This video compares the Old Town Topwater 120 and the Old Town Discovery 119 Solo Sportsman. They both are great boats, but there are things I like better for each of them. I do however prefer one of them. Old Town makes some great kayaks for duck hunting. I use these kayaks to hunt ducks layout style. The redhead kayak blind fits both of these boats and offers a great hide. Kayak duck hunting is a great way to get out and try some new spots.

Great video on picking the right kayak, that really helps a lot 😊

[@spider67able]

I’m digging the kayak duck hunting! I had a 19-ft Tracker Grizzly all camo’d out and I felt like a sore thumb in the field. Definitely buying a kayak.

[@peterlederer7674]

Sorry to hear ur wedding got postponed. These are tough times for all of us of course. I would like to thank you and all the flyways collective for ur continued videos. It's the passion of waterfowl hunting, the outdoors at a time like this that makes u feel like we will get through this. Things will return to normal at some point and we wil be back hunting ducks again. I wore my spoonies bro hat and shirt out yesterday made me feel better about all that we are facing right now.

[@331slash]

Good video, exactly what i was looking for

[@milesdaisey4388]

Helpful vid keep up the good work and sorry to hear about your wedding

[@davidculp4883]

I love my Ascend H12

[@chucksmith5002]

Yeah I like my Jackson Big Rig . I have no Blind for it yet but I also have a 16 ft. Semi Vee with a Go-devil .

[@gwag3944]

I hunt out of a Nucanoe Frontier 12 with their layout duck blind. It is incredibly stable and can haul over 600lbs.

[@clinte9897]

Good choice

[@SomewhereInWisconsin]

Good video Josh! I'd go with the top water 100% of the time. Safer. More stable, and can't fill up with water.

[@robbydingman3740]

Knowing what you’ve seen with both kayak options. I was looking into the ascend h12, but then I came across the pelican bass raider. I’d like something that would be good to fish out of also. I hadn’t considered the no motor rule for public land as the places I hunt allow motors. What would be your thoughts on the bass raider? I see it as the stability of a jon boat, but the flexibility of a kayak. Not sure how well they paddle, but I’d be using a troll motor or a 3.5hp gas engine to get through the channels where I’m at. I’m not a small guy so I’d like to limit the possibility of dumping my boat over.

[@kendragon2827]

I didn't notice if you compared the weight. I have a topwater PDL 120, and for fishing , it is fantastic. Not so much hunting deer. It is heavy, hence why I am looking at hybrid options. Will probably go for an Old Town Next

[@timwagner9170]

KDWPT requires at least white light on any boat.!!! After dark! Good move with mounted lights. I got fined in a row boat once!

[@western-fishing]

Thanks for the video! What is the kayak blind you are using ?

[@Gc0LL90]

Can you do a standing/stability test video on the solo sportsman

[@MrBowNaxe]

Sweet video Josh! I have a boat with a blind for the big marahs but I do alot of walk-in hunts as well. I'm really looking hard at a kayak and this helps. Do you ever use a push pole or is that not feasible? Thanks for sharing. Sorry that you guys had to delay the wedding.

[@benjaminmanogue2806]

Question, I'm looking to get into duck hunting from a kayak and buying a kayak. My biggest concern is transportation in my short bed truck. I would prefer a 12 foot. How do you transport your kayak and gear? Maybe a video idea? Thanks!

[@djdettlinger5527]

i keep going back and forth between the topwater 120 and the discovery 119. need to choose one soon.

[@TonyChin226]

Check out the ascend 12h or 10h

[@danmccall2150]

I have never duck hunted out of a kayak before but I own a Ocean Kayak Prowler (older model) for fishing the salt marshes of S. Georgia. I think I am going to use it for a "Quack Yak" and see how it goes. PS I will be doing mostly day hunts. I do not want to deal with the darkness and alligators.

[@underthetrees4780]

I run a Prowler 13T for ducks, works pretty darn well, only complaint is I'd like an open bin in the front and not all the dry storage, but otherwise it's been a game changer.

[@joeychannel3771]

Which would be better for paddling up stream, which boat has less drag?

[@paulprowse7627]

Sorry to hear you have to postpone Josh! Good choice though! Much happiness to you and Mrs J! Paul

[@JewportMenthols]

An honorable mention for a Kayak I'd recommend is An Old Town Vapor 12. I got mine for $400 cash and a nice Aqua Bound manta paddle for $40 from a super nice Kayak Dealer Kim in PA, Country Kayaks he has an Ebay store as well. I made my blind out of Camo Netting, Poly fencing and Raffia Grass. You get pretty creative when you are broke. Pinterest is an awesome place for duck blind ideas

[@OutdoorLimits]

we have the Vapor 10's at work and when I first used it I thought it would make a decent duck hunting kayak. I'm just not sure about how stable it is and how much gear it can hold.

