[@windowclean100]

YakPak Outdoors Yo dude I hope you’re packing up and getting the hell out of there Stay safe

[@poststalone1496]

Do not underestimate the amount of water to bring. Staying hydrated is so important when you are your motor.

[@FishingWithYakPak]

Absolutely agree 1 million%

[@basswhackinbros2807]

your pfp makes me extremely uncomfortable

[@fixerupper3042]

Ok thanks for the tip.

[@rougaroux2359]

Regular motors need oil to stay cool we as motors for yaks need our way to stay cool.

[@willsudik9398]

Water u mean beer lmao

[@JohnWilliams-pn7ft]

I try to always bring water and Gatorade and a high calorie sealed snack. I've spent a night in the mangroves in a storm and small things like that can save your butt...

[@SoupySteve7683]

I think one thing that I have learned from kayak fishing is knowing the body of water your going to be fishing in. If you are familiar with the waters along with all other safety measures you may be less likely to make a fatal mistake. If I’m unsure of a like or River I ask around about spots to avoid or be cautious in before I set out. Knowing where you are and what’s around you is always an advantage. Also being aware of other boaters. I can’t say how many times I’ve been completely looked over by bigger boats and been toppled over by wakes and not even be close to them. Keep that head on a swivel guys. Have fun and stay safe!

[@SARGE3439]

Lanyards, leashes and dry boxes/bags. Landing net, fish grips and a kill spike or club. Anchor or stakeout pole and some items to treat fish hook wounds. Was that Dubois?

[@adileneguerra9926]

Just bought my first kayak today . Sit in . Used. All I can afford right now but I am excited to try it . Great videos!

[@carolinafishing901]

Your list is spot on and way to go advocating for PFD use. I am a Paramedic and have lost count of how many drownings I have ran over the years involving fishermen. I have seen it happen in everything from a small farm pond to a large lake.

[@WhoTFVotedBiden]

Well you’re not supposed to run them over you’re supposed to save them! ;)

[@gregmavor]

Great info. I have sit inside and want to get sit on top. I’m new to kayak fishing and this info is great. Cool fishing spot.

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

outstanding info!! I still over load....sigh. And i wear my PFD in skinny water, it doesnt take much if your face down. And my PFD is part of my tackle management system. And my next yak will have that lawn chair style seat....and i concur, yak fishing is very exciting and habit forming...hope this storm doesnt mess yalls fishing up...

[@bassnbucks3238]

Man bro this video was so helpful for me someone who is looking to buy a kayak by the end of the month

[@FishingWithYakPak]

Bass N’ Bucks awesome to hear! Hope when you get one you love it! I think you will 👊🏼😁

[@theparamedicyakker5539]

I have some old content for beginning kayakers on my channel as well if you need some more info or help. Tight lines!

[@isaac_robles5850]

I am

[@upstateangler9575]

Its not a 1-5 but if you have a paddle kayak a correct size paddle also makes life a bit easier too

[@FishingWithYakPak]

Shawn Murphy YESSSS!!!

[@GeorgiaBassmaster]

I love my sit on kayaks better, yours is an awesome one too brother. Thanks for the tips!

[@nativewildman9335]

In my state you have to have one live vest per person on all boat types. Our rules and regulations are set by the US Coastguard standards. I was told by a game warden that it is the minimum requirements for all states. My advice is to check your state's rules and regulations before you get on the water. I definitely recommend a set on kayak for fishing. I have a Nucanoe F10(Frontier ten feet) it's a very stable kayak I can stand on it and throw a cast net from it. The kayak cost around 1000 and you can customize it Nucanoe has many options. Very good informational video 5 stars!

[@theparamedicyakker5539]

Thanks for the tips. As far as new kayakers and PFD's go, get fitted properly for your PFD. And these fishing kayaks most have a higher back seats, make sure the PFD sits comfortably on your back. That could make or break a full day of fishing. Also check your states law on PFD's. Texas requires all watercraft to have at least a PFD on board your vessel. Best wishes, and tight lines everyone.

