Testing My New Fishing Paddle Board!

[@kirkgeno6077]

Paddleboard fishing is my jam!! Nothing like fighting a fish whilst trying to maintain your balance on the board. Even better when you have people walking by that get to witness your feat of awesomeness!

[@FishAnything]

Hahaha your feat of awesomeness. Honestly I have been on this thing a handful of times now and I love it more each trip. Fun rig!

[@timg9404]

The leash is for your ankle. And it is called a skeg (the fin). I have been eyeing one of these! Glad to see a review coming from a trusted source!

[@FishAnything]

Yeah... I am a dumby lol

[@RamonOutdoors]

I dig this. I have a few spots this would be perfect for. Not enough room to dump a kayak in, but would benefit from getting off the bank.

[@FishAnything]

Definitely a super fun rig. I feel like it is worthwhile for folks who like to throw and go, but also for folks who simply like water recreation in general. I have had just as much fun using this as a paddle board as I have a fishing platform.

[@AGuyNamedRicky]

I love paddleboard fishing! Great for the grab n go mentality. Welcome a-board! I’ve got a few iSUP fishing trips under my belt feel free to ping me any Q’s

[@FishAnything]

Honestly this is so much fun. Would love to see your rig. Feel free to send me a DM on instagram if you have one. Would love to chat SUP fishing!

[@fishingwithvin]

I’ve always wondered about paddle board’s and seeing you in different position’s makes me think it must be pretty stable! Nice!

[@FishAnything]

They are freaking awesome. I have been having fun on this thing :)

[@ryanokuda]

I'm really excited for this series! The girlfriend wants an inflatable paddle board and I enjoy fishing, so it's a perfect match!

[@FishAnything]

Honestly that sounds like a great excuse haha. This rig is totally fun for standard paddle boarding too. You might look into it!

[@mattbrown5511]

Looking forward to the next 2 videos. Seems like a good entry level platform so far.

[@FishAnything]

More to come! Definitely a really cool rig

[@josephwatts8147]

I’m a fan of the electric pump. I have one that I can set the pressure and it auto shuts off. I can just plug it into the car and pump on sight

[@FishAnything]

Yeah, I may upgrade to an electric pump someday. That being said, this only takes about 10 minutes to pump up / deflate so it isn't too bad.

[@RoamingWhispers]

I’ve been debating on an inflatable paddle board or a folding kayak because I don’t really have a place to store a regular kayak. That thing looks awesome, and I can’t wait for the next few videos!

[@FishAnything]

Personally, I would go with a SUP over a folding kayak. I have never tried the folding kayak but I have watched several videos and seen them in person and they look very unstable / not suited for fishing. Just my opinion! The SUP gives you a tremendous amount of customization options and it is super comfortable for simple fishing trips too.

[@RoamingWhispers]

@@FishAnything I really appreciate that suggestion, and from your videos I can tell this is actually made for an angler. I’d also like the cooler as an option too!!

[@leoveroude4492]

You make that look easy 😅.

[@FishAnything]

If I can do it, most people can. I am a tall goober with limited balance.

[@leoveroude4492]

😅You just described me. That is a great testimonial!

[@buckeye830]

The dad in me wants to tell you how nice your lawn is. Paddle board looks good too.

[@FishAnything]

Lol the dad in you is right... But it ain't my lawn XD

[@FishAnything]

Definitely a fun rig!

[@bassofffishingtv3766]

I was doing some research and ran into your channel love the content

[@FishAnything]

Thank you so much! Happy you like it :)

[@davidkaufman7979]

Kinda cool

[@FishAnything]

I love this thing!

[@cuttlefishpie3731]

Just add an anchor to negate the wind or currents. I use a 5lb weight lifting weight with paracord, works a charm

[@FishAnything]

I might have to do that. Honestly I love how simple the rig is. Probably won't ever rig it too extensively but a small anchor may make sense.

[@pauls3616]

That looks cool. I am sure you could put a chair on it and then stand and sit as you need to. If you hook into a decent size pike, it could get you going about 5 or 6 mph kind of like a free torqeedo. Looks super fun. I have been looking at the NRS inflatable kayak. Something lightweight and easily stored. I wonder about the wind pushing me all over though. Thanks for the video on the new and improved channel. 👍

[@FishAnything]

Thank you Paul! Definitely going to be a fun piece of equipment. I don't think I will rig it out too much - I like the simplicity as it is. I am still pretty reluctant to try an inflatable kayak at this point due to the keel design. That being said, I would definitely love to get one so I could bring some information/opinions to the channel. Never say never.

