Took my boys for another evening of kayak bass fishing on a local watershed. We hit up some beaver dams where they like to hang when it's HOT.
Smallies are so beautiful!!!❤️

Awesome setup man! I have the same kayak and I'm deciding to make the switch to trolling motor, couple of quick questions for you. Can you go all day using the trolling motor on that battery? What kind of speeds are you getting with the watersnake?
@@baseballgod103 yes, I've not killed it yet on the water. I get 2 mph on low and 3.5-3.6 on high.
@@baseballgod103 from my calculations, to totally deplete battery, I'd have to run it 6 hours straight on high and 2.5 on low. But as usual, when you are fishing, it's on and off and on and off to fish. I've had it in the river all day fishing around it and never killed it yet
Thanks for the upload. I would like to ask how long do have the yak and is the seat still like it was new.asking because it’s a lot of aluminium there and my concern is it’s durable?
@@koba_one I've had for 2 years and it's still in fantastic shape.
Awesome catch& release ,someone's having a great day.😅
15 minutes into our 8 mile float, it was awesome.
Where about is the landing at? Does it have a name? I keep seeing it in videos that say it’s Grayson county
Coming up that way this weekend. Floating down the river sat North of fries from Riverside boat ramp to ramp at Patton Mill Lane. I know I've seen you fish that area before. Any pointers? We're fishing from a canoe with paddles only.
@@42captjoey yeah, that's one our main floats. Riverside to Old Town. Senkos texposed weightless has been fire for us. Fish eddies and calm areas before and after rocks/rapids (there are enough major rapids on this float).
Didn’t you mama teach you to go in when it rains?
Right lol!
Looks a little like Ivanhoe to Austinville?
@@Scott-rq9gv close, but not this float
Nice sharing 👍👍 fish on
Nice catches man!
Thanks!!!
That is what you got to love about Crank bait .
Good video man. Always a good day on the water when you are catching them. I have a question buddy? What kind of sandals are you wearing? I have big & very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 sz15 6E wide ( which is very very extremely wide feet 🦶 ) with very very chubby fat wide toes that are Evenly straight across making my foot very very Extremely wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe & my foot outgrow shoes , socks , & boots when I was young & Flip flops 🩴is the only footwear that will barely and I mean barely fit on my feet 🦶 because my toes are wider than the flip flops 🩴 straps. I have to kayak 🛶 barefooted 👣 because I don't want to break the only footwear that will barely fit me. I am looking for some good comfortable sandals to wear for kayaking 🛶 because I am a chubby fat dude & sometimes I have to walk my kayak 🛶 in low water over rivers rocks barefooted 👣. I appreciate your opinion & help. Good video buddy thanks you for sharing this video & have a good weekend buddy.

@@bassaholicfishing Thanks you so much for the information man. I really appreciate that. I like the colors on your sandals too. One more question are they true to size? Do I need to order a size up or down to fit good ?
@@mackjenkins7721 I wear a 9.5 and have to wear a 9. Mine are the special NRS ones
@@bassaholicfishing oh OK Thanks you so much for your help. I really do appreciate it so much. I hearing that they make them in wide width for people like me who have very wide feet 🦶 so I am looking for a pair so that I don't have to walk in the water over top of the rock barefooted 👣 with my chubby fat wide feet 🦶 & toes that I have. "LOL" Thanks you again so much for your help buddy.
Awesome memories with the boys. Cracked me up when he said where’s my $20 bucks 😂😂
Haha right!
Small or big, fish on the water is always a good day . Nice one bud
Yessir!
What's the cost of a full setup like that if you don't mind me asking.
Kayak: $1200 Motor: $130 55AH Lithium Battery $250-$500 Motor Bracket: $140 Fishing Crate: $140 Anchor Wizard $120 OTWI kayak Trailer :$5000
It's taken us a few years to accumulate all this though
Yes I will probably end up taking my time as well. I've been doing research on kayaks and I keep coming back to the lure. I really like it. And I've seen videos of people modifying that center console to install a trolling motor. I didn't know there was something already created for an easy install. Makes me want it even more lol
yakgadget.com/collections/trolling-motor-mounts/products/quickmount-pod-lure-direct
You do have to have the Feelfree rudder with the motor if you put it in middle console. It doesn't turn well just using motor. The rudder makes it handsfree too
Yup set the hook so fucking hard
I lost a bunch of BIG fish in April not setting hook hard enough. Not making that mistake again. This Lake holds really big fish as well, I just didn't catch them today LOL
Cool, thanks
what trolling motor set up with the Feelfree? thanks
Watersnake T24 paired with a YakGadget pod mount for the Feelfrees Lure. Powered by a Dakota Lithium 54AH in the hatch
I have a video on my playlist of the kayak setup
One of my favorite places!
This is the exact rig I will be looking for in the future and as a Vet I would love to support another. 3 questions if you dont mind answering. What is the tube on the top for? How much does this rig weigh unloaded? How much weight can this rig support?
Tube thing is a Rod Locker/Tube. According to spec page, it weighs 750ish. I'm able to push it around my yard, but it pulls AWESOME. not bouncy. No clue on weight capacity. It holds 5-6 of my kayaks great
I have a feel free lure 11.5 kayak and I love it
💪🏻
Can you please tell me where this ramp is? I am looking to move to Galax and would reall like to know. Very nice small mouth catches, thanks for any help.
Old Town
Thanks
You realize that a double paddle holder will hold the ketch board correct? Don't get me wrong over engineering can be a good thing, but you're talking about $100 plus down time of waiting.
Then buy the double paddle holder lol. To each is his own
@@bassaholicfishing no hate here with doing it that way. I'm just saying there is another option. I have over engineered several things in my life. I just like to keep it simple nowadays.
@@kevinpitts3548 yeah I just don't like the rotogrip for the ketch board.
How far does the motor stick out on the bottom?
Um I can fully pull it up into the recess on bottom of the Lure recess. If I deploy it all the way down for use, it can stick down a good 12" or more
Exactly why I ditched level wind for spinning too much lost time on the water and I believe I catch more.
I hear ya! This rarely happens to me anymore, in this case my braid to fluoro knot caught an eyelet and caused it 😂. Still makes me madder than 🔥 when it happens lol
I have the same kayak and motor , Just done a little different . I have 2 downriggers i use with it . I also run 2 fishfinders if running downriggers. The first fish finder is rigged to the bow . i used it as fish finder , but mainly depthfinder for motor . second fishfinder is just used with the downriggers . I have a anchor trolley on each side with quick releases just incase .
Awesome! Its been a dependable setup
@@bassaholicfishing , I have been running with my set up for 5 seasons now . I wish i had done it when i first bought the kayak in 2016 .
It definitely makes it easier and what I love about it is when I want to go lightweight, I just put the pod in and leave motor at home
@@bassaholicfishing , I have a extra pod to put in when not using motor .

