What kayak is it that?
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.
Coming from a bigger guy who just purchased his first kayak, thank you my friend! Great video and tips.
Thank you. Glad it could have and thanks for watching.
I did too.
I second that!! I just bought a kayak and im 270lb my
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.
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
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!!!
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 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. 👊🏻
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!
👊🏻
Saving a lot of people from a lot of nightmare scenarios..Rock on buddy! 💪
Thank you, that’s the goal.
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
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!
Chad, this is a great tip!! I'm a bigger guy and this is something I definitely need to start doing! Thank you!
Yessir! 👊🏻
You answered a huge question for this old man who isn't as svelte as he used to be. My mobility and balance slowly fades away as I get older, yet I am looking at kayaks to get me off the bank. I'm 67 and will retire in the near future and just want to spend my retirement years fishing. Thanks for this video. It makes complete sense and it wasn't intuitive, at least, not to me. But then, I'm not known to be a master of the obvious.
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.
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.
Good advice. I also run few strips of duct tape down length. Keeps my hull protected and is cheap.
I really appreciate these kinds of videos. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, glad you liked it
That makes good sense! And I never would've thought of it. Thank you sir
Thank you sir!
That is a very important and helpful video, especially for newbies to kayaking! Thank you!
Thank you. And some old dogs too... 😜
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
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!
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, glad I could help.
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!
I'm 61 years old, 6 ft. 6 in. tall and 300# with "questionable" knees. thanks for your tips on these boats, I am now considering picking one up for myself
Glad I could help Papa.
Excellent tips. I enjoy your videos very much.
Thanks for all you do for the kayak community.
Thank you and thanks for watching
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
Thanks Chad! Tight lines!
👊🏻
Thanks for these tips! As a far from small woman this should help me getting in and out of my new angler kayak!
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.
Glad I could help! Check out my videos on launching the kayak too, they may help a little there as well
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.
Thanks for the tip looking to start kayak fishing and that will help me in and out of the kayak because I would have done it the wrong way.
Thanks Ron. That’s what I here for, glad the video helped
Good work brother! 👊💪
Thanks brother! We need to do a collab soon.
@@ChadHooverFishing You're welcome! Heck yeah man, I'd love to meet up with you. 👊
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
This makes total sense to me! Thanks Chad....
Thanks, glad it helped
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.
Thank you Hot Lead
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 for making this video. We have a lot of concrete boat ramps. . . .
As a newcomer to kayak fishing,Chad,you are a wealth of knowlege
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
Just started watching your channel. Enjoy the content very much. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you
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.
That makes sense, thank you brother
👊🏻
That is smart I've been watching a lot of these videos. Looking forward to the day I'm out on the water than just the bank.
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
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.
Overall a very cool boat. Wanted a sit on top so I waited until I found this deal!
Thanks for the launch tip for a new kayak fisherman!
Yessir! Hope it helps
Great Video and Luv that Wrap on your boat.
Thank you, that’s made by @brdjet
Great tips Chad!
Thank you!
Awesome technique! We'll look like pros at the ramp now!!
Ha! Yessir
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!!!
Good info to know. Appreciate it .
👊🏻
Good job. I was trying to solve the same problem but had not figured it out.
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
Great content. This is the way I launch my boat.
This is clear, easily understood instruction. Thank you for posting this. I subscribed and like too!
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.
Thank you for all the rookie kayaker’s like me
As a beginner kyacker I enjoy the tips. They are very helpful. Thank you
Hey Chad. Another great tip. Even though I don’t fish, you have great common sense tips for recreational kayakers. ❤
Very informative will practice.
Thanks and please do
Excellent advice.
Thanks Jack
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!
Everytime i watch your videos i learn something new! Thanks Chad, your the man!!!
Good stuff. I just bought a Pro-Angler 14 so this will help.
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
Like launch and recovery tips!
Glad you like them!
All the things you said dont do is exactly the way I do it. Glad I now have a better way. Thanks Chad! You da man!!!
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.
Once again Chad you come through was an awesome tip. Thanks for knowledge and insight
Thank you and thanks for watching! 👊🏻
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
Great advice! Thank You!
Glad it was helpful!
My two biggest obstacles being a new kayak owner...getting on, and worse yet...getting OFF! I must have looked like Otis the town drunk to anybody watching! 😂
Ha!! I’ve been there. When I had a stint put in a couple years ago it was like that getting out of the boat sometimes
Thank you!
Thank you Chad I sure appreciate the tips.
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
I am learning so much from your videos. Thank you. Rand
That is how I launch mine, mostly to protect my transducer and not running it aground.
Yeap. That too. I completely forgot to mention that. Thanks for the suggestion
@@ChadHooverFishing Keep up the good work! I always love your videos. Could you demonstrate getting launched out of the kayak when you launch it bow-to-shore incorrectly? Lmao! Your explanation and demonstration made it very clear and easy to understand and memorable. You are a great teacher!
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.
Great info and a great approach
Thank you
Thanks. Have watched a lot of your videos.
Great videos, thanks for the tips.
Thanks James and thanks for watching
Thank you very much for making this video. I just bought a sit in fishing yak. First time kayaker. I assume this method would work the same.
It’s pretty similar, you just have to do a little more “scooting” in a sit inside kayak.
Keep it up brother, these tip videos are awesome
Thank you! Y’all keep
Watching and I will keep cranking them out.
Thanks Chad! This was just the type video I was searching for tonight considering I just got my first fishing kayak (2021 Ascend 128X) and taking it on its maiden voyage this coming weekend. Thanks again. Keep up the tip videos, many of us can use them. I see lots of noobs end up in the water for things that can be avoided.
thanks saved me some headache probably.
New to kayak fishing, I have to thank you for this video.
New to Yak fishing love your tips
Awesome! Thanks for the awesome tip.
👊🏻

Well done mate awsome rip
Thanks Bronx (I typed this with an Australian accent)
Great bit of info thanks Chad.
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? 😊
Great idea wished I would have watched sooner.
Thanks Dave. At least it isn’t even later 😜
Appreciate the info!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
