I'm getting my 110 in a few days. Thanks for all of your insights and tips. I'm a bit older and have bad knees, so the stand-up assist strap will be very helpful!
Nice, happy to help. Glad the stand-up assist strap will help you. I think you will really enjoy your yak. Tightlines!
Good info. I grabbed a green Catch Mode 110 on sale at Academy about three weeks ago. I'm brand new to fishing, and I'm so stoked I got it. Just got back from a week on the Texas coast. I did some inshore fishing. To say it was therapeutic is an understatement. I didn't catch many fish, but enough to keep me trying. Best one was a 16" speckled trout. I was paddling almost a mile from my truck to where I was fishing with no problems. Looking forward to exploring spots around central Tx. Fish on!
Man that sounds like a awesome fishing experience along the coast, I know it was indeed therapeutic. Those is kayak is so comfortable and makes a long day on the water so much easier. Glas to hear you enjoy your yak as much as I do mine. Get that therapy! Tightlines!
My 110 just arrived today and boy is it impressive. That extra couple of inches of width didn't sound like it'd make much of a difference, but this thing is WIDE and looks like it's going to be extremely stable on the water. The only downside is that while it doesn't weigh a ton the extra bulk does make it feel like loading it on my roof rack may be a little tedious, but we'll see. Worst case scenario I'll have to borrow someone's truck to move it. No biggie. It definitely feels like a quality kayak and the only way it'll tip is either from carelessness or on purpose. Your videos on it were instrumental for me pulling the trigger on the purchase. Pelican should hire/sponsor you.
I wish Pelican would sponsor me, that would be great. I love that you found my video very helpful and it helped you make a decision that I believe you will not regret. I'm actually taking it trout fishing on a river tomorrow and I am interested to see how it performs in the Class 1 rapids and I will also show how I load it on top of my SUV's roof rack. So stay tuned for that video. I appreciate you watching!
@@fishingistherapy I'll keep my eyes open for it. Luckily I only have to deal with very calm water, but I am very curious about how it'll deal with rapids. I'm a sucker for versatility and seeing how the 110 does in some fast moving water. Hope you load up on some good eating trout, too!
@Do0msday I hope it does well too. Thanks for the Goodluck!
I’ve been checking out that same kayak for some river fishing for smallies I’ve watched a lot of videos out of all so far I believe after watching yours I’m sold on it really like the modes ya done great video
Thabks, im glad you enjoyed the video. This yak is great for river fishing, I use on the Toccoa river in front of hydroelectric dams and Im glad I went with this yak.
Just bought myself one this past weekend. Maiden voyage was with my dog. He gets the front while i'm fishing. Plenty of room for him, and all of my stuff, including Cooler. Maybe one more trip out for him to get used to things, and then we're going to try fishing. Wish us luck. Enjoying the videos help me to decide Which One I decided to purchase.
Awesome, im glad you found value in the video and it helped you with your decision. Its a spacious yak and I know your dog had plenty of space up front, its awesome to have that ability on a yak. Good luck out there, im sure you will have a blast and catch some good fish. Let me know how it goes, tightlines!
Just bought this Kayak today. Can't wait to set it up to my liking and get out on the water. Love the channel man.
Your going to enjoy this kayak, I'm taking it on a class 1 river float this Saturday, stay tuned to see how it performs. I appreciate you watching, more to come soon!
Excellent job, i appreciate the detail of the work. It's my next project for my Catch 110. Thanks
I appreciate that Jerry! Your going to love modifying the catch 110. Means alot for you to watch and enjoy my video. Thanks!
I have the Catch 100, but I am wanting this one really bad. The way it's made is perfect.
I would echo that sentiment. It had all the features I need and wanted, plus a few additions. For the price point......it's hard to beat, in my opinion.
Yes Sir! I got a pelican fishing kayak catch mode 110 coming in a few days from now., And soon i'll be getting it all fixed up, and ready to be heading out to the lake to do some fishing! Ah, Yes! I can't wait! 👍😃🎣🐟🎉🎉
I feel your excitement and anticipation and trust me...you will not be disappointed. Great purchase, and will make life on the water more enjoyable!
@@fishingistherapy Yeap., For Sure! 👍😎🎉🎣🐟
Hey, great to see your video. Love your enthusiasm. Just bought the same kayak and I’m waiting for it to arrive so really enjoyed seeing your mods, especially the rubber feet that you put on the side of the chair.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Those rubber feet really help and make the seat stable. Your going to enjoy this kayak, it's an all around great kayak.
