SUP Fishing with the Bixpy J-2 motor REVIEWED

[@nathangibbs769]

I’ve been exclusively fishing off my paddle board in my local estuary’s for the past 5 years, and absolutely love it! It’s the quickest way for me to be able to get out on the water and fish. As you said it’s great exercise and I really like the freedom to move around on the board as opposed to being in a fixed position in a cheaper paddle kayak. I’ve been slowly overtime refining my sup setup and think one of the bixpy motors would be an awesome addition to my board and providing me with all the benefits as outlined on your video. Thanks for all your great content! Cheers Nathan

Hey mate! thanks for the advice from a noob over here. was great reading your thoughts

[@mickcapilli]

Haha, classic! Hope you and especially the missus are enjoying life in the US! Happy wife happy life! I've got 2 SUPs, and fish off mine occasionally, heaps fun around flats chasing whiting. Got some good ones at Ballina over the years. I'd definitely use the bixby to motor back against the tide! SUP fishing is fun, but can be a slog when the wind is up or the tide is running!!!

[@bengillespie1978]

Good to see another video !! I’d love someone to grab this bixpy that maybe are unable to pedal or paddle,I think this would be a great option to help those who aren’t as mobile

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks mate. More to come!!!

[@McQuadeOutdoors]

Always cool to see someone else make some SUP Fishing videos. A pair of good water shoes goes a long way on being able to stand all day on the boards. Pretty jealous of the motor!

[@orricmclsanky]

Nice one Byron, never would have thought to put a motor on a sup. If I won one of these it would be going on the compass to deal with the tides, winds or just getting out to pulbah island on lake Macquarie saving the legs for the quiet stuff

[@ByronTeaHill]

A bit different hey. Didn’t mind it at all

[@roguebiscuit1707]

Just got an old hobie pa 14 domain 2012 or domething. Super exited to use it. Super lucky to get for the price it got it. Still broke after tho. Money is temp fishing is 5 ever

[@ByronTeaHill]

Totally agree mate! Enjoy that PA on the water, you’ll have so much fun

[@roguebiscuit1707]

@@ByronTeaHill love the videos mate keep up the good work.

[@rorygibbo6206]

We’ve had an big old 2 and a half seater kayak for well over 10 years now and we have smashed the daylights out of it but it continues to charge haha wacking a motor on that would be so wild

[@niallcameron6433]

Hey Byron, I've got a Hobie Compass and this would be able to get me from my usual launch Blackwattle Bay to Darling Harbour. With a little extra speed I should be able to get in and out with a few giant bream before the rangers find me 🤣

[@ByronTeaHill]

Lol. How does the kayak go in darling harbour with the big boats?

[@niallcameron6433]

@@ByronTeaHill Little bit scary at times but you learn to steer clear of them - if you can't deal with big boats then Sydney Harbour ain't for you 🤣. Gotta get in and out ideally before the ferries start running

[@johnathonLawrence]

These would be great on the PA14 for those long River trips to save the legs and motor home after a long day on the water

[@ByronTeaHill]

Morning legend. Hope you’re well budd

[@johnathonLawrence]

@@ByronTeaHill living the dream at work mate, Hope it's going well for you in USA 🤙🏽

[@onyxcheong9278]

I would probably use the Bixpy for my kayak, it’d be nice to be able to have a bit more control over where I’m going, especially when fishing tight spots for Bass

[@wattoak6666]

I think with paddle/rudder controls like that, you should move to Venice and pilot a gondola. That was a great fun video, I'd like one of these on the kayak. Keen to see how you went up in Batemans bay.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Cheers legend!!!

[@Med.iced.coffee]

I would mount if to my PA, would definitely be put use to help cover more water and rest the legs.

