The PVC is pretty tough. Just gotta be careful though, I guess. I’ve upgraded to their Gatorshell model in the HD, so I don’t have to worry about it anymore.
I'm from NJ as well! I'm still waiting on my HD Aero to arrive, but I can't wait to get it on the water for a paddle and then do some SUP fishing. Great look at your setup!
@@jasondecarlo Raritan/Bridgewater (North NJ) I plan on heading out to Round Valley and Spruce Run to start out - but eventually would love to hit some shorepoint inlets
@@500rattie Awesome. Hope you made out OK in yesterday’s storm. Probably could’ve used the board to get around! I live in South Jersey and work up north. What a mess!
Just came across this video. Everything looks great. I think that I would like to try it out. I've been kayak fishing and always adapting for improvement. But I like the inflatable board idea. Thanks for sharing.
@@jasondecarlo I haven't tried either yet. Just booked lessons for my granddaughter for her ninth birthday later this month. But I'm definitely going to give it a try myself. I like the inflatable idea. Is there a lot of difference in stability, etc?
@@TheTrakker The inflatables will take a good beating. I don’t see much difference in stability between the two. A hard board will glide a little better through the water.
Can you tell us where your friend got the cushion for the front of his cooler and how he secured it? Would love something like that for my setup. Great video!
I have a question since your running inflatables. I've had folks tell me that they are bad idea due to oyster beds. Primarily Saltwater . But while I currently have a inflatable kayak I'm going to be using it on Saltwater. But I'm not going to be intentionally looking for sharp stuff. Your thoughts or experiences if you have had any . TIA Any other Folks chime in please with your thoughts . This is directed at Saltwater fishing.
All I fish is the salt. If you can AVOID the sharp stuff you should be OK. I’ve grazed a few things in the water and haven’t had any issues. Nothing crazy though. I wouldn’t see the inflatable surviving constant abuse though. Hard boards are also fragile when they hit something rigid.
Attached a Scotty paddle clip to a bracket and bolt with fat rubber washers on a compression fitting. Think how a drain plug on a Jon boat works. That’s inserted into the post on the rack.
Awesome video. I got an iRocker blackfin last year and live in South Jersey. I know some are hesitant to answer this and I understand if you don't but where do you put it in? I have only done fresh water so far and nervous about tidal water.
Hey Frankie. Thanks! Mine is an inflatable. Too much deflating and rolling up scares me. I’d think it would be a lot of abuse to the seams. When mine is not in use, it sits on a wall rack in my garage with just enough air to keep its shape. I think this will prolong its lifespan. Just my own two cents.
He added those clips to his cooler. The Ozark cooler I have has slots on top where you can thread a strap through for mounting, which I use on mine to attach to the board.
@@jasondecarlo I have the hd 12' and I have a lifetime 28 qt cooler that has no place to strap to. I guess I will have to figure out a good way to secure some sort of brackets to it.
@@jasondecarlo What's the best product for straps/hold everything down? Also, my tackle rack seems pretty loose in the feet/holder. Any tips on tying everything down/stabilizing my gear?
It’s just a piece of Starboard that he cut for me to the dimensions of the top of the TuffKrate. I attached hinges to fasten it and put a paddle clip on top with an angled piece of plastic so the one end of the paddle rests on the deck while clipped in.
Thanks for these details! I’ve found it a bit difficult to see the Bote board close up like this. Two quick questions: 1. How did you mount that sand spear to the side of the Flood? 2. What kind of paddle clip is that mounted on the Rac? Thanks again!
The sand spear is mounted via the Velcro straps that come stock on the Flood Aero board. The paddle clip is something I made using stacked rubber washers that fit inside the post on the rack, and expand when I tighten the through bolt. Think how a drain plug on a boat works.
@@jasondecarlo Have the same board and love your paddle holder setup. I cant seem to figure out how this is mounted. I understand the drain plug concept, just having a hard time configuring it. I thought I well nut would be perfect, but finding one that big is an issue. Any details on what kind of washers you used and the bolt hardware set up would be appreciated.
@@kawa900stx I actually cut my own washers out of a piece of rubber. I just saw another design someone else did. They took a PVC Tee and attached it to the post on the single side of the Tee. They then attached the paddle clip to the other side.
Hey David. Yes. The yellow trimmed board is inflatable. It’s the Flood Aero from Bōte. The other board is the Gatorshell Flood from Bōte. Thanks for watching!
Kinda cool but I honestly don't get it. Other than maybe transportability & novelty, I don't see the advantages over a purpose-built fishing kayak? I do see multiple disadvantages and reasons why it is not the best tool for the job. Please enlighten me as to why one might want to fish from a SUP?
SUP makes sense from a cost perspective as well as benefits of reduced storage and ease of transportation. Also quick to setup. I have had both and this is a good solution. Also have a Colorado inflatable pontoon boat. I love it but takes quite a bit of setup/breakdown time.
@@sdnc99new38 Good points. The ease of transport occurred to me, but I didn't consider the ease of storage for those who may be very limited on space. And I suppose due to the lighter weight it could be easier to quickly launch...perhaps with more versatility in terms of where you can put in/take out.
Just because you're Out of shape, and scared of something new.....doesn't mean people other people who have Actual cognitive skills and Balance, can't enjoy a paddle board.

