Simple is good, great set-up. Thanks for the vid. I'm in the process of dialing in my Old Town PDL 120 now.

[@Saltstrong]

We're glad that you found the video helpful! 💪

[@wildcoastkayaks75]

Awesome setup!

[@fire3911]

Thanks, Tony! I just got started in kayak fishing and am acquiring gear as it's needed. Well said: take the minimum amount of gear in order that one might spend more time fishing rather than changing lures.

[@outdoorheretic8232]

I love the Hobies, really do, but gosh, for the money I'd buy a Carolina Skiff!

[@oldguyriders]

Nice set-up. Thanks for sharing.

[@thomasmaggio9599]

Thanks Tony for the walk through. Great job showing us what it takes to put together an effective and efficient set up. Keep the great vids coming! Love the Salt Strong team.

[@SRH420ful]

finally someone with sense one tackle container holds everything I need and I was a fishing guide for 25 years

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for watching!

[@wayfararout6258]

That paddle holder is awesome

[@hallettadventures]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@portaadonai]

Ill definetely use this as a guide to setup my first kayak in san diego.

[@shawnkiesel5349]

Sweet setup..

[@BCOutdoors95]

loved it proud salt strong insider and hobie outback owner

[@RichM0410]

What an absolute killer setup you have here my friend! I want the entire package. I’m a fisherman but lost boat in divorce so JUST started looking into kayak! This is just amazing! Than you for sharing! Maybe listed I haven’t looked but approx how much $?

[@johnsamothrakis4621]

Great helpful video , thanks Tony

[@tonyacevedo3149]

No problem!

[@mobn28]

I see you put pvc on your t. Bone. That’s a great idea. Also a pvc holder/stop in the bed? I load a pro angler 12. May need to change to an outback eventually. To hard to paddle this tank. Great vid as always. Thanks 🙏

[@tonyacevedo3149]

Yep its 2.5 inch pvc and it slides right onto the T-Bone. From there I just built it out to run into the truck bed. When not in use it folds up and can stand it up against the wall in my garage.

[@mobn28]

Hey Tony. You should make a video of that t bone setup pvc build & loading. Would be amazing. And very helpful I use pool noodles now in my t bone and that doesn’t last long. They always coming off and ripping. Thanks for the amazing videos. Loving my Shimano FL 👍🏻🙏🎣

[@GabrielGonzalez-mh6ex]

Tony Acevedo hey anywhere you can make a video of that? I’m looking to get an outback soon and would like to do what you did to the truck

[@billsalsbery2296]

I’m just starting to get into fishing and love the Kayak options. Just a couple of questions. 1. Where do you store keeper fish? 2. How do you launch from a pick up bed? If you have to pee, do paddle to shore? If you were to tip, how do you get back in? Thanks for sharing. I love the idea of kayak fishing.

[@tysonkahler]

Nice Informative video.

[@tonyacevedo3149]

Thanks!

[@jelly_fishing]

Nice setup

[@tonyacevedo3149]

Thanks!

[@jrreid24]

even intercoastal in florida i was thinking about a depth/fish finder... any thoughts?

[@kevinyoung947]

Where do you put your catch what do you do for live bait??

[@ojw205]

Where do you put your ice chest if you want to keep the fish?

[@jilm4]

Enjoy the walk through. I just picked up a new Outback and am ready to get it out. This is my first peddle drive. How stable is the Outback to stand in? Also, what’s the advantage of attaching a 5’ line to your anchor pole instead of just sticking it through the trolley? Thanks man, enjoy the channel.

[@gmcbride6306]

I haven't seen you keep any fish. Any info on fish bags or coolers? I just got a Old Town Sportsman 120PDL and plan to join SS soon.

[@Saltstrong]

Great question! Make sure to ask this over in the Community (www.saltstrong.com/) where the coaches spend their time.

[@davidmiller2238]

For keeper fish, do you use a stringer? Seems like that would attract sharks.