[@JewportMenthols]

@@OutdoorLimits I comfortably fit a dozen mallard decoys in the cockpit with me, a mojo spinner bag and blind. I think the weight limit is around 375 lbs. Extremely stable due to how wide it is. The only times I've flipped it is at 4am getting into it awkwardly in my waders(all my fault). Shooting out of it has been no problem at all good little boat that's opened up so much good hunting areas for me this past season.

[@travisjacobson7126]

I use the same yak as well. First season went well with it no issues! Just gotta be careful getting in and out, along with wearing a LJ

[@fernandovasquez4106]

What kayak is leaned against the wall?

[@darrkitx11]

Would you be selling the northern flight kayak blind?

[@jamestribol1434]

next time you do a kayak comparison, try a NuCanoe Frontier 12

[@muddylandingwaterfowl7734]

We’re do you get thoses lights

[@falconer5830]

Those kayak blinds are so hard to come by anymore. Can't find them anywhere.

[@alexperrin4212]

Your ever just used some leaf o flauge over your kayak instead of a bulky blind. I’ve done it and birds don’t seem to mind kinda seems a little extra to get a layout blind for a kayak. To each is own though lol. I’d just rather not have to deal with a blind on my kayak there already so small and limited.

[@KSDuckHunter]

Do you think i could get my dog on the back of the topwater 120?

[@Aprehended]

Yeah, the Topwater 120 has a lot of space in the back

[@markdent4052]

Why not get a beavertrail 1200 or 2000

[@metal_mo]

Sucks you had to reschedule your wedding. My son had to celebrate his 1st birthday in quarantine with a Zoom party... though he probably won't remember lol.

[@colesmith775]

I was cheap and got a sun dolphin kayak and definitely paid for it when it tipped over.

[@OutdoorLimits]

Thats what I've been trying to tell people! You get what you pay for.

[@Spauldingleberries]

How many pounds of whoop grass did it take to fully cover your blind?

[@OutdoorLimits]

6 ponds

[@Spauldingleberries]

Much obliged

[@minnesota4169]

What if you took the blind on the discovery and tucked it underneath that front bar, and then just had like an extra little grass mat to go over the lights, seems like it might work a little bit better because I can see that it is uncomfortable just by seeing it on there. great video enjoyed it a lot

[@OutdoorLimits]

That wouldn't make a difference. Being able to sit farther back or being able to move the front bar forward would help.

[@Gc0LL90]

Love that old town 119 solo sportsman. My buddy keeps telling me not to waste my money and get a Hobie for fishing.

[@outdoorrn2980]

Where does the dog go?

[@tinysupreme6417]

I was just about to buy the 120 until I found out about inflatable pontoons. I went with a Sea Eagle 285 instead. It's easier and safer to transport in my car which was the selling point for me. As well as cheaper than a kayak.

[@upearlyoutdoors3233]

Now that you got a house, you think you will get a boat?

[@thefriz11]

First off sorry to hear of your wedding being cancelled, better safe than never. I was wondering if you know anything about Ascend H12? If what do you know/think? I like the Discovery 119, but I didn’t realize until now the advantage to both. Thanks

[@OutdoorLimits]

I have no experience with the H12 so I cant help you on that front. The Topwater is fairly similar and I really like it. There are definitely tradeoffs for the different options for kayaks out there.

[@austinh8004]

What's your opinion on the ascend h 12 ?

[@OutdoorLimits]

I don't have an opinion on it. I have never used one. I've heard from people that they like it.

[@austinh8004]

@@OutdoorLimits thanks. Thinking about picking one up for next season. Losts of options. I appreciate your comparison on the two.

[@HuntsvilleHunter]

Austin H Hey Austin, I run that Yak and love it...and that’s the Yak the Cabelas blind was built for, so worth the spend on both. I do recommend a trolling motor tho...

[@austinh8004]

@@HuntsvilleHunter thanks. That's the one Im probably getting. Its just a little heavier then what I want. Can you stand on it okay if you have to ?

[@TheAirSofterblaster200]

It’s not scary paddling in, in the dark no light or anything just use natural light not that hard

[@OutdoorLimits]

It depends on how familiar you are with the area

[@JD-lm8xq]

use natural light at 4 am with no moon... wut? lol

[@carsonito852]

J A guys a moron.

[@edwardwatson6606]

Sorry if I’m am out of place with my 2 cents but in my opinion The wedding reception can be postponed But that should not delay the marriage If you two folks ready it’s time

[@pastormiketwoable]

a crowd of less than 10. You, her your parents and Grandparents. Get married and worry about the reception party later!
