@@andybales7318 I will definitely give them baits a shot out there again. I wish I had my fish finder to see depth and structures to give me a better picture. It has been a difficult year to get out fishing. I intend to do a camp/catch and cook there next summer. Thanks for checking out the video and look for some ice fishing camping this winter 🥶 👍

@@stevemartin6592 thanks Steve!

@@bradleecaldor6567 yes it is heavy but I did find them well built. However it is hard to beat the Crescent line or any Kayak that is built lighter and glides faster. I camp with my Kayak in rivers so the Crescent is ideal. Looking forward to another camping trip with the Crescent this weekend and a video should be posted soon. Thanks for the comment and checking out the video. 🤙

@@jklavarta53 thanks I appreciate it. Hopefully showing the difference between the two styles makes it easier for many people choosing the type of kayak that best fits their needs even if it isn’t a Feelfree or Crescent kayak. It’s been tuff to get out and I now have time to get back to kayak fishing and camping. Thanks for the subscribe 🤙

@@jdock32778 you are very correct!

And made in the U.S.A

I would most defiantly recommend it for that. I can flip my LiteTackle up over my head to throw it on a roof rack and haul it on my car but even more easy to load in a truck as I do usually. That kayak works fantastic on flat water. So far of all kayaks the LiteTackle is the most versatile to paddle and throw and go that I have used. I recommend it.

@@YakAngling Thank you for the reply! I am between the lite tackle, CK1, and Primo. Any insight or opinions you're willing to impart?

@@PhillyFanatic1 I have heard the CK1 may be a bit more stable on flat water because the kayak haul design and if that's what you fish the most I would consider it especially if you consider standing to sight fish or the need to stretch your legs a bit. Also the CK1 is a few pounds lighter. I however like the closing hatch on the LightTackle myself so ultimately it will be a hard decision but I good kayak either way.

@@YakAngling Thank you for the insight!

Thanks. Ice conditions this year are ruff and I may consider going back out there for some snow hiking, camp and fishing venture back on that location this winter.

Finding a place locally that has plastic can be difficult to find. I have found it on Ebay and search black or white Delrin or grey PVC. This same process can work with green treat wood. preventing any rot through the years is why I went with a plastics.

Yeah unfortunately I was running power off my portable battery pack to my GoPro and it came loose when fumbling around in my hatch for water where the battery pack was and it cut power off. Better luck next time I guess. Seriously the kayak camping is a blast you should do it! Looking forward to getting another run out there on the river for a winter run. The high for today in MN is 25 Degrees. Maybe do a snow camp.

@@YakAngling LOL snow camp. That would be a fun time. Maybe when my kiddos are older we can all go and have a good time haha. I carry extra cables with me - I messed up one on an outing and wasn’t able to power my GoPro anymore lol. I’ve also unplugged mine accidentally but caught it pretty quickly.

BOOYAH Poppin' Pad Crasher Topwater Bass Fishing Hollow Body Frog Lure with Weedless Hooks in the Leopard Frog color. I do trim the leg hairs back about 1/2 to 3/4 inch to keep the bite close to the body and bend hooks out just enough to catch my finger on hook when gliding finger over the back. Thanks for watching! Next year I'll try to get back out there a few more times. It's about a 1/8 mile walk down hill to that lake and coming out is exhausting but worth every cast.

Honestly I would, but for me to be able to keep locations on the down low is key to not giving up the privacy of the lakes and rivers I fish. I fish all over central and south eastern MN if that helps. Thanks for watching and Tight Lines!

Yep, unfortunately the season is changing. I'm hoping to make one more venture out there before the lilies are curled up. Upside is nice because the big ones are still hungry feeding hard before the freeze over! I will miss those topwater blow ups!

Thanks! I will be making another venture out there again.

I will definitely keep that in mind next time. I know the shore line was very steep and water was deep. I need to get my Garmin installed and map it so I can better plan it for fishing and structure. Hoping I find walleye in there too. Thanks For watch and tights lines!

