I'm 66 yoa and have had numerous surgeries but that does not stop me from fishing. Your Tutorial's have helped me immensely with my kayak fishing. Thank you.
I am extremely lucky to live in a place where the state installs actual kayak launches and docks so the only time I have to mess around with launching is when I pull up on remote beaches and such. So glad I found this video for those few times though!
Recently got into kayak/fishing, have been a fisherman all my life. Was looking for paddling tips and came upon your channel. Then I just got a notification from Flukemasters channel and there you were explaining paddles. :) Will be watching more of your videos in the future, Thanks for the Great content and Tips. Fish On!
This is definitely where I see most people fall in. It’s the launching and exiting of the boat literally sometimes. It’s so funny to watch people try to do it from the dock as well I always tell them that’s not how you want to get in your kayak. Do you want to do this at the boat ramp or the shoreline
All these years I have been struggling to get on and out of a kayak just like you said. I will definitely do it your way next time. Thanks for you short video lessons.
Thanks Chad, I have recently purchased a Hobie Outback, I have started fishing with my son,He has been kayak fishing for several years,He is a great mentor. This was a great tip for a beginner. Thanks for the time spent shooting and editing these for videos!
I’m glad to see that I launch and land the proper way. I used to make the mistake of launching bow in first and landing bow first. Those concrete ramps are like cheese graters on a keel. Fortunately I learned after my first time. I learned a lot from TH-cam. Great video, thanks for the demo. Have fun out there and be safe.
I’ve watched your channel for over two years now. You helped me get started and I am thoroughly enjoying kayak fishing. Started in a feel free big fish, now in a Hobie PA. Since watching this channel, I’ve grown a lot in kayak fishing. Thanks for all the tips and advice!!!
Great video. I just bought my first-ever kayak. I got a fishing kayak about a month and I've been rigging it for fishing. It should be water-ready sometime in April. Your method seems to be the best I've seen. Thanks.
Chad… thank you for making this video. I just bought a Jackson kayak and I am wanting to get into fishing but I honestly was very nervous about launching and recovering it with some practice and these tips I think it’ll be pretty darn smooth.
Great tip! Like you said "it sounds simple" and should be. Makes a lot of sense to me and definitely will save the kayak. The hard part will be breaking old habits of doing it the other way.
Love the videos. Can you do a video on how to get in the kayak when launching in deeper water? Like from a boat dock or from a steep bank where the water is high.
Hey Chad! Was wondering if we could get a full in dept tour of your amazingly cool kayak trailer. I know you got the short brief video of you picking up the trailer from the maker, but I was just wondering if maybe you could go a little more into detail then that video. Also, the tent I wanna see that tent setup and stuff haha.
Great tip on entering and exiting the kayak Chad! Fortunately I was taught that quite a few years ago by someone I still fish with on a regular basis. It works and works well and saves wear and tear or at least some wear and tear on keel of my kayak!
Good info, Chad! This is pretty much akin to the proper canoe enter/exit methods except you have funnels you can brace the paddle across too. Broadside is definitely best!
Hi new to kayaking here in Adelaide South Australia, ,a loder person :), like your tips , seems kinda what your showing is common sense for me, but good to see i was doing it right ,thanks for the vid tips, like the capsize the yak vid, man i dont want to be in that situation ever :)
Thank you. A lot of times things seem like common sense based on experience, but I do a lot of these videos for people that don’t have much experience to help them avoid mistakes.
This is exactly the information I've been looking for as a newbie. Do you have any videos for tips loading and unloading from a trailer? And if loading can be done without getting in the water? 😊
Thanks Chad! I was worried about the “in and out” as I am 55 yrs old and a big guy. I think a kayak would be great for the type of fishing I want to do. I’m gonna subscribe and get more tips. Thanks again
Holy crap this helped me so much!!! Just getting into kayak fishing love doin it, have a hard time gettin in and out! Most times end up wet. Bet I don’t now. Thanks so much.
Good lesson on getting in and lunching .? I have a lifetime tamale 100 the hole thing is good but the paddle that came with it. Too short .how do I know what is the right size for me .
Really like all your videos....thanks so much for this as I weigh 300lbs and the main problem I have is getting my big but in and out of my little Pelican Yak. You Rock my friend
I would say that depends on the car model, but you really can’t go wrong with Yakima. They have one of the most comprehensive offerings available and a solid reputation for quality and durability

Biggest concern is stability!!
Something so simple, so great... Chad, at 63 yrs old anything that make it easy to get in and out.... Thanks....
You are welcome.
Glad you liked it.
I have seen a bunch of new kayak anglers do just what you told them not to do. GOOD INFORMATION.
That’s why I’m doing the videos brother. Thanks for watching. Share this to help spread the word.
omg the best explanation of how to shift your weight from side to side to anchor your boat. thank you!!!
I’m an amputee missing my left leg and thinking about purchasing a kayak. Your videos really help me. Thank you
Thanks brother, glad I can help.
I'm 66 yoa and have had numerous surgeries but that does not stop me from fishing. Your Tutorial's have helped me immensely with my kayak fishing. Thank you.
Great vídeo something that sounds simple but yet once u in that situation is harder than we think u made it make sense
Thank you for this video. I took my kayak out for the second time yesterday and this technique worked so much better than anything else I tried.
Thanks Clinton. I’m glad it helped.
Good demonstration Chad. I usually turn sideways too. Much easier.
Yes ma’am. Loving the videos lately! I finally had a chance to get caught up on some the other day when I got home
Good sound advise from the man who knows . Thanks Chad
BTW, Loving all these quick tip videos .
Thank you sir!! Y’all keep watching them and I will keep making them. 👊🏻
Chad, this is a great tip!! I'm a bigger guy and this is something I definitely need to start doing! Thank you!
Yessir! 👊🏻
I am extremely lucky to live in a place where the state installs actual kayak launches and docks so the only time I have to mess around with launching is when I pull up on remote beaches and such. So glad I found this video for those few times though!
That’s awesome! What place is that?
@@ChadHooverFishing Idaho! Just about every dock anywhere in southern and east Idaho has kayak docks and launches. They are well maintained as well!
Great video for a beginner kayaker! Thank you.
Thank you and thanks for watching
Thank you from a beginner. This is a good compliment to your previous video on this topic. More videos on the basics are appreciated.
Thank you, I have a ton more of them coming.
Great info, even for a little itty-bitty guy. At 83 yrs old it'll do me well. You the man! 👍🏽🇺🇸
Thanks Kenneth. Glad I could help
You showed this a while back, now I use it all the time! Thanks Chad, keep it up!
👊🏻
Good stuff brother my first launch was a comedy of errors, along with the second and third 😅
Ha!! That’s what I’m trying to help with... LOL
Good advice. I also run few strips of duct tape down length. Keeps my hull protected and is cheap.
Saving a lot of people from a lot of nightmare scenarios..Rock on buddy! 💪
Thank you, that’s the goal.

