yes.

I actually have more issues on the Siuslaw with other boats when we are out in my 16' light weight all electric PB compared to my Outback. The kayak just ignores boat wakes, my PB gets tossed around by them. I do only fish weekdays but powerboats don't give a crap about other powerboats that are trying to fish but almost all of them give kayaks a bit of consideration. And given that the first 2 days out this year we have put 3 coho and 1 chinook on the ePB, all smiles for us this year!

nope, I would love to see if someone has tried that with these T200 thrusters. what I really wish was to find a low cost, without building it myself, 18v LiFePO4 battery, that adds like 30% thrust to these T200s. Or maybe I need to looks for a 24v controller that would run these.

lots of people do, size 4 and 5, I mostly use old in-line spinners from Worden's (Yakima Bait) called Vibric rooster tail, 3/8 and 1/2oz. gold blade/orange body "Bad Boy" is my top one, especially on cloudy days, silver blade/pink body second best and top on sunny days.

the drive adds almost zero drag to the Outback when I am not pedaling, I get the same top speed with it removed or installed and I'm not pedaling. part of this is probably the new Outback design has the drive tucked up into the hull a bit more than earlier hull designs, basically just the fins coming out the bottom. pedaling definitely adds to my speed, I can go from 4.1mph thrusters only to 5mph with strong pedaling and burst to 6mph.

I did see some flex as I turned up the power but not too much and it was steady, didn't flex back and forth. However, I finally got my second thruster repaired (got a new outer housing from Blue Robotics for $20) and so I have a new 2 thruster side mount made from 1.5x0.125" Aluminum bar from Home Depot. If you look carefully, I have added a thin/strong line to counteract the forward flex when I turn up the thrust now. Hopefully these images post: imgur.com/a/10Iw7tr imgur.com/a/ix6wuPw

@@RogerEmigh very helpful. I need mine to be retractable when I go into shallow waters, so this gives me a lot of ideas. I like the pvc because it's lighter than the aluminum setup. If the flex isn't bad, I think I'll try that first since it also gives me the flexibility to get the thrusters out of the way when needed.

agreed and I do have a head mount but it's been missing in my fishing/kayaking gear chaos for over a year, plus winter steelhead is my only bank fishing, the rest of the time the GoPro is on the 3' tall mount on the kayak. I have retired my original GoPro battery that started dying mid-fish and am only using the 2 news batteries that I have.

I highly recommend kayak fishing (obviously), I started in 2013, Siuslaw river and local lakes, made my first ocean trip out of Sunset Bay in March 2016. Up your way, most people either beach launch at Pacific City or shoot out of Depot Bay. I'm not going to be much help on lower cost kayaks, not if you are going to hit big water. I only know Hobie pedal drive and most people consider the Hobie Compass to be the entry level for ocean fishing. I highly recommend spending time at Northwestkayakanglers.com, you can easily get more kayak recommendations from members there.

@@RogerEmigh Do you wear a dry suit or waders when your in a kayak?

dry suit- Kokatat SuperNova Angler, love it.@@vansicklejerry

Radio?

nope.

@@RogerEmigh aarg:).... whats your guess? 🙃

Nice fish though looks fun in the yak

a couple of reasons- I have my kayak rigged so that I do all my big fish netting on the left side, nothing mounted on that side in the way and if you try that side with net in right hand, you are coming across and down in front of you, not sweeping up the side of the kayak like I do with my left hand. also, to control the fish better and pull it towards the net, I like to grab the rod up just behind the first guide, so I do that with right hand that was on the reel handle, let go with my left and grab the net. also, I'm left handed.

based on this forecast, if not this week, that next bump starting Nov1 is going to light things up: www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/river/station/flowplot/flowplot.cgi?MPLO3

I released a 15" coho there last week. I'm pulling the trigger on a brand new Hobie or Old town this week before the real action starts!

A friend here in town just turned me on to your channel. So now I’m a new subscriber and living here in Florence with my old Ocean Kayak plastic battleship sit on top. I’m working a lot for now but your video’s are inspiring me to set some time aside to get out on the water more often to wet a line. Keep the great videos coming

Saw ya out there! Awesome you caught one. We were there the past three mornings. No such luck. Caught a lot of sea runs and one giannnnnt perch

@@richrobinson202 how big of sea runs? And whereabouts were the giant perch?

Nope, just 3' of 15# ultra green leader.

what's your trolling speed? @@RogerEmigh

about 2.2mph for the Wigglers. @@briancannon6676

That was great, hope you find some lake coho to play with this year!

exactly, I like 7' to 8.5' on the kayak, M is perfect for these coho, MH also, 15# leader is fine, Ultragreen or CXX is my choice, no reason for flouro.

oh boy, the hedgehogs I got are fantastic, also some real nice king boletes.

check the video and other comments, I think they have all been identified.

@@RogerEmigh which model thrusters did you use, T200 or T500? Thanks

T200

@@RogerEmigh Okay great thanks. Did you end up finding a solution to prevent seaweed from stopping the motors?

the solution I ended up with is moving it to the side where I can pull it up and clear it. th-cam.com/video/ZFN9fYJF5vw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UAiiTaX87wq4s-N2
