- First kayak fishing trip of 2023 on the Western South shore of Long Island. Managed to land a handful of bass ranging from 20" to 31" using an EliasV Mackinaw Shad worked with pauses in the retrieve. The diving birds gave away locations of actively feeding fish. It appeared that the fish were feeding on small bay herring. Started fishing around 2 hours after high tide.
Kayak - Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL
Lure Used - EliasVFishing Mackinaw Shad in Olive/Silver pattern
Rod - St Croix Mojo Bass 7' Medium Heavy Fast (freshwater MJS71MHF)
Reel - Penn Spinfisher 2500 w/ Berkley 15# x9 Braid
Gopro in the rear and Sony Action Cam on bow
Great job! Awesome content.
Thank you, appreciate the support!
Nice video. Keep it coming. Voice over has a Jonny Skinner feel to it 👍
Thank you sir! With all the wind noise from that day i had to do the voice over, but i think i'll stick to that pattern as it seems like a good way to narrate
Launching right behind Vetro !! Very cool.
Thanks Kirk, been a while since i launched there but its a pretty convenient spot when parking is open
Nice
Good stuff. Fellow fisherman & kayaker from RI here 🙋🏻
Wanted to ask after watching...you ever think about upgrading the reel handle/knob to a power knob? You left hand was all over the place on that Spinfisher bro! Crazy slippin' & slidin' 😅 Power knob is much better, IMO.
Love the 2x4 mod to the beach wheels to keep the 'yak aligned while rolling to the launch spot👌🏼
Hey man, thanks. I haven’t thought about upgrading the reel handles on my spinning gear, never really noticed a problem!
Great content, you had a good day out there. Keep ‘em coming!
Thanks, will do!
Good Stuff! Quite the setup you got there! Keep ‘em coming!
Thanks man!
Your kayak twin on its maiden voyage for a few hours behind vetros … Saturday conditions were horrible but wanted to see how it handle
i bet it did pretty well even in that wind tho, right? they are so stable man. Was there any bait around?
@@CityLineOutdoors there were bunker in the channel real deep right but the dock by vetros … white caps and 15+ mph winds keep me close 👍
Do you feel safe on that kayak when big boats go by? I want to get a kayak but am a bit nervous
Awesome video! Felt like I was along for the trip. Can you tell me what kind of boat that is and what all modifications you have on it?
Nevermind, just saw the model in the description. Nice rig!
Thanks! The boat is an Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL. I’ve done quite a bit of work on it over the winter, some of the big changes for this season were raising the seat up 2” in the rear and 1” in the front, swapping out the factory pedals for some mountain bike pedals, and putting a new electrical system in and through the hull. I may do a video in the future walking through the kayak setup itself
What were the other rods rigged with that you had on your boat?
I had one with a tube and worm rig for trolling and another with a small topwater spook, had another ultralight setup on the boat that wasn't rigged. Trolled for a few minutes until i saw the birds then i just threw the swim shad
Great video my man !!! ... I own the same kayak in orange but the AP version of the old town 120 and I launch on the other side closer to the handball/basketball side. Maybe we will run into each other this year. Good luck and keep catching
Thanks John, hope to see you out there! I fish all over Jamaica bay and western sound. I'll be looking out for your boat
@@CityLineOutdoors it’ll be easy to spot since our kayaks are twins 😂

@@rcnmasterplumber thats awesome man, maybe we will bump into each other on the water. Hobies are nice boats, i was between the old town and hobie when i bought my kayak last summer
Great fishin! What brand line are you running and what lb test? Im trying out a braid from reaction tackle off of Amazon this year.
Thanks man, i have this reel spooled with 15 pound berkley x9 braid, first time using this line personally. Seemed to preform as expected and didnt give me trouble with wind knots.