[@coreymonk]

Louisiana requires one on board as well

[@flipflop_fishingsuzannetys9617]

I watch you, Lojo, Kicking and Norm. But you have fastly become my fav. Not only do you catch fish you learn something ever time. The others are good but not as informed as they use to be. Thank you for keeping it real. 💯🔥👊

[@davidlewis9572]

Great info , here in Texas PFD are mandatory. Buy one that’s comfortable and fits correct. Because if it’s un comfortable you won’t wear it ...fact. I wear a manual inflatable type ...light weight , cooler and less restrictive when fishing . Set the hook brother

[@YakAngling]

I may need to put some of these ideas to my Lure for my YakAngling channel. Great Video!!

[@paparayfishing2000]

Good tips. Safety first. I agree that comfort is essential. I fish for 5-8 hours straight and there is no way I could do that without a quality seat.

[@grantsmith505]

The bag of raw prawns just sitting there shows me your fishing a long way from Australia

[@88keysLA]

“Ok I’ve got a bottle of water” you got me on that one. Actually laughed out loud. Not just lol

[@amandawaddell7743]

i love the way you provide videos for us all great people out here even you thanks to you a bought a kayak an went to the lake an cought my 11th fish

[@trailtrashoutdoors8173]

New subscribers here from Trail Trash Outdoors! Just recently purchased our first kayaks and love it! Went fishing for the first time from it the other day and man was it a blast! Didnt catch anything but it sure was better than being inside! Much love new friend-TTO Really sweet kayak man I bet the ticket is pretty nice too!

[@bdaquatics7584]

30K bro! You deserve more subs. I always learn something here

[@FishingWithYakPak]

TEXAS RIGGED thanks brotha 👊🏼😁

[@HouArtFishing]

Good tips. I just started fishing on my kayak and i need to be more organized. But the important thing is that i do carry my life jacket on my kayak at all times.

[@darkreaper246]

Thank you so much. I’m looking for a kayak. Also I’m new to kayak fishing so this was a great video for me

[@kennethlopez9436]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video, keep doing what you do best, from a space coast subscriber. The best 👍👍👍

[@advocate0426]

I've been looking for a video like this - thank you very much sir!

[@Big_Johns_Life]

I always wear my pfd period it is hot and sucks in the heat.

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Perfect timing for this video, I’ve been looking into getting a sit on top kayak here lately. Great video boss 👊🏻

[@joseph41389]

Awesome video and very helpful as I just purchased my first fishing kayak! Do you have a link for the aftco logo you have up front? Lol

[@kevinmartin4787]

Thank you for the info! Watching from Central Texas

[@scottvriethoff6633]

Life jackets are the law. Get one that is made for rowing and has plenty of pockets. Make it worth wearing.

[@masonb6967]

I always have a PFD. Also a good idea to keep something like an air horn or a whistle in case you need help. I also do that.

[@doxx2265]

Use a milk crate and 3700 sized tackle trays. It’s quick and easy access while keeping everything secure. Always have plenty of water. And GET AN ANCHOR. It’ll save you headaches with currents or winds.

[@Hydrayak]

Shade is a big on for me! Especially in saltwater where there's lots of wide open spaces.

[@Wilderness_PursuitPA]

So good in the fishingTAG tournament, I'm doing it for the first time, if you don't mind me asking what's a good beginning GoPro

[@InfantryOutdoors]

Great tips and video! I like that spot you went too! Amazing!

[@pamelaklemp5615]

ALWAYS take a portable AIR HORN . Most states require a safety Whistle BUT the loud roar of a power boat's motor often will drown out a Whistle sound. An AIR HORN IS MADE TO BE HEARD OVER DISTANCE. That extra distance can be the only thing between you and a speeding boat. Also be certain to quick test it regularly for air and sound. I keep mine in my PFD in case I'm needing it while in the water. I'm a former Police Dispatcher, Hope this info helps.

[@dmindset]

The belt style PFDs are pretty nice.. super low profile, doesnt get in the way or restrict movement, etc. I snagged an Onyx m16 for less than 60 bucks. Pull the cord.. Boom.. almost instant PFD.. For rough salt water conditions maybe you might want something a little more legit, but for most freshwater situations id say you are good.

