Biggest thing for me the more I look at boats especially bass boats, you need a big truck to pull it at least a half ton in most cases, lots of money for gas for both the truck & boat, a lot more maintenance to have to worry about, it's easy to transport a kayak & get to more spots easier than with a boat a lot of the time, & you don't have to take out a big loan for a kayak.
100% facts! Thanks a lot for stopping and watching!
I agree!! I sold both my boats and have no regrets, I started kayak fishing in 2020. As far as fishing goes, the best decision I've made ..
The only thing a boat really has the advantage on is getting places faster IMO. That’s it. Not really a deal breaker for me. Maybe one day again I’ll get a another boat…but I doubt it. Thanks for watching!
I saw a guy go about maybe 20 to 30 yards and shut it down at the weigh in he won big bass 10lbs 5 ounces 20 yards away while the field which I followed over 100 boats
I like yack fishing because of the versatility. I keep my yack on top of my suburban and I always have the option of hitting the lakes or rivers on the way home from work.
Exactly! The simplicity factor of just being able to get on the water and bass fish! Thanks for stopping and watching!
The last 30 years of tournaments I give up 6 years ago I have bought 30 kayaks it started 20 years ago to go saltwater fishing kayaks come along way just bought my new bass and saltwater boat OLD Town 136 auto pilot it is WOW love it
Great story! I also fish from an old town auto Pilot 136! Such an awesome platform!
If I only knew how much fun and just go fishing the 136 is a beast hoping to buy a trailer soon
Really enjoyed this one brother. Definitely agree with all these points and I’m glad I’m not the only one who would rather toss $6k at a new kayak rather than a used boat.
Dude $6k at a new kayak rig would give you pretty much everything you need and then some. Thanks for stopping and watching bro 🤘🏼
I sold my Bass boat few years ago and focus on Kayak fishing. I agree everything u said. But I think the down side for a kayak are the preparation time (e.g setup the fish finders,trolling motor,powerpole,tackle box…)for launching and packing up when u finish are way more time than a boat, and I can’t go too far from where I started. I remember one time I went out for 10km far and I end up spending 2 hours straight to get back to the shore with the XI3 which is a nightmare. Time is a big issue for fishing. I rather spend time for fishing than cruising back to the shore. This year I switch back into a small boat instead. Hopefully this is the right decision for me.
I 100% agree with you on the time spent at launch. I’m actually working on my kayak to make it more efficient at the launch. I almost there. I do trailer my kayak also. Yesterday at the launch a guy I fished with travels his in his pick up bed and he had his in the water 10 min before me and I launched and was out on the water while he was still loading stuff in his yak. A lot of places I fish I do have to travel about 20-40 minutes across the lake but the NK300 bits those times in half also. Thanks for watching!
Those are some great points. I’ve got a 23 foot Bay Boat and storage is tough…expensive to store. And, I’m not using it as often as I’d like. You make a good case for going with a Yak!
I’ve owned a lot of boats Scott and I gotta tell ya man they are great but also a headache. It’s a lot more of a commitment also. I’m telling ya man the way of the yak is great. Great exercise too. Win win kind of situation! Thanks a lot for stopping and watching!🤘🏼
I live in West Michigan, and we have a lake like this one called Little black lake. Because I have a lifetime tamarack kayak this lake is prefect.
These lakes are usually really great fishing lakes too because they’re not over pressure and over fished by all the bass boat guys. Thanks a lot for watching. I live near Lake Orion. SE Michigan
I have never owned a bass boat so I can't relate but I have friends with boats and it seems there is ALWAYS something happening to them. For me, the kayak was the cheapest and most effective way to get off the bank and out into the waters I couldn't normally fish. For $350 and another $100 or so in accessories, I have a new way to enjoy fishing.
I am still working on camera angles, but thats less a kayak issue, and more a content creator problem. I'll get it nailed down eventually.
I have a fairly unique kayak crate myself. It wouldn't survive the scrutiny of online forums, but for me, it perfectly does its job. Looking forward to seeing what you got for us.
Dude boats are nothing but a headache. The two best days of a boat owners life are the day they buy and the day they sell it. Thanks a lot for stopping and watching bro! Your gonna be slaying hogs outta that yak set up! Looking forward to watching it all go down!🤘🏼
I agree with most of that for sure. I found with bank fishing that it also forces you to realize that there are more fish in the small area. Then you think. I guess kayak fishing also limits you to a spot once you move there. plus your are absolutely right about catch and release tourneys.