[@samuelwarden6285]

Wow that thing is cool. It looked really stable and its sooo lightweight compared to kayaks. I would definitely have to have some kind of seat with back support though. My knees would be killing me after sitting like that. 👊👍

[@FishAnything]

Haha yeah that is totally fair. I probably need to start doing yoga so I can increase my flexibility and fish on this thing for long periods of time! I think a little cooler strapped down will be the play someday.

[@InTheWoodsToday]

This looks like a blast

[@FishAnything]

It is fun! We need to get together and you can try it out this coming year. Probably on the way out of SUP season now that it is cooling off.

[@InTheWoodsToday]

Only if you laugh at me when i fall haha

[@The_Next_Cast]

Fun and challenging experience! May have to try that one day!

[@FishAnything]

Not as challenging as I expected! Super fun little rig :)

[@steveadams2859]

Thanks for great review! This board is on my short list, looks like you could use cooler or Larry camp chair as well to sit on. Bixby makes a skeg /Fin Motor mount to use on paddle boards to power them. Would love to see that in future videos!

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Steve! It’s been a good board for me and the price has come down quite a bit.

[@InTheWoodsToday]

Have them send me one too buddy lol! Nice video and it looks really fun!

[@FishAnything]

Lol hopefully they feel good about their decision sending me one after I used the ankle leash on my paddle XD

[@InTheWoodsToday]

I would have used it on my rod lol, and pretend thats what thats for haha.

[@RicardoReview]

The SUP seems solid, now you can do Instagram photoshots :D

[@FishAnything]

Lol is that a thing?

[@RicardoReview]

@@FishAnything Depends on the target demographic 🤣

[@austinhall485]

Just tip those valves turn and lock and the cover is just to protect from accidently deflating it, push and turn the valve spring half a turn and it should pop put and lock all the air in

[@FishAnything]

Yep, I goofed up! I made a few stupid mistakes in this video lol

[@austinhall485]

@@FishAnything hey ain't no such thing just leaving curves lol took me a few trips to realize they do that too

[@k62g58]

If I was a younger man...but I'm not. Pretty impressive. Certainly provides greater opportunities for getting out on the water given the ease (?) of setup and take down (?).

[@FishAnything]

It took about 10 minutes to inflate and deflate, so overall I would say it is pretty quick! Definitely a fun rig for those looking to be close to the water.

[@Henry-xh8ec]

Looks pretty interesting. Definitely looks like fun though.

[@FishAnything]

It is both fun and interesting :)

[@OGAmmoMonkey]

The paddleboard is awesome. Makes me want to get one and slap all the gizmos on. Does your fish finder on your yak have side imaging? What model did you get?

[@FishAnything]

I still have my old fish finder (Lowrance Hook2 5X). And I don't think I will slap too many gizmos on this rig. I think it is better suited for simple fishing trips with lesser gear. It has the capacity, but it cuts down on speed/comfort to add a bunch of stuff.

[@OGAmmoMonkey]

@@FishAnything I think someone else mentioned like the Airhead Sup Training Wheels. Seems like a good minimalist way to increase the stability for fishing from any position on the fly. I noticed sometimes during your fights you have to switch the direction of the fights because the fish start spinning you around.

[@BrianKuhl]

I’m guessing wind will be a serious challenge but it looks like an awesome way to tackle ponds instead of sticking to the shore.

[@FishAnything]

Totally agree. Wind will not be too fun for this rig, but to be fair, it isn't much fun for standard paddle kayaks either. Great little setup all in all!

[@theloneangler3320]

It's fun as heck. I do all the time here in S. Florida for peacock bass and other exotic species ...fun fun fun 👍✝️♥️🎣🏹🛶🇺🇸

[@FishAnything]

Oh man that would be a blast! I would freak out if I saw gators though lol

[@charlesforest5323]

I'd spend so much time in the water on one of these 🤣.

[@FishAnything]

That can be part of the fun :)

[@kylebarrons8219]

I’d be so afraid to tip over that thing if the cooler was on there. I’d definitely want to make sure everything floats in case that does happen🤣

[@FishAnything]

Yeah I don't think I will ever go overboard on how much gear I bring for that reason. That being said, this is more stable than most kayaks so I can't say I ever felt nervous. When I try to rush something or start getting too cocky, that is when I wobble a bit haha

[@FishinMichigan1]

That thing is so cool! I’m kinda surprised how stable it is lol. I have been on 10 foot Jon boats that you can’t stand up in 😂.I bet you’ll slay some absolute donkeys on it!

[@FishAnything]

Haha heck yeah man! I hope I do :)

Had to take a second scroll past to notice this in my feed kinda just blended in lol

[@FishAnything]

Oh really?! Could you help me understand why you think that was? Could be helpful for me when I design thumbnails.

