but if I get more into the kayak fishing deal I may get a trailer.

[@billcotton1551]

Nice Kayak ,it's like a yacht compared to mine.

[@RhinoVenturesOutdoors]

Thanks for your thoughts on the kayak, Matt. I fish from a kayak almost exclusively and I really enjoy it. I've never really considered a motorized yak, as I enjoy paddling for the exercise. However, as I get older I may change my mind on that. The wind is a pain at times, and that spot lock looks pretty awesome. I just use with an anchor system, with a small winch.

[@SBFishing]

I understand the paddling for exercise, and I gotta admit the anchor method is probably a whole lot cheaper.

[@giers88]

well damn. now i want one. after paddling my arms off trolling in a kayak i'd be game for the trolling motor xD or even a pedal drive.

[@fireantfishing]

Nice rig man. Spot lock looks like it changes the kayak game

[@SBFishing]

[@rhodesianhunter9360]

If you should buy a graph just for the kayak, make sure it’s networkable. The automation between graph and motor would be amazing for you on the kayak. Push button go to a saved spot assuming the trolling motor is also an ipilot link

[@SBFishing]

Not sure if it will work but I’m gonna try it with the solix

[@terryholt1832]

Once a kayak gets too complicated, you should just go Jon boat. Kayak is for sneaking out and getting lucky.

[@greggd6833]

gotta take it out for musky on the shenny. With the electric motor, running up and down deep pools would be nice. Only caught one out of a kayak, but I can say it is an unbelievable rush

[@SBFishing]

DUUUUUDE! You're totally right. I haven't been back to the spot I caught my first musky in years.

[@Notorious_Nate]

Awesome video. I've been looking forward to seeing you get that thing out on the water. One bit of advice.. while standing, get in the habit of using your lure and rod tip to perform minor boat positioning adjustments. Especially effective if using a lure with lots of drag, like a spinnerbait. You can turn your yak and move it around pretty effectively without having to grab the paddle, or in your case, bump the trolling motor.

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Nice kayak, Matt. Take it and do some muskie fishing with Blue Ridge muskie. Let a big one pull you around the river. I'd fall out of a kayak. Klutz is my middle name. They sure look like fun though.

[@rodconner9079]

That, Matt, was awesome and a great review/initial evaluation!!! Personal opinion -- anytime you can go bigger, esp on a kayak --- do it ... IF it's for you! --- Now for me, it's not!!! But I can definitely see the benefit -- as so many things you pointed out. Most area's locally, are accessible by jon-boat; meaning larger rivers, water ways, and lakes ....... but, when you migrate out and get more "country" (example --- central WV)... some rivers and water ways are smaller and at low flows, a jon-boat still only allows to fish an eddy due to low-flow shoals. One person can have a tough time with a boat vs a kayak. Also, many of these "waters" are limited "put in" and may not have a ramp. Great input my friend --- keep with it!!!! Be Safe

[@42588panda]

Yeah the motor has tobe down

[@stephenkapushoc3201]

What is the trolley you're using for portage?

[@SBFishing]

Not sure, it was my dads but he built a trailer for his SUP 👍🏼

[@enjoy9772]

That whole loading process is why I never use my kayaks. You think, "Oh, this will be much easier than trailering and dropping a boat down the ramp", but it's not. You have to lug them around, get special wheels and deal with straps, or drag it around and scratch it up. Then you have to spend 10 minutes loading everything in and then 10 min taking everything back out when done. That combined with the lack of space, needing a paddle, and stability issues, I don't see why someone would choose a kayak over a jon boat (for fishing) considering kayaks cost a good bit more. I ran an 8' jon boat and it took 1/4 the time to load and unload from truck. Could leave all my gear in it during transport too. Had more space, was more stable, and overall seemed to track better. Had the smart idea to buy two Jackson kayaks so the wife and I could check out small lakes and inshore stuff. Now I'm looking to get back into a jon boat.

[@SBFishing]

I forgot to touch on this and I agree. It’s definitely a pain in the ass, but I timed myself at the end of the day and from the second I got to the ramp to leaving was 15 mins. Takes me about the same w the Jon boat, but much less work.

[@enjoy9772]

@@SBFishing Seeing you lug the kayak into the van, then out, and then setting up the wheels brought back nightmares. I find kayaking for sightseeing fun, but just doesn't work for my fishing.

[@punkinfingerz7439]

Agree with this...however I will say it makes you revamp a lot of things when it comes to picking tackle/gear, since I've started fishing kayak tourneys I sort of forced myself to downsize/streamline. At first you'd think it'd limit you but I found that it removes a lot of clutter and fuss with decision making. What I found is, when practicing or "just fishing" having the smaller selection actually helps you learn with what you're using rather than having a ton of baits you think might work but maybe not blah blah, increasing the odds of making the wrong decision. (it's kinda like going out with only an MTB box) In turn you have a smaller arsenal but a better, more confident idea of what you want tied on for tourney day (or whenever). Making you a better angler and also making launching quicker and easier, I car-top a Predator 13 on a Nissan Sentra btw haha...just my experience.

[@battlefieldbassin]

The problem is these suped up kayaks kinda defeat the purpose of kayaks. They're too heavy to carry, the rudder limits your access to skinnier water, and they're no longer a cheaper alternative to actual boats

[@TheFishingMommy]

Well, there are a lot of loading/unloading/gearing up tricks you can learn if you actually try. Also this whole motorized thing he’s got isn’t really even a kayak anymore, in my opinion. If I felt like I *needed* a trolling motor, I agree that I’d just stick to a Jon boat.

[@follansb]

Hey man, great vid. I’m waiting for my autopilot to be delivered and have been battery shopping. I was curious which Dakota lithium battery you used? Seemed like the 12V 100 AH battery wouldn’t fit in the battery box that comes with the kayak. Thanks!

As a kayak angler, I loved it forit for the stealth aspect of it. Secondly I loved the rapidness of deployment. I could in the water and fishing in 1 min or less. Over the years my age prevented me from enjoying it like I once did. The last 2 months I've bought a 12ft jon boat. I was hesitant, but I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The only way I would go back is the comfort part. Just how comfortable after a 2-3hr trip would I be? What was YOUR experience comfort wise?