Thanks a lot for stopping and watching buddy! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great points, Lucas!
While bass boats are cool, they are DEFINITELY a ton of work. Winterizing live wells and lines, storage, unable to easily get the boat back to shore if something goes wrong.
The only thing I will disagree about is that kayak fishing is not always 100% stress free. I was pretty stressed when I got careless and flipped.
If the water is frigid and a storm pops up...flipping can equal death.
There are definitely stresses out there, but they are FAR LESS than bass bro stresses.
Great video, Buddy. Just nonchalantly catching fish while shooting a talking segment.
Thanks a lot for stopping and watching 🤘🏼 I appreciate ya as always!
Yup done with boats! Too much work! Enjoyed the first day and the last day 😂
I know exactly how you feel! I’m with ya brother!🤘🏼🤘🏼
I love no stress here in Florida from Harris chain to Okeechobee a lot of travel and a lot of money still married after 42 years she still with me lol I know alot of bass fishermen are divorced one guy I know 5 times
I love Florida! Every time we visit my wife and I always contemplate leaving Michigan!
Oh man great video. I cannot wait to see that DiY.
Thanks for stopping and watching!
I sold my PA 14 360, bought a boat, the best decision ever made, I can hit the water, and cover so many spots, as bieng on a kayak, on a kayak I would worry, for any sudden weather changes, and if I would be able to make it back weather if I have enough battery life, for my trolling motor or simply bieng to tired to peddle back, a boat is a totally different fishing vessel than a kayak, comfortable, heaps more stable, and heaps more storage for my fishing gear‘ there is no stress with my boat, if you call re fueling & putting the bung hole is stress, then you shouldn’t own a car, same, pump up tyres and re fueling’ then your car is stressful, right ? Then you should use a push bike ? Right ?
The more I work on my boat, the more satisfaction I get ‘ once a boat is ready, it will last for years !
Great video, kayak fishing is fun though’
I can appreciate your take. Thanks for watching. I’ve owned a plethora of boats over the years. Many. Brand new with warranty and 30 year old boats. I am limited on time to fish and there is no stopping me with the yak. If something goes wrong or needs working on with the boat I can’t fish. I also learned to not have to go fish every spot on the lake. I pick the high percentage areas and figure them out. Livescope also had been a game changer for me on the yak. So simple to use on it also. There are pros and cons to both but for me personally to just go catch some fish for fun or to eat the simplicity of the yak rules over having to deal with the boat and its expenses that come with it.
this is interesting to hear because i LOVE BOATS - however they have their time and place. if i am going on my public water near my house. i have small lakes around me and shallow lakes near me. i would take the kayak out most. however when i am up at the cabin, the lakes up north are MUCH bigger and MUCH deeper. there i would use a boat.
I've heard boat owners refer to the acronym BOAT: Bust Out Another Thousand. Kayaks don't have the problem of fixing things being expensive. Over the last 6 years of running two kayaks for my wife and I, we have had very few problems. And the two issues we did have were under warranty. Both Hobie and Old Town were great to work with us.
Each of us having our own yaks works well. If I want to fish a drop shot and my wife wants to troll, we can do that.
We have a smaller local lake that has a wakeless speed rule for the entire lake. The pleasure boaters don't bother going there. I love kayak fishing that lake! It's popular enough a state park is going to be built there. New launch facilities and a new campground, while keeping the current boating regulations.
All great points Lucas. Another reason I love kayaking is being so close to the water. Looking in the water and watching the fish and even the weeds or trees down below is a great way to relax. Not the same in a boat. 🙂
Better than the blackpak?🤔 Can’t wait to see that. 👍
Great point as well Joe! Thanks a lot for stopping and watching brother 🤘🏼🤘🏼I appreciate ya man! The kayak crate is definitely going to be a project but I’ve already started putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
Hey Lucas: Quit telling people how great kayak fishing is. Ha ha. Because a 9th reason it's so great is the amount of water you get all to yourself with no-one fishing there.