[@austinhall485]

@@FishAnything honestly as much as I hate the style of thumbnails of channels like googan they definitely do draw the attention (could be a good or bad thing) I think everybody is just so accustomed to big bright thumbnails that they'll just scroll by a basic picture, I think the thumbnails you did with the online outdoorsman name were great but I understand you trying to differ fish anything from the other name, wouldn't change a thing you're doing keep it up

[@FishAnything]

@@austinhall485 Thank you! I should probably add some kind of bright arrow or something to pop this photo a bit. I will continue to use the same thumbnail strategy as I did before. I appreciate your help!

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Seemed really rigid, does the seat sit flat on top of it or is it raised up? Glad you got some! Now to see how long it holds air?

[@FishAnything]

That is a foam pad on top. The little lines are pretty unnoticeable and I assume that is for water to drain off. It is incredibly comfortable! And the seat just straps down but I can't quite figure it out. Feels a bit cheap so I think a cooler being strapped to the tie-downs would be the way to go. Add a little cushion if you'd like. And it has been inflated in my garage for a while and has zero deflation. I think it will be totally solid!

[@andrewchavez4334]

@fishanything make a video of your ULW tackle box 👍 or create your own for your company 🙏

[@FishAnything]

I plan to at some point, thanks for the feedback. And I want to make a Mule tackle storage option someday. Just takes time :)

[@chillfish702]

What size hook you got on that drop shot?

[@FishAnything]

I believe this was a size 10? Tiny little thing!

[@milosgrujic9118]

Is it possible to install that rod holder on a board which doesnt have it naturaly?

[@FishAnything]

If the board comes with some form of mounting bracket, yes. Otherwise you may need to get creative and utilize straps to fasten something down.

[@madisondad6070]

Great video. I would be curious as to how it fishes if you were sitting on a cooler. How are you rigging that donkey tail junior on a drop shot?

[@RoamingWhispers]

Not sure if you follow him on Instagram, but he has a close up picture of it on there.

[@madisondad6070]

@@RoamingWhispers thanks!

[@FishAnything]

I rigged the Donkey Tail Jr on a tiny little mosquito hook. I simply nose hooked it on the head portion. I will try to fish on this off of a cooler whenever I find a cooler I like. All of mine are too big or not flat on top - might have to purge them and scoop a new one.

[@michaelkolacz4449]

It's certainly provides anglers a choice but for the money the kayak seems to be the way to go. More gear can be taken in the kayak plus the kayak provides greater stability on bigger water. As I said it's a choice but it wouldn't be worth $800 to me.

[@FishAnything]

I agree that a kayak is a better fishing platform for the price. The reason I think this is cool is that not everyone has space or transportation abilities for a kayak. This packs down so small!

[@kenappleby8481]

Really neat. CRAZY expensive! That'll keep me from ever trying something like that for that purpose. It did look pretty solid. Still getting used to the new name but digging it! Also, you still have Online Outdoorsman as your banner, FYI. Great video and looking for two the next two!

[@FishAnything]

I will leave that banner up for a little while to slow-phase the name in :) Not cheap, but I think it should last a long time. Definitely a cool rig!

[@mackjenkins7721]

Man that is a nice Paddle board you got man. A lil bit of work to put together but not bad at all. #1. Question though? How do the boards feel on your feet 🦶? Do the boards get hot on your feet 🦶 & is there enough space for someone with big feet 🦶 & wide feet 🦶? Good video buddy thanks you for sharing it.

[@FishAnything]

The board is super comfortable on the feet. Because it is wet, it never got too hot. I see no challenges for people with big or wide feet. It is 3 feet wide.

[@DMllr66]

Thing has a 500pound weight capacity thats awesome

[@micahspilker9322]

Never read instructions, be a man. I think most of us like to just look at the parts and hope for the best. I’ve considered picking up a paddle board but I think our wind around here would be less than ideal. Looks like it will be a good craft for some light weight missions.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah, if you have consistent wind, I don't think a SUP is a great option. Nor is a paddle kayak to be fair. I needed the instructions after being dumb on a lot of simple tasks haha

[@poimendave9536]

Where is your floatation device? Never assume you won’t flip or can swim your way to safety.

[@FishAnything]

Thank you Dave. Good point - my apologies for not setting a good example. No excuses! This is a very small lake where I am never far from shore or someone's backyard. It is extremely shallow and no gas motors are allowed on it. While I shouldn't post videos without a PFD, this is one area I feel 100% safe without one due to my experience/skill on the water and limited external factors which could impact me. Again, no excuses, but just a little context for you and anyone else who may be reading this.