Great video! I am looking to purchase this kayak and the videos you have posted on this model have me sold. I love your mods, very good ideas. Thanks for posting!
Means alot, glad you got value out of my videos and it helped you with your purchase. Definitely appreciate you watching.
Yo man, great channel and videos. Love your positive enthusiasm and very helpful ideas. You're high-speed/low-drag. I love to fish and we have a few rivers and many ponds, lakes and reservoirs within 20-50 miles from me, so after researching for days I finally decided on the Catch Mode 110. Got it on sale at Academy for $664 (with 5% off using their credit card). Well, I ordered it yesterday but it won't be ready to pickup until this weekend. So now I'm getting ready by looking up videos and found yours first. Great stuff man, can't thank you enough for taking the time to go over everything! I'm 55 years old, 6'3" 280lbs and have had three back surgeries, so I'm really hoping that I'll be able to sit for hours on that really versatile and comfy seat. The stand-up handle is clutch man, I'm hoping that it'll help me enough to get onto my feet rather than into the water... Anyway, great work bro - keep it up! Peace and God bless
Man thats great to hear. Glad you decided to purchase the yak. I think you will enjoy it and it will suit your needs. The seat is by far my favorite accessory about the yak in addition to the stand up assist strap. I love that after I fish in this yak my back isnt sore or tired. Get out there and get that therapy! I appreciate you watching, thanks for reaching out.
Been looking for a Kayak with a flat bottom and a little extra space so I can tote my dog along. Great video! Gonna pick one up this summer.
Glad the video helped. Its definitely a sturdy yak and will hold youf dog easily. Hard to beat a stable platform lkke this for the money. I appreciate you watching.
Nice setup dude. I’m actually planning on buying that same one soon. Most likely going to add a trolling motor.
Nice. I'm thinking of adding on myself, possibly the newport vessels trolling motor.
Just bought mine in green. Can’t wait to get some therapy on the water this new year. Keep a wet line bro 🤙🏾
Same here. Can't wait to take the yak out again. You will love yours. Get out there and rip a lip!
Ordered 1 yesterday upgrading from a tamarack pro from lifetime
You made a good purchase, I definitely am glad I upgraded from my tamarack angler 100. The stability and features make this upgrade a no brainer!
0.08 .... 0.8 is over 3/4" ... 😁 BTW, all your ideas are fantastic!
Thank for the insight. I appreciate it, means alot, glad my ideas have value.
Great video love your simple modifications. I am planning to buy, but first I need to sell my almost completely restored 98 Skeeter boat.
Yeah man its a more intimate vibe with nature on the water. Love that I can switch feom my jon boat to the yak. You will quickly fall in love with yak if you buy it, its a platform that easiky accepts any modifications. I appreciate you watching!
Your enthusiasm for this Kayak helped me make my decision to get the same one. Would love a follow up video talking about adjustments you would make to your mods if you knew then what you know now. For instance, your standup assist - did you nail the length right out of the gate or should it have been shorter or longer. I am also 6’2”. Thanks for the videos!
Great insight. I will produce a follow-up video soon. I have a few adjustments I have made. Stay tuned, I will get on it.
Great video! I'm brand new to kayak fishing and this provided some great tips and ideas!
My pleasue, glad you got value out of the video. I try to provide info that helped me with my yak decision or mods. Thanks for watching!
Have you seen or heard of yak gear they have a 4 rod holder that's adjustable and keeps your rods flush along the side of your kayak instead of having them stick straight up
Yes I heard and seen them. This yak has the option to lay your rods flush on either side of your yak along the gunwale and has a rod tip protector, I think these are very handy, but if I needed more spelace I wouldn't definitely invest it them. I have a similar product made by millennium marine on my boat.
Fantastic video! Thank you!
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it and found value in it. I appreciate you watching!
Wow! These are some great mods! Thanks for giving me some useful ideas!
My pleasure. Glad you got useful ideas. I tried to keep all the mods practical.
I’m wondering if airboat hull coat would adhere. Super slick.
I appreciate you watching. Interesting idea, I'm sure if you rough up the surface a bit before it will adhere just fine.
