My New Fishing Getaway

The Pelican Getaway seemed mediocre at first glance, until I tried it. Stable, lightweight, fast and maneuverable, this kayak, which I'm told is NOT meant for fishing, quickly became one of my favorite vessels Pelican has to offer. Obviously, it was designed to eventually be outfitted with flush mount rod holders and there are other spots seemingly meant to nestle the tools of the fisherman, but it has been thus far marketed as a 'recreational' S.U.P. Kayak hybrid by it's creators. Far as I'm concerned, I found that even with zero DIY'ing, the Getaway easily comes in as one of the best fishing platforms I have ever paddled on the water. And to sweeten the deal, it comes with a HyDrive. Many years ago, I fell in love with a 'fin' style, foot propelled kayak. And now, I have one built into a boat that fits me like a glove.

[@lgrw1324]

[@keithwolf2317]

Awesome stuff Marty

[@cliffs49]

Very nice and have watched most of you videos over the years, and couldn’t figure out how to comment because didn’t know password for YT to sign in ,I’m 74 and need in vero beach last 10years since I retired, and now better half wants to move back to NC, to Morehead where, her two grand kids are and so will be moving at end of this month, it’s also good fishing there but not 29 beaches in a /0 minute drive from where we are now, love your early videos on modifying the small hacks, have learned a lot from your videos, thanks

I caught my first Jack out of my kayak, just past the jetties in Panama City Beach. It pulled me about 1/2 mile before I landed it. As a guy from Kentucky, I had never felt a fish pull so hard.

[@babyodin8449]

Can you put the catch mode 110 booster seat on this?

[@NoCoverCharge]

I lost you for a while .. found you again ! Nice

[@yakncast7530]

👍🏼👍🏼Morning fish pilates! 🤣🤣

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

Hey Marty, in my whole life I never saw a crooked SNOOK before. That sure is a nice kayak. I think you're going to have it for a long time.

[@YTFishingKif]

Waw waw waw mantap sekali spot mancing nya broo😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Mrspinout007]

I wish they held just a bit more weight. I’m 250-260 without gear. A 12’ version would probably be perfect for bigger guys!

[@FrankLadd]

I really like trolling. Lately it has been a rattle trap in deep water and a weedless paddle tail in shallow water.

[@lisacurran3599]

Love this Kayak 😮nice Jack 😎 good fighter’s

[@Charsept]

It's like a baby skiff or something. Really cool design. Those hy-drive/pedal drive systems really are the future.

[@tollesbury1]

Awesome kayak and an awesome fish. Well done Marty. 👍🐟👍🐟

[@lagoonaticfishing4057]

Been thinking alot about those Getaways. Maybe if they came with the Catch Mode seat I'd get one right now! That Snook was certainly looking a bit bent out of shape huh?

[@waltermyers7812]

Why get a new getaway? Wanted to try out new mod ideas or did your other getaway have issues? Thought your other getaway was awesome lol

[@CLCIII]

Good to see you catching fish and enjoying life! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

[@sharonhalverson8875]

Great share, great fishing, thank you. My 13yr old boy (dog) Billy is lumpy too

[@davidutley619]

another awsome trip marty....keep them coming...

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

Jacks sure let you know who is boss. They make for a great sleigh ride. Nice!!

[@vizibug]

how bout another cable n lever to extend and retract the rudder?..from the seat?.

[@gilgilmore178]

are you renting boats again need info.

[@moretoliving2236]

Ohh learn something new today. I always thought you were throwing them head first into water so it looks fancy but actually there is a science behind that. Great sport fishing stewardship!

[@truenaturestormers2525]

Yes that was a lot of fun, so good to see ya.

[@alejandrospinelli6255]

Desde Argentina le envío un cordial saludo. Y gracias por la docencia

[@jean-yveslefebvre6446]

I know Marty you will do fix that kayak better than it is now ! I have a question do Pelican take your advise in consideration for upgrade there kayak? Marty keep up the good work!

[@carllynn2150]

Yea! No but light , you embody freedom, great Americans are ready for prepandemic fun.

[@runninginflipflops4709]

I’ve seen some fish with some bent spines before. The first time I saw it, it caught me off guard because I didn’t know that fish could get scoliosis or kyphosis.

[@ronengland9761]

Can't imagine you having a perfectly good Pelican and deciding to make modifications 🤣There soon will be a hole somewhere. Update!

[@ReddVoidd_]

[@SunnyIlha]

Super!

[@roush211]

I've been super busy and out of the loop. Homie still got his big boat?

[@davidcross2021]

Got a hook snook 😂

[@tonykazz2779]

Good , no drink , nice camera work , nice boat !

[@cawfeecatt1553]

I was about to say wow Hobie finally got some competition and then I realized they have a hand on those pedal drive systems with their anti-capitalist patent.

[@yakncast7530]

I could be wrong but I think the patent ran out. That's why other brands are using the system.

[@briansaben5697]

Anti-capitalist? Hobie designed it so why shouldn’t they be able to profit from it until the patent expires? That is the very definition of capitalism. What you want is called socialism.

[@cawfeecatt1553]

@@yakncast7530 I have a feeling pelican is paying a commission for using their technology