[@jerrykrobby]

A couple of things to add. You talked about the importance of having a PFD but brushed off the fact that you weren't wearing one because you were only in 2 feet of water. Never go on the water in a kayak without wearing a PFD. Ever! Accidents aren't planned they're unexpected. Plan for the unexpected. Also when considering a kayak storage, weight if the kayak and transportation need to be part of the equation. You can have a big huge kayak with lots of room but if it's too heavy to move it's not going to get used. Finally demo demo demo. Don't buy a new kayak without testing it in the water for a couple of hours.

[@smithoutdoors5556]

Great video thanks for the tips! Keep up the good work!

[@kaevekplays1903]

You're the 2nd person I've seen that reviewed the Old town top water 120 PDL and loved it. Like you, I originally purchased a semi cheap starter yak. I think I'm going to have to get me of of those top water 120's though. Not having to worry about a paddle gives you so much more time to fish.. and you can cover so much more water with that PDL system. Great video, great review. Keep up the great work brotha.

[@johnbates8964]

Good vid, as for #6, learn how to self rescue before going deep water, very important to know.

[@justin5345]

Jupiter as in Jupiter Florida ? If so I live right down the street from there lol . Great video with some good tips . I’m currently doing some research in getting a fishing kayak . I had a jon boat wasn’t really for me . I’m currently interested in a hobie outback , hobie lynx , and the old town pdl 106/ 120 . Any tips pro / cons of each ?

[@pitchkapizda8355]

Great info bro well done 👍🏼

[@fishzmfgo1]

I prefer sit ins kayaks over sit on tops because sit ins look nicer in my opinion plus they offer protection from the sun on my legs plenty of room for me to set the hook but I'm fishing mostly for bass and trout on small ponds and rivers good video

[@karen_boomer8603]

I like sit on cause you could stand up if you wanted to and it’s easier to get off and on

[@joemartin6439]

Thanks tons I like the big fish 120. Thinking about giving it. Ruder to pedals. Have Gramin 4.5” fish finder. Wish to buy Yak Gadget trolling motor mount . From Saturn boat get $129.00 trolling mount. 55 lbs thrust . Anchor wizard a light strong paddle. Please let me know your thoughts Brest video

[@jakelencher817]

i just got a kayak and went bridge fishing in our channel, i can literately get on the kayak, leave our canal, and go up the channel about maybe 50 feet up to the bridge, then i catch the mangrove crabs and fish with em, its a sit on top.

[@5050fishing]

Just found your channel and subscribed. Love the content 🤙

[@mr.harliechaplin8678]

Really love your kayak guy, i hope someday i have one.... From your subscriber Indonesia

[@yakdaddyoutdoors9249]

Love the channel and very informative!

[@F.N.G.RC1]

After buying my feelfree lure 11.5 the biggest thing I've learned is try things at your own pace. slowly get familiar with your kayak every inch of it what you feel comfortable doing on it. how much weight you feel comfortable having in it, and that kind of thing. Slowly work your skill set up. for instance I don't feel comfortable standing for too long of a period of time or casting to much quite yet I'm a bigger guy and even though my kayak is very stable I haven't reached a level of comfortability yet where I feel like standing all the time on my kayak so I start by just standing up and not trying to cast and then I slowly got now where I can stand up and cast and eventually I'll get to where I can stand up and cast and paddle around and move around while standing I'm just not quite there yet so little by little don't try to do too much too soon.

[@FishingWithYakPak]

Nebraskan Yakin perfect comment dude! I’m 100% positive what you said is going to help current and future Yak anglers 👊🏼😁

[@visscherlively3925]

Yeah man good advice. I fish bare minimum one rod I have been fishing all of my life so I have things norrowed down by now these kayaks with six rods sticking out of them and so much crap they look like a porcupine on steroids and a floating junkyard I get it each to their own if someone is happy getting on the water with a floating hardware store more power to them...me myself I use tools everyday when I go fishing give me a rod and bait and I am happy.

