+Nestor Nazario Oh wow.Thanks alot.I was looking into a sheet of formable foam.The foam is inexpensive but for some reason costs a fortune to ship through the mail.I never even thought of this product and never seen it at Dicks.I will definitely look into this.
Marty! I'm getting a kayak for Christmas and I'm going to fish in it all cause of you. All your content has urged me to get one, Thanks! Love from Australia!!
+zoffinger Hey Marty, i'm sure we live in the city, and if i ever see i'll male sure to approach you. i've learned so many things from all your videos that i always put them to good use. Thanks for all you do man.
It's 23:00 hrs and I just happened upon your channel, and I'm really enjoying your"Simple Kayak Fishing" videos. Thank you for your gentle release of the fishes. Shalom shalom
Zoff man all the camera angles is incredible.. thank you for all the hard work and time it takes to make these videos... ive enjoyed so many of your videos..
Absolutely Loved this video!!! This is exactly how my fishing addiction began! Everything in this video really resonated with me, and for anyone else out there watching this is the beginning to one of the best hobbies!
marty, you camera work is better than most professionals. I really wish Animal Planet or Nat Geo would give you a show. Or at least a special. If you could do this on your own, I can only imagine the work of art you could create with a crew under your command. Keep these coming!
I do have to say myself, I am very happy in my decision to buy a kayak. I was inspired by you, along with other you tubers to buy a kayak, and then make things and modify it. Kayaks are cheap, fun, and easy to store and transport. Highly recommend you get one.
started watching your videos about a month ago. just got my first fishing kayak. up in NE, sun going to be 50°,will go give it my first shot. thanks for your videos I enjoy them.
Marty, I think its great that you are getting sponsored by Pelican. Your videos are "Top Shelf" and you are a great promoter of Kayak fishing. I can see the day come when you have 80,000 subscribers. I am unable to use a Kayak do to both knees being not what they should. But I have the Pelican 10E with 4hp Tohatsu 4 stroke and 45lb Riptide Minn Kota and I really love the boat and how stable it is. Hopefully Pelican International will come up with a propulsion system like the Hobie has eventually and I think it will increase sales. Keep Paddling and Enjoying the the west coast area where you are. I am over in the Sebastian area across the state and alot of kayakers over here.
This vid takes me back to your older days when you first began. Back to basics! Simple is always best I say. Down here in Texas we call it the Texas shuffle to keep them stingrays away. Tight lines Amigo!
Marty as a after thought. One thing I would like to mention to you as food for thought. When your easing through the mangroves and its near impossible to cast your bait do to the close proximity of the over hanging mangroves . Consider learning a technique I use called "Shooting a Jig" for no better description. Its pretty simple. Since your a right hand caster. Take a 1/8-1/4 jighead and shrimp tout or curly tail. Hold the jig head at the knot, load the rod (pulling back like your shooting a bow) point the rod in the proper direction and release the jig and the line at the bail at the same time. Practice it in the yard or off the dock till your proficient. You can shoot a jig 15-20 yds once you get the technique down and fish under all those mangroves and you will be very pleased with the outcome.
You just got a new subscriber buddy. Love the simplicity of this. It's all a matter of enjoying Yu ourself out there. no need for all the bells and whistles. Just go fish. Awesome video!
Yeah Marty, pilchards and greenbacks are the same batfish. Nice video as always. Some healthy looking little snook, hope this cold front doesn't mess em up too bad. Tight lines.
So true...I'm a simple man that loves kayak fishing and I have a simple inexpensive kayak. I still get to the same spots that's my buddies get to with their expensive kayaks and catch the same amount of fish or even out fish them. It doesn't matter in what you get there as long as you get there and have fun.
We got a lot of big snappers right now with the water temp finally dropping below 75° here in Miami. These next 3 months are the best time of the year to be out in the Yak.. tight lines everybody
Nice one Marty!!! For the future, how about another crab collecting video followed by some sheepshead from the main boat and topped off with you grilling them aboard on a BBQ grill? Maybe invite your buddy and his son who took you fishing in their boat?? Honestly though, I happy with whatever comes out of the Zoffinger stable. Keep up the fantastic work. Merry Christmas and the happiest of new years for you too mate :)
enjoyed the video thanks for the good content and keep up the great work, I have always fished out of a bay boat, but I work in the oil feild and with the recent and sustained decline of oil prices I had to sale my bay boat about 8 months ago and have to downsize, and I dint even think about a kayak until I stumbled upon your channel and now I have decided to give it a shot and save up for a reasonably priced kayak so thanks for that.
wow, man I really love the videos you make. teach me a lot about kayak fishing. I just got one last week but haven't put it in the lake yet. I loved the sunset in this video and the sound of the birds in the background, that was great. keep up the good work.
My first fishing kayak was a Pelican Pursuit 100(10ft recreational sit in with no rod holders whatsoever). I caught a ton of fish out of it before upgrading last year.
something you said not to long ago has realy stuck with me. the gift from pelican prompted lots of negative post about the hobie. i was going to save up for one. currently i have a 12'6 ascend realy is a nice yak and i still have my first one a ten foot pescadore. both get the job done. You stated in your video what ever kayak gets you on the water is the best kayak. since i heard that it has realy resounded with me because it is so true.now my focus is going to be on learning how to make great you tube videos. have to save up for a good computer and buy some software that supports multi camera. by the way great job incorporating multicam editing in your videos . love em. look forward to many more from you.
excellent video, I would like to add "if there's a will, there's a way." I'm in a wheelchair and while visiting my uncle, I used one of kayaks that's not even designed for fishing at all. but I just took a baggy of tackle and my light action rod and managed just fine. not as convenient as having rod holders, but it can be done. the hardest part was positioning the fish in a way that I could grab it.
I'm kicking around the concept of kayak fishing, but not sure. I have a 16 ft skiff that I rarely use because I'm always busy. But your videos are informative and tempting me. I was considering a pedal kayak like a Pescadore. Thanks for the great videos! You really got me thinking!
Great video Marty, I'd like to see how you clean your equipment like rod and reels or the care of a yak and tools. New people to fishing can probably learn from this.
Hey Marty, looks like this was done in a few different locations. I know those areas, I fish the same spots! Definitely great spots to take the kayak. Still waiting for the day I might run into you out there. I won't give out our "secret" spots. It's always a great day on the water! Tight lines!
Keep on making videos their awesome! I watch them all day long, I live in the Tampa area and I go kayak fishing and in my opinion it's a lot more fun in one than a boat. I'll also be on look out for that rock pile, see if I can catch me some big boys.
awesome video man I always wanted a kayak and watching ur videos sold me lol once u get out of the water in a kayak there's no going back to siting on the bank. keep up the awesome videos man
Super Great Video...Great Catches....Oh using the bait well like a sail drag was great idea LOL (sail drag - towed by a vessel through the water in order to keep her head to the wind or to prevent drifting; - called also drift sail, drag sheet, drag anchor, sea anchor, floating anchor)....have fun while we are all stuck indoors for the winter....
Thanks, Marty. Folks, it really is that uncomplicated. Freshwater or salt, all you need is a simple 'yak and the fishing gear you already own. You can start with a $300 10' kayak from Walmart and have all the tranquility - and excitement - that Marty has. Via con Tiki, Marty.
Marty, been following for a while, I just want to say THANK YOU for being such a humble person. You have personally made me start to get into kayak fishing. I will be moving to Florida very soon, grew up in tarpon springs but will be moving to Bradenton. How is the stability with this craft? I have been looking into a "perception striker 115 angler kayak". Again thanks for being such a great ambassador to this hobby and for being very so incredibly humble. Your a great guy and hope to meet you one day.
You are getting to be very creative with the camera and it makes your flicks unique…I know it's a bit-o-trouble but as time passes it'll be second nature to you and will become less arduous. Your editing…well…top notch also! charlie
Dang it must be fun fishing for sheep head because over here in Washington we get salmon and trout and no tropical fish lucky for me I'm probably gonna go to Tampa this summer 😀
this gets a big you sssuuuuucccckkkk! which of course is a term of endearment, and a very high complement! Congrats on all you do and happy holidays... yea we've got a foot of snow in the front yard.
Good video, will be making some UK kayak videos too in the near future but wish we had more places to use them (alot of the lakes around here dont let you) Loved the ending btw, could of gone to sleep :D
+zoffinger I live on tampa bay and you are usually only about a mile from my house in your videos and it seems cool that I have fished in some of the same places as Marty Zoffinger
Great video Marty! Promoting the sport and encouraging others!!! Question though from an avid fresh water fisherman. What other safety recommendations, such as dragging your feet to avoid Rays, would you give for those like me that have never fished salt water/inland fishing. No recommendations are silly because I've wet a hook once in my life in salt water and that was from a dry boat!
Hi there.. great video .like your edition very well made. I am saving from a month a go to get a enforcer 120x from pelican or a catch 120. that the way I like to go fishing very simple and on the basic. thank you . Zoffinger
Nice clip man, i have a kayak and i love fishing, whit kayak and in the coast, or any boat, you are a big fisher and i like so much your videos, UPUP have a nice christmas!! sorry my inglish is very bad, i now ;P
Nice looking kayak has everything a fisherman needs on it,,,,, I have an Ocean kayak and this one has all that mine has but costs half. If I had to do it again hmmm.
As a suggestion, do you ever go inland and fish for Florida Hybird Bass? My Uncle bought some for our lake in Mississippi and they have grown huge. Love to see you hook one with some lite tackle. Kept up the good work.
Hey. Was wondering if you'd be interested in doing a video on not only mandatory safety gear but also include a few suggestions of your own from personal experience? I'm getting a kayak soon and i'm not too sure what the bare basics are for safety
A fun video with a straightforward message, Marty. Great job.

