Lifetime Tamarack Angler Kayak Review & Modification

[@lordmarshall5239]

I just got interested in this sport and I’ve been watching hours of videos. These mods are the best I’ve seen. That entire crate system is fantastic. I’m interested in this kayak and another model and no matter what I get I’m rewatching this video and trying out these mods. Seriously cool ideas

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thanks man. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach back out!

[@lordmarshall5239]

Michigan AmBush Outdoors thanks we’ll see how it goes this summer but this video is downloaded and I’ll be all over it come show time. Right now I still have more snowmobile winter camping to do 😊❤️🇺🇸❄️☃️🛷⛺️

[@aregularguy2662]

crate tip...on the crate you cut the bottom off of; cut the top off as well, zip tie to bottom of your tackle crate, and put over the hatch cover. Now you have a level spot for your crate. I have this kayak and that drove me crazy. Thanks for the content!

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

That’s a solid idea man. Thanks for sharing!

[@dr.froghopper6711]

Uummm about pissing, I fight multiple sclerosis and I have to pee about every 15-20 minutes. I learned long ago that I need to take a bottle to piss in. I find that laundry detergent bottles work well. Big holes to aim at, if you pull the inner spout out. They float, have reusable lids and generally have a handle to tie a leash to. I like the way you did your box! Good job!

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thank you! I will give this a try. Beats going back to shore each time I need to piss.

[@robreid3521]

Great! My son and I have the same yak, used last year and it is very stable. We are definitely adding the stadium seat, the stock seat is rough!!

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

The seat was my first upgrade. I can fish all day and stay comfortable. A must add. Thanks for watching!

Dude? The pro tip of the video? The issue with taking a leak! Love the content, and thanks for putting in the effort to educate this NOVICE kayak fisherman! Had a question... Which seat did you use size wise? I went to the Amazon link...very helpful btw! They offer a 17 inch and a 20 inch. I wanted to make SURE I bought the one you used, to ensure it would fit properly! If you could lemme know, that would be awesome! 🎣. Tight lines bro! 👍

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thank you! I went with the 17in. It fits perfectly and it a must adder. Fish all day without any pain 👊🏼

[@84CORVETTEBILL]

Michigan AmBush Outdoors Thanks so very much for the reply! Just placed an order for the 17 inch! I shared your channel, with a link on Facebook! Great content! Tight lines! 👍

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thank you! I greatly appreciate the support man.

[@mre4875]

Really like how you secured the milk crate to the yak. I'm about done fighting with the bungee to secure my crate. If you half a pool noodle and zip tie em to the bottom of the crate, it really reduces the rocking caused by the crate sitting on the hatch cover. I also put a strip of gorilla tape over the crate name. Just in case I'm on a lake and chance encounter the CEO of Deans Foods. LOL. Love the trash can idea, gonna steal that idea! I just secure my stadium seat to the hook point already provided behind the seat. Also enjoy my Tamarack but have to disagree with you about the tracking, I think the tracking sux but it is a $200 kayak. Great video man.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the tips man. I will have to try the pool noodle idea out. Good luck out there and thanks for stopping by the channel! 👊🏼

[@dr.froghopper6711]

You probably know this by now but some pontoon outriggers are easily built. They add stability and, depending on the style you build, not only add floatation but can double as a trolling motor mount.

Can you find it online direct from Lifetime? If not the ascend looks like a solid choice but I think it has a higher price tag.

[@mikemason4792]

Use a wind chute to counter the wind. Pee!!! Yes it happens in your boat. I went to the drug store and bought a urinal like men use in the hospital. It works great. Good video. Good review of your mods. Honestly my $200 tamarack is as good as my $900 boat for basic fishing. My Pescador is better for bigger water and my electronics. I use both boats depending on where I'm fishing.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thank you. I will prob pick one up and toss it in the fishing crate for emergencies. Overall, this is a great boat for the money.

[@jimwalker5518]

I live in Iowa, I just picked up my Tamarack 100 fishing kayak today. Looking forward to getting out on the water with it this weekend. Can you drive on the interstate with these on the roof of your SUV like 70-75 mph? When I tied it to my Outback today to drive home, it was in town driving, but I was nervous for fear of not having the straps on right and it falling off. Glad you gave tips about an anchor, that thought has crossed my mind.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

I have a roof mounted kayak holder for my SUV and I take it down the freeway. Just make sure it’s tied down properly and you should have any issues. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@DarrenHackney-i2v]

Good review! Between the Teton and the Tamarack which do you think is best for fishing on small bodies of water?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

I'm not 100% sure, as I've never tried the Teton, but the tamarack has done well in small lakes. If you are in the SE Michigan area, I'll be listing my Tamarack for sale soon. With a growing family, I need something for all of us.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Iv seen some people do a fish finder before. Iv personally never did one. As far as the GoPro, I just get a clamp mount and clamp it to the fishing rod holder. Works out well. Thanks for watching and the support. Good luck on your channel!

[@keithmahler4236]

I got one and took it out for the first time to the lake.with my old lady and she has a sit in got in some running water she was doing fine me not so much thought I was honestly gonna die lol water coming from the holes later plugged and stability was scary at best took my best to gain control back and paddle.like my life depended on it

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Iv never had an issues with stability even with the added seat.

[@keithmahler4236]

@Urbexx Jeremy yeah I'm about the same in weight I've taken it several times since than and I think the lake was just to flooded and running to fast bc in calm water It rides fairly well i would never stand up in it though

Excellent review. What size 'stadium seat' did you use? Amazon lists 17" and wide (extra wide).