[@jlsarmienta12]

Thanks for the tips!

[@JK-qv2fw]

I know I'm a bit late and probably not the first to mention this, but ALWAYS wear your PFD! If you hit your head when you go in, you can still drown in 2 feet of water! Most PFD's out there will flip you on your back if you're not moving to ensure you don't drown even when knocked out

[@claudiaweber7011]

I really really hope that you warned those kids swimming in the water behind you, that there was a shark in the water. Good video.

[@RonGay58]

What was that underwater camera you cased out to film the turtle?

[@thesunbeamin4304]

Man that looks awesome. But $2,200? Big investment. Anyways great video!

[@williamfowler4047]

Any kayak that has the foot pedals will cost over $1000 sadly. If they dont have foot pedals you can get a nice one for just under $1000

[@imxploring]

Best advice was keeping it simple. You dont need 6 poles and 5 tackle boxes with every piece of kit you own! Skip all the add on accessories.... they just become snag points on the yak.

[@SamEichers]

Try using a left handed reel as a right handed person. Controlling the Rod with your dominant hand feels much more natural once you give it a chance. Try it and you won't go back.

[@FishingWithYakPak]

If you watch a few recent vids, you’ll see that I actually did make that switch and I’ll NEVER look back 🤘🏼🔥

[@SamEichers]

@@FishingWithYakPak NICE ! Wish more fishermen would figure this one out. Maybe you can be the left hand reel ambassador to all the KZbin fishermen who insist on doing it the wrong way lol.

[@arcturusbbqsausagemaking2435]

Do they sell Really Comfortable seats for Kayaks, I want to get one with an electric motor If not I may have to go with a jon/skiff or rowboat My back is not the greatest but plan to fish three or four hours at a time,Fantastic video just subscribed,

[@FernandoRodriguez-gl8xr]

Thank you my man , great video . ..

[@CWilly87]

My advice for a new person looking to buy: try if you can to rent different brands and styles to see what will work best. Don’t go with immediate first affordable, I’m about to upgrade cuz I bought the first one I could afford and now need something different.... Also good idea to think about transportation not from home to the water but from vehicle to water as well

[@Glock-1]

Just subscribed, I like your videos bro and thank you for your service!

[@Durango52]

It’s not cheap but I’ve worn my NRS Chinook going down river when it’s been 90 degrees for 4 hours and always felt comfortable

[@lupuspb4246]

Very informative thank you brother been thinking about getting a kayak for my South Florida bass fishin would make life easier

[@FishingWithYakPak]

Lupus Pb it definitely does man!

[@phillipjacobson4457]

Sun shade. Proper full coverage clothing. I sun burned badly one day level 3 wearing shorts from my knees down and the tops of my feet thrue the mesh on my aqua shoes.

[@treybrafford3493]

To anyone looking for a pfd get the $300 mustang. Only thing I trust my life with also it doesnt do any good if its not on your person

[@micahayahben-yahawadahben-8556]

@trey bradford: It could NOT have been said any better. Best safety advice ever. Keep up the good work.

[@m.w.h.9253]

I'm thinking about getting a kayak for short river floats and possibly some lake floats, any suggestions?

[@5221982]

Yo loved the video and the spot! Question, if you were paddle only, would that be a kayak you would’ve bought, considering the weight , how it paddles and tracks and how it maneuvers? Trying to narrow it down and have 4 in mind for paddle only, maybe in future a pedal drive, but these are the 4,ss127 , nucanoe f12, the kayak in the video and wilderness system recon 120. Let me know what ya think.

[@allenmcswain5151]

@Fishingwithyakpak I really want to start kayak fishing but have no idea where to start. Should I buy used or new?

[@onewithvision8970]

Thank you sir! Awesome video.

[@Thomass7878]

One thing, Keys and phone put in a zip lock bag (2) with something very buoyant!

[@dsmtechgroup6231]

good job, nice day in the shallows for you (and your viewers :)

[@FishingWithYakPak]

🙏🏼😁

[@Texans-Fan]

I am looking for a kayak I can go fishing with my son on, my budget is not huge but I want a kayak that is reliable. What do you recommend??

