River Fishing In My New Old Town Sportsman PDL 106

[@Fishing_with_Domingo]

Awesome day out on the kayak! Some awesome fishing! Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventure out fishing 🎣 💯👍🏼

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Domingo!!

[@willpierce8686]

Hey...Thanks for the informal teaching on how to clean out the prop tangled in fishing line. I honestly like the videos of real life fishing of losing gear and the uncommon breaking of the paddle. Some days fishing can be frustrating but it all adds to the fun. Always enjoy your contagious enthusiasm for fishing! Looking forward to your reviews on the Old Town PDL106.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Will! I like to keep my videos as genuine as possible for that very reason lol stuff happens

[@ronsolbergfishing]

Enjoyed your video. Can't believe you were able to spot the lock washer. I carry a spare prop cotter key and nut just in case of emergency. I've broken a prop on a log one time. I have a 106 too.

[@FishAnything]

I hope I never break a prop lmao that sounds terrible.

[@Krozin]

Just gotta say man, so glad to have found your channel. I was able to get an UL rod setup and got some mule fishing tackle and I had a blast. Not only did I enjoy casting the setup more than anything...I had so much fun catching a ton more fish, proving you don't need more than UL for catch anything from a tiny bluegill to a 20" pike on the same spinner!" Sorry that you had to deal with the braid and the drive!

[@FishAnything]

So happy to hear it! Keep up the good work 🤠👏🏼

[@f1ng3r.l3ss9]

Miss these river videos they are always so cool

[@FishAnything]

Hope to do more next year!

[@BruceTurtle]

Thanks for my order,it safely got all the way to Holland and quickly as well,cheers.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks so much!!

[@brianathern9154]

Well dang buddy that was a character builder. Snags, dinks, jacked up pedal drive then broke the paddle getting out. Oof. I feel for you with the topwater misses, that was a good portion of my Saturday trip. Good that you found and recovered the star washer for your pedal drive. It keeps the plastic nut from backing out...River did look good it just hit you too hard

[@FishAnything]

It was a bit of a struggle!! That’s the river - it will humble you.

[@devondadude420]

Hey man great content. Love to see your collaboration with the other guys.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Devon!

[@waynewurst3487]

It is nice to see the dink master is mastering the river

[@FishAnything]

😂😂

[@Cornelius798]

Love your videos, thanks 👍👊

[@FishAnything]

Thank you!!

[@chipseiler1766]

At least you can't blame me for jinxing your paddle or your sunglasses. Whew! 😇😇 ...I had a day this week where everything seemed to be going wrong as well. Then today, I lost a jig on an underwater snag. It took me about 10 minutes to get a leader retied and put a replacement jig on. I was trying to cast to the right of the snag on my first cast with the retied jig, my line didn't release off of my finger as planned. It kind of got stuck as it does to me every once in awhile, and don't you know, it went a few feet further to the left and bam! Same under water piece of structure got THAT jig. First cast after the retie! At least the wind had died down a bit and I got my new leader and new jig on pretty quickly that time. I just had to laugh out loud at my misfortune. I think I even said "that's fishing" out loud. ...but... I caught more fish today than any other single day in the past several months. Maybe Fall fishing has finally reached me here in NC! Enjoyed the video. Did you replace the Dobyn's yet? I had mine with me today but I used my new 6' 2" Olympic Bellezza SUL most of the day. I never thought I'd be using 2.3 lb. anything for line, never mind "Ester". I had never even heard of Ester line until about 3 months ago. Definitely a challenge to manage, and in the wind like I had today... not for the inexperienced angler, that's for sure. You think wind knots with mono are a pain... Ester is way worse! ...but today I didn't have to cut off any line! Anyway... I'm loving the new rod and Vanford reel combo. Absolutely the most fun / enjoyable fishing experience I've ever had as far as the gear is concerned. I smile every time I feel a "tic" and even more so when the rod loads and I get to play a fish. I may be getting a second one for Christmas! ...I ramble. Thanks for sharing! By the way... that skip at 2:11 was awesome! Skip of the century INDEED!

[@FishAnything]

Haha “that’s fishing” is about all you can say in these situations! I want to keep playing with Ester to figure out how much I like it.

[@chipseiler1766]

@@FishAnything Recently I tried some "reel snot" I used to use on mono. It drastically changed the manageability. Varivas has some line conditioner I'm going to check out.

[@JimHickeyFishing]

Looks like it was a frustratingly fun river trip. The 106 looks interesting but I can atest the Nucanoe U10 is a fantastic fishing platform (I've been fishing from one since August)!

[@FishAnything]

Those Nucanoes look really nice! I like pedal drive too much but I could see that being a really fun setup.

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great video

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Ray!

[@johnrigdon7682]

Caught a bass today on a bronco blade. Mule fishing FTW

[@FishAnything]

Thanks John! Happy to hear it!

[@danspanos]

Good to see you catch something on that Dark Sleeper. I have one, but still haven't used it yet. Untipically slow day for you, but still fun none the less! I still don't get how that braid got so tangled around the drive. You weren't even using it!

[@FishAnything]

It was a weird day! Not sure how I feel about the Dark Sleeper… it kept rolling over and snagging which I was annoyed with - supposed to be weedless.

[@poimendave9536]

I’ve really noticed that the River is really low with the lack of rain this fall. I think the further North you go would be better fishing on the Grand. Godbless ya Ethan

[@FishAnything]

Yeah I can’t believe I really did like no river fishing this year

[@TUFFBASS]

have had my sportsman 120 pdl for awhile and definitely think i am downsizing. 12 foot is too much work!

[@FishAnything]

Hope you find the perfect boat for your needs!

[@austinhall485]

2:08 that was absolutely disgusting 😂 that deserved a river monster

[@FishAnything]

😂😂😂

[@bsc9399]

Good video taking me out yak tomorrow I hope to catch some dinks lol. What fish finder you have on your yak?

[@FishAnything]

It’s a Lowrance Hook of some type - it’s actually a used graph which is new to me so I can’t recall off the top of my head.

[@bsc9399]

Yeah I got a hook2 gave to me and have not got it set up on yak

[@jasonledford8560]

Yo, you should try the Amundson Savvy Rider Backpacker combo, it’s a 4 piece rod, thought you would like it

[@FishAnything]

Interesting! I’ll look it up!

[@jasonledford8560]

Tell me if you get it or not

[@MackWhite-d6s]

have you tried an ACC crappie stix? great rods. thanks for this video

[@FishAnything]

I’ve heard good things but still haven’t held one!

[@steinerp]

You skipped over the good part of the river (west of town). Was interested in seeing how you did on that stretch. I haven't gone that direction this year, but I usually only get a couple per trip, not as tiny but not big either). Water being low probably didnt help either

[@FishAnything]

Live and you learn haha it was a totally blind trip for me

[@backyardslingshots5631]

I’m pretty sure I watch the series in full, but I can’t remember, did you ever catch the 20” river bronze?

[@FishAnything]

I haven’t yet and I never got a chance to pick it back up! Hopefully next year!

[@backyardslingshots5631]

@ I hope you do, and I hope you land one.

[@mbB-nd7iv]

Should have tried some mule fishing gear those never let you down

[@FishAnything]

Lol true! The Jack Worm was working well enough until I screwed up my spinning reel.

[@Bassmaster12234]

what rod is that

[@Krozin]

looks like a g loomis of some kind

[@FishAnything]

An old discontinued G Loomis GL2 Mag Light Drop Shot Rod.

[@waynewurst3487]

You could make a fish attratant called dink master attractant

[@FishAnything]

Might just have to 🤣
