Trip'n ain't easy... 🤠😆

[@rvaway]

So happy to see you out there enjoying the water! Haven’t been getting the noti’s but we on it 2024! Would love to know what you think of the direction of the channel since you last gave me a word of encouragement!🖤

[@davidfuentes7855]

Hell yeah bro. You have to use that kayak.

[@TheFishAndTrips]

True, because it's unbearable during the summer.

I was looking to just survive at one point. 😩

[@BigK_ThirdCoastReds]

@@TheFishAndTrips ...100% Agree

[@Jubin_C]

Bro this is why I sold my solo skiff and bought a boat. I was tired of getting beat down by them winds. Now I gotta learn how to drive this thing 😅

[@TheFishAndTrips]

That's hilarious! 😂😂😂 The Skiff, how was you getting beat up by the winds if you can go shallow and have a trolling motor or a big motor actually?

[@Jubin_C]

@@TheFishAndTrips can’t motor in inches of water. had to push around with the paddle

[@TheFishAndTrips]

What type of boat did you buy?

Love my cheap lil Watersnake!

[@TheFishAndTrips]

Niceee, because everything else so damn expensive!😩

[@lrparrish227]

Wow to windy for me! :) You are a trooper.

[@TheFishAndTrips]

Yeah the wind caught me off guard. It was fine then, boom. Came in like a wrecking ball.

[@hollychiarello373]

Cold = lethargic!

[@TheFishAndTrips]

+ me = dummy

[@1969LILJOE]

Got to check your knots, especially if you have not been out in a while. Thanks for the video and happy to see you out there. The winter has been tough for me too. But I went out on New Years Day and caught a 21 inch for the start of the year. You can see the short on my channel. Looking forward to your camping video. Tigh Lines

[@TheFishAndTrips]

Congrats on a great start to the new year!

[@GoofyFlan]

Happy New Year!.....I'll watch you do it and wait for warmer weather. Am I wEaK?

[@TheFishAndTrips]

No, you're not weak. Just smart! 😂

[@MDLRFishing]

😂😂😂😂😂 hearing you grimace

[@TheFishAndTrips]

Wait to I get my trolling, sir. Juuuuust wait.....😂

[@MDLRFishing]

@@TheFishAndTrips I’ll make sure to bring my laundry 🧺

[@TheFishAndTrips]

I'm going to hang a Army and Navy Flag from my clothes line to give you something to look at while I'm ahead of you.

[@j.mimoso4767]

My Dude, good to see you on the yak. 55 is not cold brother, no matter where you're from lol 😂

[@TheFishAndTrips]

J...come on now, you're a day one, so you should know I've said many of times that black people do not do cold weather. 55° to you, is equivalent of -35° to me.

[@j.mimoso4767]

@TheFishAndTrips can't wait to see the camping videos, I mean, "Winter" camping

[@TheFishAndTrips]

All the gear is here and I'm just scouting spots to camp because of the whole permit issue with state and national parks.

[@biglesthomas1837]

Bruh, The struggle is real for sure. I think you answered your own question 🤔. Like i said before, we are gonna watch you come to your on demise for our eyes. 😅 . Bruh, retie before you hit the water. Its crazy how you loose your first😅 fish all the dang time....SMDH...LOL Happy New year! ✌️ OUT!

Got times, right. 😂😭😂🤮

[@TxHCfishing]

@@TheFishAndTrips questioning myself why do I love too fish than boom fish on !! who's the next drag race against rx angler or Texasallwater ?

[@TheFishAndTrips]

RX uploads less than I do and Texas All Water is like a Captain of Galveston party boats from what I been seeing. Me vs Me 😎

[@TxHCfishing]

True

[@lrparrish227]

I have the Bixpy for sale. Used once. Has all the trimmings with it. for a Hobie. $900. J2model However it does need about 12-14 inches of water but is so easy to put in and out of the kayak. I am selling my Hobie PA12 but will sell the Bixpy separate. Hope you find something you like. Keep on fishing. Love the video!

