Who Would Have Thought

Well here we go. I am so excited to learn a new way of fishing. Can't wait to see what I can pull over the side of this thing.

Spencer will get you set up right. Just wait til you get a big flathead from that thing!

[@MoKanCatfishing]

Man I loved fishing from a yak. Caught some blues and flats up to 40 in one. You will love it, it is a riot! If my shoulders were not so bad Id still be doing it.

[@RiverCertified]

They're an awesome tool to have.

[@joshualong2322]

I love the kayak fishing every weekend

[@mickaburkhart14]

I think I'm going to enjoy it for sure.

[@michaelcatoe7462]

You're very creative, here's a tip, toilet flange bolts will fit in your rails.. you can use your imagination from there with PVC pipe. You can make a lot of stuff cheaper than buying..

[@mickaburkhart14]

OK awesome tip thank you. Yeah I would much rather make it than buy it for sure

[@billylusk3515]

You and spencer will have a blast going out, some good videos coming up

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I can't wait.

[@kevinssilentfishing7292]

Small graph with a transducer arm. Anchor trolley on both sides. Go fish few times before making mods. You'll find some mods get in the way.

[@mickaburkhart14]

OK. Thank you. Yeah I'm gonna feel everything out and hopefully figure it out 😆

[@jimnanney6264]

Wow The size fish you catch might want to wear a ski vest Because you might be in for a ride I wish you the best of luck and looking forward to watching your adventures

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol you may be right.

[@catchfishwithus]

You catch fish bigger than that dinghy! Lol I can't do a kayak myself, but I look forward to watching your adventures.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol. Yeah it's definitely going to be an adventure for sure.

[@theroundman4949]

I have a perception outlaw 11.5 and put a minn kota terrova with spot lock for the lake. It doesn't cause any problems being stowed while creek fishing , but it's great to have instead of anchor lines.

[@mickaburkhart14]

That will be an upgrade in the future. Thank you for that.

[@countryfriedent]

can't wait to see some kayak fishin!

[@ethanchandler7097]

Looking forward to seeing this! You’re going to have fun. Just started kayak fishing myself and my very first fish caught on it was a 44 lb blue cat. I’d recommend bringing a boga grip for landing big fish since a big net isn’t going to be very practical on a kayak.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Heck yeah that's a good one out of a kayak. Yeah I already got a grip in it. Thank you for that.

[@thestonesaver6345]

I only got about 6 videos, but a few were of my Ascend H12 build. Check it out. A lot could easily be swapped to an H10. I’m sure it would help give you ideas. Hit me up if you have any questions. It would be my pleasure to help you out with it.

[@mickaburkhart14]

OK awesome. I will definitely check out your videos. Thanks you.

[@CertifiedFishingNut]

PPE, Brush grips, rod holders, anchoring system. Just try to make it as comfortable as you can. I think you’ll figure it out pretty quickly. It’s fairly simple. Can’t wait to see some kayak videos brotha!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I have ordered all that stuff so hopefully covered for the most part.

[@brucewjourney1175]

Talk to Mr Doty!

[@anthonyfoutch3152]

I'd put outriggers on it to make it stable.

[@mickaburkhart14]

A couple people have suggested that. I'm currently looking at them. Thank you for the advice.

[@travishanger8604]

I work at Dick's distribution and they do a silent auction about every month or 2. They always have Kayak's and I've come close to winning one but I've been hesitant on which type to bid on. Looking forward to seeing how yours turns out. Also cant wait for the videos that come from this..... Solo and with RC. Like someone already commented earlier, Justin with Kayak catfishing is a great source of knowledge my friend

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I can't wait to get out there and hook my first fish in it. Yeah I will reach out to Justin here soon.

[@HomesickforAlaska]

Best way to outfit a Kayak for fishing is to float it behind your boat. Short of that, invest in a good PFD and make sure every piece of gear floats. I have a buddy that fishes out of his Kayak and he has flipped it a couple of times.

[@mickaburkhart14]

😆 yeah that's what I'm definitely going to make sure of. Either tethered or it can float.

[@FightinChanceFishing]

Once I saw your kayak, I knew Spencer had something to do with it. I'm 6'4" and 350, so I was worried about flipping the darned things. But, I watched enough Spencer that I went ahead and tried it. Man, oh, man - I wish I would have gotten into it years earlier, when I was still a little more nimble. I love getting dragged around by little fish. So much fun 👍

[@mickaburkhart14]

I can't wait to feel that feeling.

[@yourcousins8734]

ill look through my pics and find my setup and send yah some ideas

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@roynorman5179]

Can't wait to see how it works out

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol me either.

[@user-xv9bi3ne9m]

Wish i could help you but i do not have one. But I'm looking forward to see how you do with it and hearing alot of laughing and heck ya's. Stay safe and be blessed. My friend.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol thank you.

[@jutnjenrasmussen8637]

You’ll have to tie everything down like pvt Joe Snuffy! 🤣 the 550 cord king lol

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol that's definitely happening.

[@BENNHENDRICKS33]

I sent you a friend request, I’m in the Cumberland city area and been trying to get back into fishing. I plan to buy a kayak to hit up some creeks around here.

[@trinityoutdoors]

Awesome can't wait for the future video

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@hunter5858]

Justin from kayak catfishing Micka

[@dalewood5964]

Is that the Cicadas roar I hear?? It's crazy here in South Carolina.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah ots crazy here also.

[@bigtrout]

I was at Lake Greenwood couple weeks back. Man what a noise just continually. Here in WNC we don’t have any, or at least not yet!

[@Matt.A]

If your worried about flipping I'd look at a beavertail stealth 1200 or 2000 they won't flip.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Well I will definitely get another kayak in the future. Just starting out so I didn't want to go all in just yet lol. But I will definitely look into that one. Thank you for the advice.

[@Matt.A]

Np it's not a typical kayak it's a sneak boat you can duck hunt out of it too . I had one but sold it to get a bigger boat perfectly for one person.

[@brucewjourney1175]

Good Luck Man! Does a Kayak have Breaks???

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah I thinkjust the paddle lol.

[@dalewood5964]

Hey Micka. Are you okay? No videos for almost 2 weeks. Just checking on you

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yes sir doing well. It's just been some really tough fishing lately with the spawn in full swing and this dang rain we have been getting. It's been keeping the river messed up. Thank you for checking in. I really appreciate that.