Linda, use your thumb on the edge of the spool and control the spool while you are casting, and also cast more smoothly and control your bloody temper
A knot caught an eye and it's a voice over lol
Nice catch sir
Thank you!!
Definitely not a St. Croix
Naw lol
You pulled too hard
Yup. Unfortunately
Perfectly clean break. Definitely covered with the limited life warranty.
I'm not sure! It may be.
Rookie 😂😂😂
I know right! Sometimes I surprise myself 😂
That’s why I always have a spare rod handy when I go out. Still sucks though because it’s usually your favorite rod. Must have been a monster!
Yeah a monster ROCK 😂. I had 4 other rods to use 😂😂😂
It's called adjust your drag. 🤡
Hates when that happens 😢
Already got a replacement 😂
@@bassaholicfishing there is nothing wrong with keeping an extra fishing rod on hand
@@shadowwolf9329 right!
That’s why your rod broke…..
That's right 😂!
Daaaang
Yuuuup
Snag on a fractured rod
Yeah, must have been the monsters I caught on it the previous trip 😂
That’s huge! How much did it weigh?
We didn't have a scale on us but based on its lengths and girth around 6 lb
Very nice
😀
Excellent fish my personal best is 7.5 lb Largemouth caught in CT.
That's awesome! I didn't have my scale on me that day. But I know it was my PB lol! It was like 22" long
Fuck that
Haha, if you go to that video, you will see why I didn't say "fuck that" hahaha! 12 Smallies that day with biggest being 19". But I broke a rudder cables, lost a crankbait and had to wash thick mud off of my kayak lol. Worth it
@@bassaholicfishing we fish for monster cats in the fresh, and sharks in the salt where I'm at. Congrats on that catch
That's awesome!
I think everyone who has finished for a while has this happen once in a while. You are targeting a certain spot, have a bad cast, so you start ripping it back in and wham! Out of nowhere, a fish smashes your lure. The best is when it happens right at your feet or the boat and scares you. 👍good job, dude, and good fish, too!
Haha yep! The knot in the braid-fluoro caught one of the eyes and it PLOPPED. went to reel and there was a dang fish on
That bassaholic hoodie badazz Definitely will check it out. Great video bud.
Thanks! I also got your bracket in today from vendor, going out this week!
Great walk-through review of a beautifully designed and built trailer!
Thank you!
I'll be posting a video up this year of my feel free lure 11.5. With a through hull autoboat setup. Spotlock, waypoint nav etc
There ya go
Dude this is a once in a lifetime experience!
Yessir!
This is 10 minutes from my house! Excellent bass fishing. I have cought some very nice bass here. Lov9ng the videos keep it up man
Oh yeah, monster bass live here. Check out the "2 days of bass fishing heaven" video. That's the same place. BIG fish for 2 days straight
@bassaholicfishing sweet will do. I'm watching all your videos bro. I have a native slayer 12 with a trolling motor on the back you think that would be ok on that new river spot?
@@mystoryhisglory9438 by all means it will.
@@bassaholicfishing sweet. Maybe I'll see you out there sometime! Tight lines bro
@@mystoryhisglory9438 I've been recognized already 😂
Have you ever fished below fries dam? Some good smallies down there as well!
I have but haven't had much luck yet. ive only fished below it a handful of times though.
@bassaholicfishing got you. I plan on trying to put the kayak in and try above, I've been thinking about it for several years just never have! I appreciate the content and look foward to more bro!
@@mystoryhisglory9438 yessir! I got this thing called work that gets in my way of going more 😂. Hopefully I can go soon to put out another video
Curious, is this going toward thw dam or bridge?.
Dam