[@TheFishAndTrips]

Oh yeah, I think I saw and commented on your post on Mark's videos Can you send photo to [e-mail]

[@tribalncgaming1091]

newport vessels NK180 kit .. super great .. modular and your not locked in on proprietary crap

[@TheFishAndTrips]

I checked it out and although it looks good, once you add the lithium battery that they're suggesting it cost just as much as the other competition.

[@trinacria1956]

Got same Outback, after following RX Angler, and am in great shape but...67 years old, so put on a Texas Power Paddle rudder max speed 6 mph. Due to added total expense, prob better to have gotten Old Town Autopilot. Outback can go shallow but seen MDLR do half position trick w motor. That new assist pedal he got forces you to be all up or all down, and motor tip is 13" + draft of hull depending on weight easily adds 2" . Saw on his video from this trip he was poling while his son was cruising in the Autopilot. Need to get there early to get to.... that spot, 4 miles from dock! There is a short route but crosses fenced private property, waisted morning thinking I was smart😂.

[@TheFishAndTrips]

Trespasser!! 😂😂😂 No, but great points. In open water, the Big water is a Beast, but the the Hobie preforms better in really shallow water. The other Old Towne Auto Pilot that Christine has I did see was a keeper to still operate in shallow water although at a slow pace. I think adding a trolling motor to my Hobie gives me the best of both worlds for marsh fishing. I've been looking at Texas power paddle option, but their KZbin channel has all their comments off, which makes me not trust them.

[@trinacria1956]

@TheFishAndTrips cant recommend them enough. When bought mine, Karen,the sales director for Texas Power Paddle, went beyond by sending along a how-to sheet on how to get motor license, and when the Hobie dealer ( now defunct) ACK gave me problems about documents they forgot to give me, she called them and Hobie on her own and resolved it for me within hours! They have another company in Austin that makes medical electronics.

[@TheFishAndTrips]

@trinacria1956 what's the battery life like?

[@trinacria1956]

@@TheFishAndTrips never ended a fish trip w battery lower than 45%

[@TheFishAndTrips]

@@trinacria1956 I'll take another look at their website today again. Having it in the rudder super nice comparison to having a pull it up with the attachment with Bixby. Although I was playing with my Hobie rudder and it looks like it'll be pretty damn hard to take it off and add the one from Texas power paddle

[@altonpalmore3584]

Old town

[@travelsouth]

Seems like when we have a lot of North wind that the water gets clear

[@TheFishAndTrips]

I read some comments across Facebook that said during the winter the water always gets clear like this. I never seen it before or noticed it before.

[@porfiriotorres2533]

Happy New Year my friend blessings to you and your family in 2024 !

[@TheFishAndTrips]

Thank you and you as well!

[@HoustonFishingFinatic]

U made me tired by watching u bro 😅 made me want to sell my kayak😅😅 At least u got one fish!! 👏🏼

[@TheFishAndTrips]

I was really evaluating my whole life decisions while I was out there. It took me 45 minutes to hand pedal 300 yards at one point.

On the water about to die.😩

[@trinacria1956]

Good see you out there suffering w rest of us. You may have just cut line on oyster there at first.

[@TheFishAndTrips]

After closer observation, pulled the jig head clean off the line. I use the same setup my last trip and didn't retie. Being lazy.

[@bringit3164]

No way on Gods green earth you getting me in a kayak especially on the ocean. I love fishing but its going to be from a pier or boat 😂. Keep at it my man and tight lines!

[@TheFishAndTrips]

LOL never say never because I said the exact same thing in 2019...

[@trinacria1956]

This was in the inshore marsh, so usually 2-5 ft not the open ocean. Of course, I have to get there via the Intercotal waterway and barge traffic... 15 ft or more.

I usually write a comment before the video starts... I was going to say something about the water and weather temp.... Then boom you start talking about it.

Whooped....my azz. Yeah, never again. I thought the marsh land would protect us from the wind, but nope!

[@blazinferno]

What rod and reel are you using in this video?

[@TheFishAndTrips]

Shimano Vanford 500 and Old Towne Ultra Light 7 ft that has been discontinued.

Looks like a struggle. I just bought a mount and rigged a minn kota 55lb on my Bonefide worked great

Yeah, having to cross that 20 feet deep channel on the way back in all that wind was super sketch.