You’re right Chad, it sounds so simple but far too often we want to do the keel coming in first. Awesome tip, thanks brother
As a beginner kyacker I enjoy the tips. They are very helpful. Thank you
Awesome technique! We'll look like pros at the ramp now!!
Ha! Yessir

Thanks for the launch tip for a new kayak fisherman!
Yessir! Hope it helps
Thanks for these tips! As a far from small woman this should help me getting in and out of my new angler kayak!
You explain things perfectly. I have a kayak and am nervous on launch and return. This video helps me tremendously. Thank you
Thanks Ed. I’m glad it helped and I hope some of my other videos can help as well. Thanks for watching
@@ChadHooverFishing I've been watching quite a few

As a newcomer to kayak fishing,Chad,you are a wealth of knowlege
Thank you for making this video. We have a lot of concrete boat ramps. . . .
Glad I saw this as I want to buy a kayak. Just need to learn the basics
Learn something new all the time!
That’s what our goal should be. That’s mine every day.
I really appreciate these kinds of videos. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, glad you liked it
I have been kayaking for 7 years. And I tried this.....and it works. Thanks!
Thanks Chad. I like you videos. Helpful for a newbee like me!
Thanks, glad I could help
Thank you!
Do you have any updates on kayaks for 300+ pound fishermen? It has been a few upgrades since the last video? Paddler variety on a lake with dock.
Excellent video. Im a large man that just bought my first kayak
That is a very important and helpful video, especially for newbies to kayaking! Thank you!
Thank you. And some old dogs too... 😜

Great Video and Luv that Wrap on your boat.
Thank you, that’s made by @brdjet
This is clear, easily understood instruction. Thank you for posting this. I subscribed and like too!
Wow, I wish I had seen this before I flipped over at the ramp. Thanks, these are things I didn’t know. Thanks for all the great tips!
You are Welcome. Glad it helped
How about a short video on how you set up your Torqeedo and Power Pole together on a Bonafide SS127
I literally just got my mount from Innovative Solutions for this very thing
It’s called the Rugged Inline Mount
Good info.
👊🏻
Thanks for sharing this tips. I just got my yak and have already flipped it a few times
Hmmmm, maybe I should do a video on how NOT to flip your kayak
😜
Possibly
Excellent advice.
Thanks Jack
Great tip! Like you said "it sounds simple" and should be. Makes a lot of sense to me and definitely will save the kayak. The hard part will be breaking old habits of doing it the other way.
Once you do it a bit, it will feel wrong to do it the other way.
Love the videos. Can you do a video on how to get in the kayak when launching in deeper water? Like from a boat dock or from a steep bank where the water is high.
Yessir! Thanks

Chad,I thank you so much.I am new to kayaking and this is by far the easiest way for my overwieght butt to lauch and land my kayak.You are the man!
Hey Chad. Another great tip. Even though I don’t fish, you have great common sense tips for recreational kayakers. ❤
Great tip on entering and exiting the kayak Chad! Fortunately I was taught that quite a few years ago by someone I still fish with on a regular basis. It works and works well and saves wear and tear or at least some wear and tear on keel of my kayak!
That’s awesome
Very informative will practice.
Thanks and please do
Great info and a great approach
Thank you
Good info, Chad! This is pretty much akin to the proper canoe enter/exit methods except you have funnels you can brace the paddle across too.
Broadside is definitely best!
Yessir
This makes total sense to me! Thanks Chad....
Thanks, glad it helped
Everytime i watch your videos i learn something new! Thanks Chad, your the man!!!
Like launch and recovery tips!
Glad you like them!
Good stuff. I just bought a Pro-Angler 14 so this will help.
That makes sense, thank you brother

Overall a very cool boat. Wanted a sit on top so I waited until I found this deal!
Thank you Chad I sure appreciate the tips.

New to Yak fishing love your tips
New to kayak fishing, I have to thank you for this video.
Thanks for tips.what’s the most affordable kayak for fishing ??
Thanks. Have watched a lot of your videos.
Great bit of info thanks Chad.
Really like all your videos....thanks so much for this as I weigh 300lbs and the main problem I have is getting my big but in and out of my little Pelican Yak. You Rock my friend
Well done mate awsome rip
Thanks Bronx (I typed this with an Australian accent)
Appreciate the info!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Hey Chad what type of car top rack for my 13ft vibe sea ghost do you recommend?
I would say that depends on the car model, but you really can’t go wrong with Yakima. They have one of the most comprehensive offerings available and a solid reputation for quality and durability
Would this also apply if you have a boonedox landing gear deployed?