Firstly love the video. Super detailed and useful for someone starting out such as myself. What brand rod holders will fit this particular rail system on the sides? I’d love to add one of these to mine if possible.
Thanks, glad you like the video. I belive most rail system rod holders work. Its a Versatile track. I know for sure they fit most 5/16 T track bolts that are standard with most rod holders.
Great video. Appreciate your hard work!! Just ordered one..:)
Thanks for watching, I appreciate that support. Glad I could add value.
Great setup brother
Thanks, I appreciate it, loving this setup.
awesome video man, did you know the skeg on the rear is designed to come off and on very easily by the rubber orange rope holding it on? This is a very awesome kayak for the price i will be stealing some of the mod ideas for sure!! Good luck Fishing!!
Yes it is a great kayak, I agree. Taking it for its first trip on a river float trout fishing this weekend. The skegvworks great, u have been thinking about adding a rudder system so I can raise and lower it and turn because it's hard to raise it once it's down from the seated position. But overall it's a hard kayak to beat for the money and features. Good luck to you as well!
Nice video. Ty for tge ideas 😊
Your welcome, Thank you for watching, it means alot.
I don’t see a link to your retractable anchor line. Can you put one up please. Love your mods.
Glad you like my mods. This is not an retractable anchor line, its retractable clothes line in which I cut the cable and tied paracord to it. Here you go. Retractable Clothesline -... www.amazon.com/dp/B07FYR4Q55?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Wonderful video ❤ love the kayak
Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
Very helpful video, I just bought a 110. Can you comment or do a video on how you get it on top of your SUV by yourself?
I think you will like your purchase. Yes I will do a video for you as soon as I have the opportunity!
Thanks, I was looking at the Rhino Rack Universal Side Loader but if you have a better solution I'd love to hear what you use. Much appreciated!
@keithrychlak4337 I have a roof rack basket and I sometimes use the kayak foam pads for a car roof top but most times I just strap it to my basket without them. I will show you
I just started looking into getting this kayak and love your videos. Do you transport it directly on top of your roof cargo basket? I have the same basket. Do you have a photo or video of what the transport setup looks like?
Yes I do transport it right on top of my roof basket. If all goes well I plan to take it out this weekend. I will record how I load and transport it.
Can't wait to mod it.
This kayak is easy to mod and make your own!
Thx for this video man. Just subscribed. Cheers
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the support!
Hey man, what was the name of that retractable anchor you have?? Looking to get the same thing so the rope is not such a mess on my boat. Thanks!
Its a retractable clothes line that I pulled the original rope all the wah out and cut then attached paracord to the end of the rope they give you. Here is the link.

Nice modifications. Are you able to put a transducer on it
Thanks, appreciate you watching. I havent added a teandicer yet, but I have saw videos of someone using a modified scupper transducer, but I plan to add a transducer mount off of my track mount.
@@fishingistherapycool. Thanks for responding.
@StreetSouljaz1 All good. Appreciate you reaching out!
Do you use or have a kayak cart for like transportation from the dock or when you get home?
No I dont have one that fits this yak. I put mine on top of my suv roof basket and then pull it off at the boat ramp, load all my gear on it and then push it to the side while I go park. I havent found a cart that makes it worth it to go up and down the steep boat ramp. The only thing I do is drop it on a floor dolley and roll it in my garage when I get home.
Dude if you weren't so damn tall one might think you were 13yrs old the way you are smiling when you are sitting in your new rig.
🤣😅 I know you know the feeling! It's one that's infectious. Just happy and grateful to have a nice rig. My baby face was grinning from ear to ear🤣 Glad you enjoy the content.
Man I'm struggling i want this one but i also want the catch pwr 100... this looks real cool and fun but i love the 360 chair on the catch 100 still don't know what i want but got to get something soon need to get out there to fish.
Yeah it definitely comes down to what features you want, I tosse around the idea of the pwr 100 but felt better for the price point and features.
@@fishingistherapy yeah I'm with you there its 350 cheaper for this one roughly. And I like how this one is more like a kayak looks easier to paddle with but I am planning on putting a trolling motor on it since I have one already and I seen videos of a trolling motor on this one and it looks uncomfortable the way you got to turn around, have you put one on yours?
And the pwr 100 looks easy to use to troll around need a longer paddle tho if I just want to coast around with a paddle and I like how you can easily get up and walk around in the 100 however this one don't like to bad either.