That’s another great reason! Hey I appreciate you stopping and taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Thanks a lot! 🤘🏼
I love using kayak in the ocean while fishing, sure sometimes big wave fcked me up and one time i was dragged 12ft into the bottom of the ocean... but the adrenaline keep me going lol
That’s wild dude! Hey it’s a lesson learned for sure. I’ve flipped and fell out a couple times but I haven’t lost the love for the sport. Thanks a lot for stopping and watching! I truly appreciate it!🤘🏼
Great tips
Thanks for watching!
As much as I want to love getting out in the kayak, I find myself so uncomfortable fishing out of it. So it sits there as a lawn ornament. So saying it is less stressful than fishing out of a boat is completely wrong for me. After flipping my yak I have never been the same. I want to give it another try for sure but I have not been the same since then. I have had more issues with my Yak then anything I have had with my Tracker when I had it back in the day. Also with here in NJ for me personally, It is hard to fish big water in a Yak with the amount of boat traffic around no caring if you are in a yak.
Thanks for stopping and watching brother! Hey flipping happens! I’ve fell outta one during a tournament and flipped one in the last few years. It definitely is a reminder of what you can and cannot do on some of these kayaks. The one I’m in now I can fish 8 hrs in and not get a sore behind or back at all but it’s my 4th kayak in the last few years. I had the complete opposite experience with Tracker. I had a 2021 Targa v18 and I had not only the worst experience with a new boat but getting the work done was almost impossible.
What kayak do you have? That makes a huge impact on your experience.

I flipped my kayak for the first time this year. I have a Lifetime tamarack. I was in a faster part of the river than I normally fish and took a chance on freeing a lure that was not worth the risk. I was feeling too comfortable that day. But I am right back out there and remind myself don't take unnecessary risk. I hope one day you are able to get back out there and have fun on your kayak.
Yak gang taking over 🤘🏾
It’s inevitable brother🤘🏼 thanks for stopping and watching!
I'd take the yak over a boat any day....all valid points. Way more expensive
Yak gang baby! The expenses of a boat are never ending. The headache can be too. Thanks a lot for stopping and watching Steve!
And a bass boat is as much as a new truck
Yeah some of them are the cost of a house! 🏠 C-R-A-Z-Y
its the second largest fasting growing thing in fishing. ive been doing it since it all started
I agree 100%! I started 3 years ago this is my 4th and it was with a Pelican angler special sit in kayak. I am obsessed with kayak fishing anymore man. Thanks a lot for stopping and watching the video!
it seems to really catch during covid. I couldn't find the fishing kayak I was looking for in the store and had to order it online. the shipping killed $$$
@@greatlakezgirl649 shipping is definitely a big cost. Check out Eco fishing if you decide to get another. They will ship for free I believe
IMO, your bigger tournaments like KBF & BASS have redefined the definition of "kayak". tournament rigged kayaks can go for over $20K. they're more like small boats than kayaks. i guess it's how one interprets the word "simplicity" that makes it a kayak. motors on a kayak, IMO, no longer makes it a kayak. also, IMO, live scope needs to be band from ALL tournaments.
I appreciate your input. I will have to disagree with 20k kayaks. Even with the latest kayak on the market…adding 2 motors and live scope with all the bells and whistles you’d still be around that 10k mark. It’s not for everyone. With kayaks you can keep it simple and limit the amount of extras or you can go all out. I agree they are like small boats but that’s what they have evolved too. Just like everything else things will evolve more and more. Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch and leave a comment I truly appreciate it!
Bust out another thousand, boat
100%
6,000$ for a kayak? 😮
Not just for the kayak…..that’s along with all the latest and greatest electronics and a motor as well. “Fully rigged out”.
As a former kayaker, too old now..PLEASE get your shit ready some place other than the ramp....seen 6 boats launch other day while this dude jackin around load 500 rods and kItchen sink in his little kayak.....AND unless you wanna get your azz ran over use some kinda light or flag in low light conditions...
Common sense brothers.
Exactly what I do also. I prep everything before I launch then head over to launch it and don’t take anymore time than the boats do. Thanks a lot for stopping and watching!
How about some common sense and courtesy! Just because y
Ou are in a kayak does not
give you special priorities!!!
Your absolutely right. Same goes for boats. Just because you have a 250 merc doesn’t mean you have to be on plane always. Common sense just isn’t that common though.