[@ByronTeaHill]

100% thats the idea

[@elvisthumper1279]

An interesting review. Some definite pros and cons. The lack of storage really effects SUP fishing (and that’s totally ignoring the balance aspect). At risk of self disclosure and self promotion- if this comment won the bixpy, I would use it as a re-giveaway, apologies to SLH (and hat ignoring HWS- Hi James!) I would re- give it away on behalf of the the shop I work at The Bass Angler. Props to your vids BTH, am a fan. Looking forward to the US adventures.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Hey Elvis! always a pleasure to see you on here! tight lines legend and thanks for contributing

[@westhamcam2769]

Hope your having a good time in the US. I'd chuck it on my outback to help get from spot to spot and motor on back to the launch. Sounds like it's a bit to loud for casting, how about trolling?

[@ByronTeaHill]

best little accessory for the kayak!!!

[@Andz_88]

I’d use this on my Kayak, to be able to get to some of deeper spots quicker in the bay. My current pedal kayak can be quite exhausting to pedal to some of good spots.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Good call!

[@chrisj7929]

Would love to have one of these on my Outback. The Mirage Drives obviously work well, but it'd be nice to cover extra distance or cruise back to the ramp after a long session 👍

[@ByronTeaHill]

100% good use for it Chris

[@JaymieJones]

Cool to see some fishing from an ESS-YOU-PEE :P, haven't seen much besides a few vids the salt strong lads have done. Pretty cool "ultra light" style setup to get out on the water, SUP + Bixpy + some kind of box on the rear (Yak Attack Blackpak Pro could be a good alternative to an esky). I would use it on any paddle yak, I don't think you would get a huge benefit on a pedal yak (just a little faster but with noise), but helping get from A to B or even on the way back to the launch point to save the little praying mantis built arms at the end of a long session on the water.

[@ByronTeaHill]

lol! thanks Jaymie

[@daveregan845]

I would chuck it on my 16 OB to compliment the 180 Mirage drive I recently upgraded to. I would have the best of both worlds!!

[@ByronTeaHill]

You're in!

[@christopherbinns7571]

Would be epic on my k2f nextgen 11, I just chopped down a minn kota and put it through a cassette plug, only issue is the battery is so damn heavy, first time I use it it was weighing the nose down so much I was crab walkin haha

[@joelcrosbie8996]

I'd throw the Bixby on the PA14 to do donuts around everyone at the start line of a Hobie round....😜

[@ByronTeaHill]

Hahahaha, I could imagine that!

[@duanesfishn]

Mate, this would be perfect for my Lynx. I see SLH have some really cool Lynx rudder mounts for the Bixpy. Thanks again for putting this together Byron.

[@ByronTeaHill]

No worries dude!!!! Thanks for supporting the channel (I can’t say this enough)

[@mjau0374]

Very interesting video. Have been toying with the idea of getting an SUP, to make the most of those opportunities when I only have an hour or two and when launching the boat is simply not an option. This little unit on an SUP would be great, extending the reach that much further to those juicy banks that are beyond the reach of the shore anglers

[@ByronTeaHill]

Glad it was helpful and yeah I think that’s one of the main adventures on the unit.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Advantages… early morning, no coffee

[@Cimmeron]

Hey Byron, That’s going on my kaboat. I tried sup once and fell off far too many times.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Thanks Sean!

[@MrAlGault]

Would have to throw it on my cheap anaconda kayak while I save for my elusive hobie.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Nice!!!

[@aaronwoolnough8591]

I would use the bixpy on my compass 😀

[@ByronTeaHill]

nice aaron!

[@jamesrussell9077]

I’d fall off within seconds. I have a kayaks2fish yak. It paddle power so a motor power would be a dream

[@Omygollygoshie]

Would throw that on the back of my Bonafide SS127 so I dont have to use my arms all day and be able to just use the motor

[@ByronTeaHill]

cooool!!!

[@stephenlatimer1428]

think i will stay with the boat kayak canoe my 2 feet lol.

[@ByronTeaHill]

Nice! lol

[@calebsandercock8538]

rapala urbin sling bag wld be sick as a SUP tacle solution

Yeah that’s a good idea