Yeah I saw many bass that I never hooked up on. Next time I will go in with my Garmin to map it and locate fish deeper. The water was so clear and I hope there may be walleye in there as well. may do that on a cloudy day. Tight Lines Benonem!

Thanks! Frogs make for some of the best top water action! Can't wait to give it another go out there.

They definitely make for some fun fishing!

Yeah they make kayaking fishing easer or just being able to move you rod holder quick.

Thanks. I will say, the height on the lifting seat makes a long day on the water much easer!

Looking forward to getting back out and doing it again.

I got the plastic stock from my local hardware store. I know you can get them on Ebay. You may have to cut them to size as it may come in square stock or sheet stock. You can use delrin plastic as well if it is available.

Indeed it is nice stumbling on great fishing. Looking forward to more locations on that small river stretch. Should be posting that one as well. Thanks for checking it out!

Yeah surprisingly it didn't make a lot of news locally but it was on prime time news. Thanks for checking it out!

Yeah, it has been a tuff year with flooding waters. All we can do is hope people can stay safe and make better decisions to prevent a worst-case scenario.

I did take a chance to watch it and yeah I can see some similarities in my build, but I see similarities in many builds from others as well with different concepts. However, I used "steel EMT pipe and fittings" not "aluminum to weld permanent". As for my build it can be changed by EMT fittings. I did not use brackets to hold the sled in place on my smitty sled like he did. I used eyelets to offer a way to strap the sled to the smitty sled to prevent it frim slipping around and keeping the ice shack tight to smitty sled. I see that build was made 4 years ago by NDYAKANGLER and I doubt he was the first to build one like that. I took my ideas from my own concept. I'm a machinist by trade and my job is in design and manufacturing so it's kind of in my wheelhouse of work. I can't say I owe him a shout out for my build, however I did like his sledski to from what I saw. I do have plans to make some additional add-ons to the smitty sled that I built as it will show more reasons how mine differs from others. I hope that clears things up and thanks for checking it out. Tight lines Steve!

It works fantastic. I needed a net that can collapse for backpacking in BWCA and to pack away in my kayak. The function of the collapsing net still performs like the nylon net but I have more control of the fish as the rubber is more forgiving and causing less trauma on the fish scales and also on a trout's skin. Hand down the best decision making this conversion.

I tapped them for a 1/4 -20 thread. The threads on the machine screw bites hard in the plastic. I haven't had an issue with them coming loose at all.

Good luck and thanks for watching.

You just sparked an interest in making that as a possible addition to it. Thanks for the comment. You have me thinking now LOL!

@@YakAngling Oh be sure to make a video of it for us :D I mean even on a frozen lake without snow... you wouldn't want to pull skis as it would scrape the skis bad... would be better to pull with wheels... probably easier as well. As for the designs,,, i was watching videos from those kayakers who makes dollies for moving on land or even those small boats with flip up/down wheels, etc... i actually like something similar to what is used for skis on snowmobiles.

@@xxgg That was the same thinking I had. I guess great minds think alike!

Follow the river downstream past the old train Trestle on the south side of the river. There is a moderate inclined hike down to the water, roughly a 150 yards or so.

I love it. I’m looking to get another one for the swifter rivers. That may be the Crescent Light Tackle 2. This lure seriously has fantastic comfort with the 10” adjustable seat height and stability is amazing even for standing. I will be looking to modify a new center console for a trolling motor this winter. I would definitely recommend one.

Purchase it from my hardware store. You can also check ebay.

Yes, that's for sure. I hope to get back down there again and do my best to land on some big Browns. Thanks for watching: TIGHT LINES!

@@YakAngling during these summer months there is a lot of lazy follows but it still can happen… GOOD LUCK👍

Thanks John! I was a BLAST Trekking around the river. Will defiantly be gong back!

Terima kasih sudah menonton

Thank You. I will be making my way back out soon for some frogging on the lilies.