[@larrybusch6890]

Thank you Yak Pak Enjoyed this informative video Let’s Go Dudes!!!!!

[@slantedbolt4680]

I miss these style videos from you man.

[@GheenoeLifeLT25]

Nice content man! Just subscribed. I also have the topwater 120 pdl. Love that yak!

[@FishingWithYakPak]

Editing a video from fishing with it in the Florida swamps earlier today. This yak is awesome! Thanks for watching 👊🏼😁

[@rob_225]

I'm looking at getting my first kayak. Do you have any thoughts on the ascend 12t?

[@jerrynowicki1349]

Rod leashes and a paddle leash can be important in case you fall in

[@gqbjjmma3032]

Thank you it all helps don’t pay attention to ppl

[@deejaymcgehe9884]

Oh wow you’re in Jupiter! So lucky, there’s a million ponds all around you!!

[@FishingWithYakPak]

Literally a million lol!

[@deejaymcgehe9884]

I’d be in hoooogggg heaven

[@ccubsfan94]

Make a system, in the pilot world we call it building your nest. Put everything and cockpit setup the same everytime.

[@CrucesNomad1]

1. I needed a wider kayak, falling out of skinny kayaks is no fun getting back in if I could at all as a fat man. 2. I keep it simple, and see no need for 12 poles. 3. video came hard to follow.

[@packinaglock]

I think I might have been in there fishing before. Are you fishing in Jupiter (Intercoastal) around a mile North of PGA Blvd? EDIT: Now that I think about it, it might be just North of Indiantown road.

[@doglikereflexes5484]

My sit on old town dirgo 106 kayak weighs 40lbs my Hobie Outback goes 102lbs so weight may be a big factor for some.

[@Father-Daddy]

My brain always ruins those shots where they leave the camera behind like I think about how they cut the footage and have to walk back to get the camera like that shit ain’t Thor’s hammer bro

[@victorfausto360]

Good Video Bro. Thank you From Houston TX

[@johnpuckett899]

Hey, man, how do you like your old town I have a top water 120 but it is a non pedal drive

[@FishingWithYakPak]

I absolutely love it. Especially with the pedal drive system.

[@METALDETECTING12]

Nice Job what part of Florida are you in.

[@robbeetz6140]

PFD most important I always wear it now since I flipped my yak if it wasn’t for the guy I was going to help with pliers to get the hook out I wouldn’t be here today to watch the awesome videos I had to hold on to his kayak so he could bring me to shallow water where I could stand up

[@YakLocal]

Great tips!

[@timboslice1986]

Super helpful, looking into getting a kayak unfortunately I want the one lojo has so....yeah...lol $$$....its coming though!....question: do you know how I can get the fishing tag measuring aperatice without Instagram? I've tried from the app but can't figure it out...

[@derekbushnell1309]

PFD. A must. Yep.

[@haydenmanson7660]

Hey man i was just wanting to know what saltwater setup You use??

[@chrisgroves1539]

Remember kids pfd saves lives,mine is in my truck.

[@NUCKINFUTS4LIFE]

Great video. Only advice is that someone can drown in a puddle doesn’t have to be deep water.

[@travisbrown1893]

jim wright I never heard of anyone drowning in a puddle. Have u?

[@jasonglover5989]

Always bring your paddle no matter how your kayak is powered (pedal, troller motor etc.) if your drive system fails, you’ll need ol’reliable

[@G1Fishing]

Awesome video buddy

[@chucksmith5002]

But also Florida Law says you are to have a PFD in your boat when in use doesn`t matter how deep the water is or what kind of boat your in . And it doesn`t do you any good if it is left in your vehicle . I subbed so i can see what your comment will be . And yes I do have a Kayak it`s a Jackson Big Rig and I love it . # 6 Carry a Flag on a pole so other boaters namely Power Boats can see you better .

[@FishingWithYakPak]

Love that tip! The flag & pole to keep you visible to big boats is a definite must have!