[@GheenoeLifeLT25]

Power pole micro anchor vs anchor trolley for inshore fishing? Besides price

[@tonyacevedo3149]

I have gone back forth trying to decide if I want the power pole, but the main reason why I haven't gone with it is because you can only anchor from the rear. So you are stuck facing one direction depending on the wind/current. With the anchor trolley you can change which direction you are facing while staying anchored. The upside of the power pole is you can anchor on just about any type of bottom (hard or soft). With an anchor pin and the anchor trolley setup, you can only anchor in soft bottom. The stand alone anchor pin will not hold or penetrate into hard bottom.

[@docfishingsrq]

I also think that when you are fishing for spooky fish, the micro power pole is a little loud when it deploys and can spook fish.

[@timrogers8386]

thanks for the walk through. I fish out of a 2019 Outback too. I'm curious about how you load and unload from your truck with the stern in the front of your bed. It almost looks like you have some kind of PVC rack in there? Can you describe your load/unload process? The rudder on the outback is in such a vulnerable position and I'm always looking for a better way to handle the boat. Thanks!

[@tonyacevedo3149]

Hey Tim! I typically back right up to the water and slide the kayak right off and into the water. I set the nose down and hop into the bed and grab the rear handle and swing the back end out and onto the ground.

[@xRamZx]

Great video! Like others, I have some followup questions. What kind of bed extender are you using and how do you load/unload your kayak from the truck

[@mattt9634]

Bro what cam do you use ? its super clear

[@ryanpollack3504]

Hi Tony, great video. Is the gulp bait on board specifically for sight fishing?

[@tonyacevedo3149]

Thanks Ryan! I use Gulp for sight fishing and blind casting.

[@bradwadefishtx]

Hey Tony, I went with this exact anchor set up Stick It Pin and all and couldn't be happier with the quality and convenience. I just got the ram mounts and found the pin doesn't really fit in them as well as a paddle due to the smaller diameter. I haven't been out on the water with them yet and just wondered if you've had any issues.

[@gman4674]

Where do you get the hitch extender?

[@Saltstrong]

You can get them anywhere trailer parts are sold (amazon, local stores, etc)

[@KansaSCaymanS]

What do you do with the fish you want to keep?

[@Hydrayak]

Great overview! Any issues with the anchor trolly leaking? I want a system like that but not ready to drill my hull.

[@tonyacevedo3149]

Thanks! Nope no leaks here. I always use marine grade silicone when installing hardware, unless it uses the well nuts which have a rubber seal.

[@adamw8941]

Hey Tony, how do you like the seat pad? I could use more padding around my tailbone, especially after several hours. Thanks for the vid too.

[@tonyacevedo3149]

It's not the best. I'm still searching for a better option. Just decided to try this one out.

[@TheFishingMommy]

Tony Acevedo check out Kayak Kushion!!

[@bcp5296d]

Hmm, I'd suggest a bait bucket and $10 bubbler (about 15$ total and you'll double to triple the amount of fish you catch on some days), and a 4 ft cast net. But then you wouldn't sell as much bass pro swi.....I mean slim shadys, so I get it ;)

[@Saltstrong]

Artificial lures can be just as effective as live bait!

[@docfishingsrq]

Love the setup! I had a question about your paddle. Is it a standard length or slightly longer since you are on a sit on top hobie?

[@tonyacevedo3149]

Thanks! The paddle I have is 250cm but I would probably go up to a 260 when I replace this one.

[@texczechbohunk2143]

Thanks…learned a thing or two…

[@Saltstrong]

You bet!

[@ZoePzzie]

Awesome video and really love the kayak setup. What's hold the kayak up from the tailgate. I'm looking to do the same soon. Thank you.

[@tonyacevedo3149]

Thanks! It's a PVC contraption that I built off of the bed extender I have. I will be putting a video together soon showing it.

[@ZoePzzie]

@@tonyacevedo3149 awesome. Thanks

[@johnmanic761]

Do you have a fishing channel?

[@tonyacevedo3149]

This is it!

[@mg8718]

The coast gaurd will never recover your body after you get hit by a 5 ft wave.

[@michaelgreen9722]
