I’m saving up a little so I can get a kayak for fishing . I live a few minutes from the lake now and really can’t wait to get out there

Hi from Scotland. I like all the 'homemade' stuff - you get exactly what you need building things yourself. I'm using the same Garmin Striker 4 - great little units. Keep the videos coming mate 👍

Excellent father!! One on one with the kid! He just loves spending time with his dad. I’m 33 and haven’t found the right girl to settle down and have kids with. I would die to have a little man by my side like that! Love your channel man!

It's the end of July, '23 and I just ordered one of these in the green off Walmart for $584 plus $50 shipping. Can't wait to get it. Great vid, tight lines.

I really appreciate you going through every individual step. Excited to watch your other videos and build the crate before my annual father/son camping trip here in 3 weeks. Great content, my dude! Subbed

Good video. I plan on doing my own kayak review soon. You gave me some good ideas. I also had a paddle kayak for several years. A lot of great times in that boat. Recently upgraded to a Native Watercraft Titan 12 peddle drive. Awsome yak for sure.

[noraaaaaaa]

Thank you so much for your sharing!! It's a great video!

[ruhruhruhruhruheisjsij]

Badass setup man, your channel is growing big time! Keep up the Grind brotha - much love fam

[Pansitooooo]

I’ve had mine for about 3 months I agree the wheel in the back of the kayak ain’t the best especially when you have your stuff set up I had to buy a cart for it

USU class of 81 here. I retired in Tennessee and I'm buying my first fishing kayak tomorrow. Just looking for ideas. Go Aggies!

Well done video! It's a great way to rig a fishing yak. I just got a ascend 128 X for my first yak. I also decided to subscribe so i can watch a few more vids. Kinda cute with the little guy with his screw driver helping out 👍🍻🇨🇦

[B.A.Bassangler]

Hi, dig your rig, if not pedaling I certainly wouldn't spend Hobie $ either. Maybe an Old Town PDL someday?
Not sure if you run into trees or low bridges like I did, but adding horizontal rod storage was my biggest game changer. If I carry 4, I'll rig so I can throw 2 or 3 quickly into their holsters. Check out YakAttack SideArm Track Mount; you can do a hi-low setup on 1 side...my next upgrade.

I’ve got that kayak and love it. I weigh 290-305 but did use when I weighed 340. Worked good even when I was heavier.

[ridder]

Great video hit the sub button! Glad I’m not the only one with wood paneling in my garage!

[getoffyoubassandletsfish]

Same kayak upgrades:

Replaced all screws and bolts with eye holes screw. They fit better and are multi use.

Wheel only lasts 2-3 years but can be replaced. If you run over a rock 🪨 STOP ✋ or you will ruin wheel.

Seat WILL BRAKE ALL APART ! Zip ties everywhere will fix broken stitches.

Don’t put anything in dry hatch it will move around and will leak because of paddle holder holes.

Paddle holder holes leak

Skupper plugs can be filled with soft golf balls. I do it under butt so don’t get splashed.

Great vid, seems like a good “bang for your buck” kayak. I have a Perception Outlaw 11.5 the word stable is an understatement! If I were to suggest my favorite mod that I think most ppl could get some use of it would definitely be the “Anchor Wizard”.

[Chad-pqqy]

Nice video. I would test out that milk crate behind your seat with some "test" items and tip over your yak in the water. I don't believe those type of bungee cords will keep it secured to the chair if jostled around upside down in water, but i could be wrong. I have fished out of second hand blemished post rental kayaks for years and have just recently increased the fleet as the kids have got older and outgrown riding in the kiddie seat on a malibu x-13. Good to have goals. I finally got myself a Old Town PDL 120 and it comes with new challenges of transporting multiple kayaks to the water. I got a trailer that i'm about to start converting it to a kayak trailer. I'm hoping by next season (i'm in the north) i'll have it ready for action and be able to hit the water alot more often than I have this year. Keep the videos rolling in. They are of good quality and content.

I have the same yak, went a different way with the seat risers tho. I used bicycle handlebar accessory bars, they're all aluminum work well but you have to super tighten them. Rather have peddle kayak as well but until then this will work.

[Angler-Owens]

I see your shirt. I'm from fayetteville nc and vacation at oak island. Just about to finally get me sea stream kayak

[kurtauerbach]

I liked the dolly u made . Especially the way it fit in the holes for stability. Now that u had ur new one can you briefly say if yours works just as well? Or was it worth buying the yak attack.