@madd6795 I totally understand. I plan to put a trolling motor on mine as well. Jist havent fullt committed yet. But I have some plans for my yak. The pwr sounds good if you have a yak trailer. I couldn't imagine putting it on top of my SUV every trip or dragging it up the hill when I fish at the hydroelectric dam. But I do like the idea of being able to troll around but im going to add the trolling motor soon so I can make adjustments and dial it in. I would go with the catch for the money but for the teolling features and if I had a yak trailer or flatbed truck I would go with the pwr 100.
@@fishingistherapyThanks for your insight and point of view helps me decide and your videos too appreciate your time.
I am in the process of getting a trailer actually gong to get one in 2 days lol just bc my girl getting a kayak as well so it will be useful to carry 2 at a time. But yeah trailer deff helps with dropping kayak straight to water or at least closer.
Also sweet set up on your upgrade simple and organized can't wait to get my mods on.
@madd6795 Man that means alot, glad tou enjoy my content and the info and mods. Your right that trailer for 2 kayaks is going to make life so much easier. Good to hear from you, hope it goes well for you. Tightlines!
Where did you get that 550 cord wind up thing? Thanks. Great job.
Thank you. I got it from Amazon. You will need to remove the cable that it comes in. I just cut it at the very end after pulling it all out and tied my paracord directly to the last bit of clothes line. Hope this helps. Link here:

@@fishingistherapy nice. Thanks. ;)
@doc1time75 Your welcome.
I just purchased this kayak. The foot pedal on the left side snapped completely off. Has anyone else had this issue and how would I go about replacing it? The screws that mount the rail to the kayak seem do not seem to have any way to loosen or remove them.
Thats not good, I haven't experienced this on my yak. May just be a manufacturing error. I see replacement foot pegs on the Confluence website. Here is a link. Im not near my yak right now, but I believe they just slide back on. www.confluenceoutdoor.com/en-us/products/kayak-foot-peg/PS1082
Just picked up one of these kayaks from Amazon can you tell me what size the seat stops are that you put on seat to help seat from sliding? Thanks
Sure, I used 3/4 inch rubber leg tips from Ace Hardware and they fit perfectly. Hope that helps.
Yes that helps thank you
@jimmymarockircstuff2289 My pleasure, Hope you enjoy the yak!
Great mods
Thanks, glad you found them helpful. Loving the kayak, and all the mods are working out great. Maiden voyage video drops Sunday
Where did you buy the kayak at without ordering online?
All of the stores near me were out of stock, so I had to purchase from the pelican website. Not sure if they are back in stock in Department stores, but Pelican has them in stock.
What size are the rubber caps on the seat rails?
They are 3/4 inch. I got them at Ace Hardware.
@@fishingistherapy OK cool. Thanks and tight lines!
You're welcome, tightlines, and good luck.
Where did you buy your skeg set up from ?
It comes with the kayak standard. It's a nice feature to have!
What anchor do you use??
Just a claw anchor and a clothing line paracord system that I have attched to my Kayak crate. Been meaning to add and anchor trolly system, just havent got around to it yet. Here is a video where you can see it clearly. th-cam.com/video/ZEr7SzW7er0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WrUl2IwsqtM91OeJ
what happened to the trolling motor noooo lol
Lol this is an older video before I put on the trolling motor. The motor is still running strong
Hello man nice to meet you do you have any fishing decals for sale I can purchase
Nice to meet you as well man. I do not have an official decal for sale, but I will work on getting on for you asap. What I currently have are sticker decals you can purchase from my site, they are below the video. Appreciate the support!
@@fishingistherapy thanks again I look forward to talking to you again
Indeed, it has been a pleasure!
North Georgia?
Yes indeed!
KEEPING IT SIMPLE IS WHAT KAYAKING IS ALL ABOUT....THOSE GUYS WITH ALL THE ELECTRONICS AND MOTORS AND PEDDLE DRIVE ARE MISSING OUT BIG TIME...jmo
I agree. I have entertained the idea of a pedal kayak or motor, but I can't beat the workout, the feel of kayaking and the intimate feel when fishing I get.
Keep it simple,it's not a bass boat!!
Bass bucks are money pits. Hate boats. Sold mine. Made fishing dreadful waiting on something else to break. Bought a kayak. Would NEVER EVER own a boat again.
@silverdropstang That makes sense. Keep the cost down and repairs to a minimum.