+368engbn thats why you shouldn't go cheap on your kayak, get what you pay for
Meh.I get what I can afford.I like my yak.I'll find a way to cushion the ride.

This is the true essence of yak fishing: minimum gear and maximum fun. Good video, great message.

You are very gifted at sharing something you love! Keep up the good work.

Marty, thanks for including the fish types and eating info.
Great vid Marty! It makes me want to try kayak fishing a little bit more next year
Great video Marty, I'd like to see how you clean your equipment like rod and reels or the care of a yak and tools. New people to fishing can probably learn from this.
Another good one !!! What do I want to see ? Catching fish, gathering bait, cooking fish, your house boat !! Thanks again for sharing, Happy Holidays/

That is pretty awesome I have been fishing down at double branch and Phillipe park. I'am looking to get a new stand up kayak

Kayak fishing can definitely be a pain in the ass sometimes but when the weather is fair it is nice
i like this kayak it has all i need. i'm getting one, thanks marty
Looks fun fishing with that light tackle
Marty, been following for a while, I just want to say THANK YOU for being such a humble person. You have personally made me start to get into kayak fishing.

Hmmm strikingly similar to the pelican strike 120x angler. Good review!
Hey zoffinger I love your vids it is nothing like the other fishing shows when are u going to take to boat out we would all love to see that
Carbs are in the shop now. Getting batteries next. Then gas. Then...well, we'll see.
That Kayak is exactly like my Pelican Strike 120 Angler.
Hey. Was wondering if you'd be interested in doing a video on not only mandatory safety gear but also include a few suggestions of your own from personal experience? I'm getting a kayak soon and i'm not too sure what the bare basics are for safety