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Get the 17”. The extra wide will be too big.

[@arathh19]

Great video! I have this same kayak and enjoy taking it out. I really liked your anchoring solution, very ingenious! One question though, how do you turn around to get into your tackle crate? Every time I've tried to turn and look back into my crate I rock the boat and worry of tipping over

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thank you. Very carefully. I don’t turn all the way around. I just reach my hand back there but I definitely had to get use to the tipping feeling.

[@ItsAdventureTime1]

Tip: If you use fishing line instead of a zip tie for the anchor break away it's much easier.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thanks for the tip man. I will definitely try that. Makes way more sense.

[@ItsAdventureTime1]

@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors We use that same technique when anchoring offshore in much larger offshore fishing boats in 100+ feet of water. We use the boat to break the anchor free and attach a huge float to the line. As you accelerate the float works its way back on the line and actually floats the anchor to the surface. Stop the boat and pull in the slack line :)

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thats a great idea. I never thought about that.

[@pacospete4299]

storage directly in front of the seat is poor design for fishing . i would much rather have that area flat and the storage moved forward several feet .

[@pacospete4299]

i agree with Duane Hoxie , excellent review !!!!

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@descalf]

Super, super, super...🙄

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@descalf]

@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors nah, not really.

[@AlvarosOutdoorAdventures]

Hey there, I'm new here and have a tamarack as well. Check out my video on my upgrades I made to that yak. I just subscribed to your channel.. I'm going to use your idea for the fishing crate, it makes a lot of sense to it.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Sorry for the late reply on this. I checked out the video. Great Job man!

[@papisanlove5537]

IM SICK I PAID $350 FOR MINE, OUCH

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Don't be. That's still a good deal.

[@crytpolane3449]

Keep a piss cup and drink it so you're not polluting the water...problem solved.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

😂

[@gimmeagig]

Buddy, that is a really great video. You have totally dialed this thing in. I just ordered a kayak and even though I don't fish I'll be looking at some of these modifications.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thank you. I’m glad you liked the video and found it helpful. What boat did you get?

[@ryanoleston7136]

I just picked one of these up over the weekend. I'm brand new to kayak fishing. Great review and mods! I just subbed.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

You won’t be disappointed! The seat upgrade is a must.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thanks for subscribing!

[@moonman4368]

DUDE !!! Super informative! Just got 2 of them tonight making a list now.... I think you saved me a year of aggravation!! I want to Thank You Sir =) I'm mounting Gun Racks on mine.... do you gun the boat?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video and that it helped. 👊🏼 I have not mounted a gun rack on mine. You will have to send me a picture of it when you get it completed!

[@petewhite85]

I'm 66 but I've been considering this. Great video review and mods.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

It’s a great boat. I highly recommend it for the money. Thanks for watching. Please remember to subscribe!

[@petewhite85]

Just did. Does the weight of the box on the back add to the stability?

[@petewhite85]

@Urbexx Jeremy Thanks for your response. I've been using mine for about two months and have found that a small three tiered Plano box velcroed to the front hatch cover is all I need. At my age it's harder to turn around to get anything in a crate. Keep a catchin!

[@zipzip8239]

sounds like ya need a piss bottle...a 32 oz gatorade bottle works good lol.

[@petewhite85]

This works better: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016U7E4FS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@wtfmanicanthaveaname]

As a trucker I approve this message. I use a 32oz monster can with widemouth and lid cause you can 1 hand it easy by pinching dents in the side with fore and middle finger and use thumb to keep it from forming a seal and creating a vacuum that sprays you with your own piss.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

[@Vinnytwotime]

Your flag is backward in your garage. Stars to the left bro.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thanks man. It’s been fixed since.

[@jcv5469]

vinny thehourshower that’s interesting. I’m 54 and have never heard that. Do you know the reason for having the stars on the left side?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Glad I wasn’t the only one.

[@zwiftrogue3938]

​@@jcv5469 When the flag is displayed on a wall the union is to be displayed on the flag's right or the observers left. This may not look correct as some of us have seen the flag displayed on top of coffins and the union is displayed on the flag's left. This is to have it over the persons left shoulder (heart). For further information I would recommend visiting www.cqql.net/flag.htm.

[@jcv5469]

Thanks for the info. After Mr. Trump is re elected it should hang straight again.

[@scottlytton5328]

Hi is this a good beginner boat? I'm old and after retirement I took up fishing and love it but now I wanna get out on top of the water in my lake and river. I've never had a kayak but I can't afford a john boat yet. I'm worried if my abdomen/back will ache from it being unstable. Does my question make sense?

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

This boat is good for the price but depending on your budget, you could get a better boat already decked out with more comfort. The Ascend 12T is a good boat that has a nice seat with a backrest. You can get them at bass pro.

[@morenoerik14]

I've really been looking into getting this kayak. Unfortunately at this time I've found them for $300-$380 new. But im the type of guy that loves to modify things and add cool features. So this video really helped give me a lot of cool things to do if I get one. Awesome video👍🏻👌🏼

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad the video helped! Make sure to check wal-Mart online. You should be able to find these on sale. If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing. We appreciate the support!

[@catfish6138]

Great, well thought out and practical mods! Thanks for sharing!

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

No problem. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@BAKERHUSKIE]

Thanks for the video. I just started kayak fishing and love it. Haven't had any luck, but I guess it is what it is. Will try another lake soon.

[@MichiganAmBushOutdoors]

You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video. I haven’t been out yet this year. I have a lot of house projects going on but I’m itching for it!
