This week I'm finally testing out my kayak livewell. I was really hoping to kayak fish for Crappie and keep my catch in this Hobie kayak livewell but as you will see, that did not go as planned! However, I still managed to catch some nice bass doing some top water fishing! Follow along and I will make this kayak livewell better than new!!

You have to either leave switch on and allow the red valve to do the draining, or fill and plug the input and raise the red valve. It's not a bad livewell by any means. Especially for saltwater anglers.

@buddysheets77

You have to leave the switch on so that it continuously pumps water into the tank and then the overflow goes out through the drain. If you turn off the pump, you would have to put the included plug over the water intake inside the tank. That is also how you hold water prior to getting to the lake.

I bought the XL Hobie Livewell for saltwater use and had a miserable experience too. I dont have a ton of money to waste, so i was very disappointed when i found out that i cpuldnt trust Hobie with a simple live well. I went back to my $25 Cool Bubbles bucket. It’s insulated and easy to use. Plus i feel like its less weight for me to haul around

@TrophyFish

It requires forward motion to fill AND its just a recirculate tank. Not meant to leave the drain open at all. Its meant to refresh the water from time to time and leave the drain closed. One of the things I don't like about it. You're scooping hot water from the surface. Go just 1-2 feet down and the water is much cooler. I also didn't like the 6v system. I swapped to a 13 gallon shad tank I run on the back of the PA14. I can keep shad or minnows alive all day with NO water changes. I power the 12v pump on the shad tank with my 24v lithium TM battery, with a 24v-12v step down. No bubbler needed because the shad tank automatically bubbles.

@scottehrlich6653

Lights are terrific. My xl live well needs priming. Someone in California sells a tube extension cut at a forward intake angle. If you carry the kayak backwards no more wet feet and it’s fun to drone her on and off.

@justinbarnes2606

Lights look good brother.

@mikeryan925

The lights look sick! Like a green runway!

@newenglandangler

You think a check valve in the intake pump would help? Also, you need to get yourself a forward facing rod holder...lol

@kuyaIhor

Nice kayak! And great fishing!

@gregwilsonnaturephotography

Hey TJ, i don't have bait box issues cuz i don't fish.. i always watch cuz i enjoy your kayak mods! I wish next Monday was here already! Greg

@davidmcnairn1015

Yes, I have the same live well you do and I also believe that you have to be moving around 2 to 3 miles an hour to force water into the intake, but I still have problems with it, it is problematic and difficult to use. Would love to see a video on a modification. Love your videos and tight lines.

@alanh7285

@KayakUSA1 TJ can you do a walk-through video of your setup on your green Hobie?

@tpharo34

Loved video is this Alabama?

@CrazyCranker

I think the boat has to be moving forward to force water up into the tank. Also I think you initially need to pump the water into the tank by hand with that red handle .

@deepdivingdak

Man a few weeks ago I had the exact same thing happen - had to free all my minnows because I couldn’t get my brand new Hobie XL live well to pump correctly. I have since added a primer bulb to get it started and also an on/off switch for plugging the pump hole. Hoping I have a better experience next time.

@stephenwells1831

A $450 piece of equipment for a hobby that needs modifications to function?

@andrewnewsom7482

I may have overlooked it if you’ve already done it, but I’m interested in your long term review of the Insta360. I noticed you swapped cameras sometime during that video. Was considering buying one but wondering what your long term thoughts were?

@MavHntr

Surprised the hose down thru scupper was long enough. This Hobie V-2 livewell model isn't recommended for a PA, due to shorter hose. The one you have is recommended for the Outback and other Hobie models.
