Moo you have got to have the best paddling form EVER!!!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

😂🤣 not even close but I've been working on it.

[@Garcia_Familia_Adventures]

I notice you had your NRS wet suit on for bass fishing, but do you fish with them in for all fishing(year round), or is it because of the cold we’re having? Don’t you get hot in it?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Not all year around. Only water temp is cold. I dress for immersion all year round.

[@Garcia_Familia_Adventures]

@@MooMooOutdoors ok. 😅👌🏼 just curious. What do you wear when warmer temps? I use NRS kayak fishing bibs, but I get hot. 😆

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Like warmer fresh water? Any non-cotton to accommodate the air temp.

[@GoTrails]

Nice info, thanks for posting! Thumbs up

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks

[@SpicyAngler]

I can relate to what you demonstrated in your video. before the Pescador Pilot I had Ocean Kayak Prowler 4.7 and same type of hutch (just holder). I have firstly done the wiring as you but a guy told me it is pressing too much on it and I have listened and drilled a hole to pass it through. Maybe I should have told you once I saw your ff installation video. Anyhow, would you find a new power cable for the ff?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I'm going to try to cut off the damaged section, if I can locate, and splice the wire. Yea, they are about $20.

[@SpicyAngler]

@@MooMooOutdoors so they cheap enough to get new one...

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I'm poor $20 ain't cheap 😂🤣. Yeah, they are not too bad.

[@WesLovelace]

Your trip reminds me that being a fair weather fisherman has it's advantages even if the bite isn't all that great.....Now when it comes to installs I've got hole saws and drill bits that take care of the pass throughs and I love to drill holes....LOL!! I know they make grommets and caps for about any size hole!!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I like drilling holes too on other people's kayak but not mine 😂🤣

[@familyfishkiller1062]

Thanks Really great

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks

[@maldrury8313]

Yeah you need a backrest. I also have a thin closed cell foam seat cushion I purchased from Viking Kayaks. It doesn't hold water and just gives you that bit of comfort. Maybe it's the new paddle but your paddling technique looks much better.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thank you for noticing 😁. I've been working on it. I still have a long way to go but it feels like I'm getting hang of the basics.

[@maldrury8313]

@@MooMooOutdoors You are getting a a more vertical angle on your catch and using core instead of the arms. Wing paddle is designed to move away from the Yak as you progress through the stroke - this seems to be easier with your new paddle. ( I am looking at buying a surfski so I have also been trying to improve my paddling technique too)

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yes, "moving away" became more natural with the wing paddle. I want to try surf ski one day too.

[@craigwheaton2506]

Hey mate, i have exactly same kayak, and colour..i put a pool noddle up the fish hatch to stop everything from sliding to far forwards

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I thought about this too. Does it not interfere with rod storage?

[@craigwheaton2506]

@@MooMooOutdoors the noodle is only approx 50mm round tbh i dont put my rods in not the hatch, not so much surf here but they would happly go over the noodle help keep them of the bottom if anything

[@spiltmilt]

Did you end up going with the spring loaded rudder on this?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

No. Original rudder has been working very well for me.

[@ktulu310]

Are you still placing your nocqua battery off by where the pedal is or did you install that through the hull kit you mentioned? You convinced me to get a fusion and I finally have it 😀

[@MooMooOutdoors]

OMG! That's awesome. No through the hull wiring yet. I really don't want to drill 1 inch hole LOL.

[@NorCalFishermen]

keep tryin for the dino moo! its comin!!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I hope so

[@JUNationFishing]

We had great success early on with Dinos and got spoiled. Last two trips combine of roughly 18 hours of fishing for me with no dinos. Now, it’s getting real. Ahahaha.... Back to the drawing board. 👍🙏🎣⚒

[@MobyLife]

Great review, thanks!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Thanks Moby

[@Song-mf6cq]

Really great tip, thanks Moo! Btw, did you splice the Nocqua’s cable instead of using the connecting cap? No issues?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I still have the connector coming from the battery.

[@douglaswalker8563]

The Garmin fishfinders come with a cover for the cables where they pass through a bulkhead. I am going to run the cables through a hole on my Fusion 480 after watching this. You are paddling much better with that Bending Branches paddle than with the wing. I have one, and it is a great paddle. The Stealth boats are really at their best in the ocean. I have been fishing around Neah Bay, WA on my Fusion, and it has been great. No problem with waves, wind, or current. I ordered a Skwoosh expedition seat, because I need to be able to rest my thigh muscles. That seems to be the most tired place after a fishing trip.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

I love this Navigator paddle. I just got a little better at paddling.

[@Jake-ky9ed]

It is a core workout! I got the stick on butt pad and the deluxe style rest? Haven't tried that yet but find the seat pretty comfy so haven't felt the need. Cool stuff Moo!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

😂😂 Thanks

[@kenpak6014]

That box stand is so sturdy!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Surprisingly it is 😁

[@owenphillips9166]

Moo, cheers for the video. In your Striker 4 box there should be a plastic cable guide for covering a hole-entry, Brett shows it in his second video on fitting a fish finder to a Fusion. Great to know that the hatch lid cinches down so tightly!

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yes I saw the video. I think I prefer Through Haul Wiring Kit for more water tight seal.

[@owenphillips9166]

@@MooMooOutdoors I'll be installing one on my Fusion next week. My plan is to copy what Brett did and then squirt some Sikaflex in around the access hole to keep the water out.

[@Y-N0t]

Hey Moo. I flipped my yak two years ago and lost my fishfinder so I bought a new one. Have new extra wires for the Garmin still in the box if you want it. I think you're in Sac area right?

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Wow, thank you very much for the offer. I think you should keep it as a back up because they don't last forever.

[@Y-N0t]

@@MooMooOutdoors well, it's been 2 yrs and it's still there! Lol! Let me know. Also, this will give me an excuse to buy a new one when I get my boat! 😄👍

[@rainzer0]

U can try cutting off the bad section of the wire and splice it together. I shorten my lowrance fishfinder that way

[@MooMooOutdoors]

Yes. That's what I was thinking. The cable is too long anyways.

[@rainzer0]

@@MooMooOutdoors just make sure u got lots of shrink wraps. They shrink and seal really well. Try cutting the individual wires different lengths so the joints aren't next to each other.

[@MooMooOutdoors]

@@rainzer0 copy that. I use waterproof connectors and double or sometimes triple shrink wrap them.

[@martymonsterfishing]

Hey Moo, if you can, try installing a quick (one-handed) bungee clip of some kind to your stealth hatch and use those heavy duty stealth hatch lock down clips when going through surf. In my opinion they're not needed and a bit of a pain to undo/redo when you're out on the water. Using a simple bungee clip tie down won't damage your sounder cable like the heavy duty straps will 👍 you can see the bungee I've got on mine in this video I made of my setup. For me, everything goes inside my hatch when navigating the surf zone so my set up is fully removable without any holes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZa7pnyFmZdjjq8

Hey Marty, I actually watched your video before and thinking of doing what you did or something similar. I am having a hard time finding the "button" and the device you anchored the bungee cord.

First of all, I wear surgical mask near my friends to keep them safe because I deal with covid19 patients everyday while wearing n95 and other ppe to keep me safe. Maybe I was near my friend seconds ago exchanging lures and simply didn't pull the mask down right away. Maybe I was wearing it for uv protection because I forgot faceshield 😂🤣.