Adventures like these are so much more enjoyable when you have a dedicated buddy to go with. Hope you guys are still going strong!
@@ram_bam Haven’t paddled with him in 2-3 years now. 😢
Yeah i wish i had friends
Beautiful day too, hope you are getting out there this year!
Haven’t got on the SUPs this season yet. Work has been crazy.
So much more fun than a kayak. I'm always worried about hooking my board . 😊
The PVC is pretty tough. Just gotta be careful though, I guess. I’ve upgraded to their Gatorshell model in the HD, so I don’t have to worry about it anymore.
Hell yeah great to see in NJ I am south Jersey trying to do a setup like this for the lakes
You won’t be disappointed! Great platform to fish from!
I’m in Southern Ocean County.
Sweet rigs can't wait to get one
Great video. Just picked up a Rackham and looking forward to outfitting and fishing it. I am in a Rockaway NJ
Rackham is a sweet board!
Yes, this is good stuff. Thanks for uploading.
found me a new hobby! thanks for the video :)
You’ll love it! Good luck and be safe.
@@jasondecarlo subscribed. God bless you and yours
👏👏👏👏👏 Those setups are a BEAST !
Thanks for adding the link to fb. That is some set up mate. Wow. Would love to have that in the UK. Now I need to look at customising my board. 🙈🤣
You got it Dave! Good luck and have fun!
Amazing set up!
Enjoyed the video, we just got ours and excited to do some fishing with them.
Good luck and stay safe!

So Dope! I might steal this setup!
Haha! Go for it!
Love this setup

He was working for Viking Yachts at the time, and made it himself.
Currently shopping for a Bote, torn between the HD or the flood hard board 12’ How does the flood paddle and balance?
Great video, how did you clip the yakstick to the side of your board?
This board has Velcro straps that it attaches to.
Gotta love Wawa
True that, China!!

how are those paddle clips fashioned? I've got a PVC rack I built for my HD and that looks interesting.
Attached a Scotty paddle clip to a bracket and bolt with fat rubber washers on a compression fitting. Think how a drain plug on a Jon boat works. That’s inserted into the post on the rack.
I didn't know they had Wawa in New Jersey! I just thought it was in FL.
Jersey is the home of Wawa I think!

We were launching across from the golf course down in Brigantine. What part of South Jersey are you in?
@@jasondecarlo I am in Vineland. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.
What is the pad for Jeff's cooler called? Cant find it anywhere or anything similar?
He made it himself.
Amazing setups ! Watching videos to choose my SUP and plan out my rig and yup, definitely saving your video for future reference !
Thanks for watching! Good luck out there!
Nice set up guys!!
How do you store them ?
Or do you keep it inflated when not in use?
Hey Frankie. Thanks!

@@jasondecarlo Thank you ! That was my thoughts too
Can you have a fish flopping on the board or will it pop because the spines
I’d like to think it would hold up. I haven’t been on my inflatable much after putting a hard board in my arsenal.
Superr..Thank you for sharing with us 🥰🙌
You could add a bixby motor
This gave me the idea to to a custom support in the front for my daughter! 😱
Very cool! Be sure to share what you come up with!
how is your buddies cooler mounted? did he add those clips or did he find a cooler with some mounting hardware? i cant find an ozark that has that.
He added those clips to his cooler. The Ozark cooler I have has slots on top where you can thread a strap through for mounting, which I use on mine to attach to the board.
@@jasondecarlo nice. I see it now when you open it.

What did Jeff make his custom rack with? 😉
Thank you so much for your video it’s A very nice set up!!
@@jenniferwhitwiki7573 I believe he used some aluminum tubing.
Cool
I was thinking about you boys a few days ago, thinking that I bet you’re missing the fishing. Take care.
Most definitely!
Purty cool
Sick I’m gonna strive to model my set up after you guys
Go for it! It’s a great setup!
Me gusta mucho donde puedo comprar una así en chile?
Online.
if you pedal do you sit between those boxes? as a sit up kayak.
No pedals on these.
Hola consulta como agujereas la tabla inflable 😮

I just posted a closer video on the paddle clip if it helps.
are theese boards better than the aqua marina drift?
Couldn’t tell ya, but the Aqua Marine sounds like an Amazon cheapie.
Is a PFD required if it's not a boat or kayak.
I believe it is required to have on board. Not actually sure to be honest.
how did your buddy make his custom tackle rac?
Aluminum tubing.
Where do you get the paddle holder that attaches to the tackle rac?
I made it.
I just posted a closer video of it.
May I know the links of items in amazon? thks
Links for what?
@@jasondecarlo front box and cooler, please. thks
@@fung00001 Front box is a Flambeau TuffKrate I picked up on Amazon. Cooler is a 26 quart Ozark Trail I snagged on clearance at Walmart.
What coolers are you guys using
26 qt. Ozark Trail
Thanks brother !
How hard/easy is this to tip over?
I’ve never even come close to tipping. Sure I’ve fallen off, but you’d have to tip her pretty damn far to roll it over.
Is the yellow board inflatable?
Hey David. Yes. The yellow trimmed board is inflatable. It’s the Flood Aero from Bōte. The other board is the Gatorshell Flood from Bōte. Thanks for watching!
Right gear, but Bote warranty and c/s is poor.
Luckily I haven’t had to use it yet.
Why do i feel like every sup fisher is right here in florida?
@@JustinDodd2011 Couldn’t tell ya. New Jersey here.

Standing up to cast and superb view into the water to spot fish, need I say more?
@@roberthudson4440 sure...but you can stand up in a fishing kayak also. And get in even shallower water due to no fins underneath.

For me, I had a paddleboard. I like to fish. Therefore I fish off my paddleboard. I don’t own a kayak.
Most people buy a Boat ... because they have Common Sense ! ... Just try and think of all the reasons this is a very Bad Idea !
Huh?
Just because you're Out of shape, and scared of something new.....doesn't mean people other people who have Actual cognitive skills and Balance, can't enjoy a paddle board.
