    Great instructional video Chad. Yep i'm that guy that ended up in the water just trying to get out of my kayak. Totally lost my footing and just kept back peddling it until yep you guessed it, splash, lucky for me it was a hot day and was kind of refreshing. Your video has given me a better approach as to the proper way to exit a kayak. And of course we all did have a good laugh about it.

    • @ChadHooverFishing

      Thanks Robert. That’s the best way for it to happen, where no one gets hurt and everyone gets a good laugh

    My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

  • @k9kayaks
    @k9kayaks 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the instructional video. I always prep my kayak in the parking lot sense the launch area I go to is always busy w/ bass & pontoon boats. There's always the one pontoon boat that takes for ever so I just go off to the side and launch from the shore 👍🏻🎣

    Great tutorial. As a 'newbie' looking to pick up my first yak from the store this weekend I've been pondering a good technique for getting in and out of it on a slip and after watching loads of vids this week on this subject, your demo makes perfect, uncomplicated sense and I'm all for simple. Liked and subbed.

  • @timadams3975
    @timadams3975 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice vid! Getting in and out from the side with the kayak is probably the best way to get in/out of a kayak. I have pulled the front straight into the bank before and walk off. Really wobbly, but the other people at the dock will get a good laugh if you do it that way.. haha

  • @JIMMYLCOLEMAN
    @JIMMYLCOLEMAN 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's felt a little odd all these years, using Bass for Catfish bait. But after the morbid baby Ducky thing I feel quite normal. Great Video. Im a fan for life, Brother. Fellow Tennessee Patriot here!

      Obviously you've never experienced the exhilaration of a baby duck being devoured by a monster bass.

    • @grandpa1687
      @grandpa1687 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, I agree AG. I don’t want to see any baby ducks get eaten; but the video was great. I got on a kayak last month for the first time and I probably looked like a Blue Whale ice skating. I sat down while half out of the water and tried to skooch my kayak backwards in to the water. Anyway, I really enjoyed the video (cept for the poor baby ducks).

    Great tip Chad thanks for the video. I couldn't imagine seeing someone walking from bow to seat.. the way you did it is the way I do it and maybe cause it just seems to be the safest way
    if your taking request on videos maybe you could talk about using a depth finder. maybe a quick setup and some how to read info would be great. . again thanks for all you do for the sport

    @Ozzypup1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    I sure wish more people werent that guy. I cant tell you how many times Ive had to wait for people to move out of the way at a boat ramp. I mean really you dont park right in the way and then sit there for 15 or 20 minutes goofing around getting all your stuff out of your truck while other people are trying to either get on or off the water.

      Went through this last week. Nice guy, but totally out to lunch. Took at least 20 minutes of our time. Spread all over the one ramp that had room for 2 rigs. New kayak and first time out with friends and their new kayaks. He chatted away, fiddled around, de-aired his raft, checked with his mom-in-law...…… We did not say anything, just patiently waited...next time it happens, I WILL say something. Some people have the awareness of a river rock! Can't really complain as I let it happen..... By the way, thanks for the video...now I can be more graceful getting in and out!

    • @keithlapere7650

  • @swamphog77
    @swamphog77 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Solid video, Chad! However, the hardest part of kayak fishing is the LOADING to return home. Getting a YAK off a trailer or truck bed is going downward. Can you shoot a lesson video out that offers tips on loading into a truck bed for the return trip? I have an ATAK140 and a Solo Skiff and the skiff, at 150 lbs is a little challenging to get into the truck at 63 years old. Keep puttin out the good work my friend!

    Awesome tips. I’ve been looking into getting a kayak and now I feel I won’t be that guy. I am a boat owner and I really appreciate you mentioning not to block the launch ramp, I come across that way too often, either kayakers or jet skiers, and man jet skiers are the worst. Please don’t get me wrong, I’ve also seen more kayakers launching from the side of the ramp, which is also much safer for everyone at the launch ramp.

    Hey Chad.
    Do you have a video on launching a kayak from a steep bank in deep water? I am in Eastern NC and a lot of our creeks have basically deep shore lines and you can not anchor your kayak next to the shoreline like you do in this video. I'm a BIG Dude and I use the Jackson Big Rig. Can you help?

    So…how did you get the kayak to the water after you unloaded from trailer? Did you drag it on that rough concrete? Or did your camera guy help carry it to the water? If you dragged it how hard is that on the bottom? Also, what if you are launching from a dock? Any tips on getting on and off kayak at a dock? Thanks for all the great content you produce!

    • @ChadHooverFishing
      @ChadHooverFishing  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I just dragged it. Check out my video where I dragged my kayak 15.2 miles behind the truck. Trust me, they can take it.
      For docks, I just stand up, come along side the dock and then turn sideways and sit down. Then I sit on the dock, put my feet in the kayak and slide in for launching from a dock.

    Great and informative video. Did you drag your kayak down to the water after unloading it from your trailer? I'm concerned that the bottom of the kayak could get damaged during that process. Please keep in mind that I have never been in a kayak so I'm a total newbie. My husband bought me one for Christmas and therefore starting from scratch.

    Chad,
    Great rundown, it always amazes me when I get to a launch and the looks I get from the other #KayakAnglers who have never seen me get my platform ready to launch almost like the look you gave me down at #Bienville LOL.. But once I get everything set up it's pretty much the same except that I keep my paddle leash attached to my Yak and push it off and pull the #385FTA back in parallel to the launch step in adjust my traducer arm remove the leash and I'm off. When I return I just paddle up on the launch step out go get my cart pull the Yak up to the ride and the disassembly happens.

    Where is the part where you drag the yak on the concrete ramp from where you unload it to the water? This may work on small kayaks but not on a Pro Angler 14.

    Hey Chad! Thanks for all your videos and amazing work. I’m on the market for kayak. I have my eyes on the bonafide ss127...but they just released the ss107. Which bonafide should I buy??? I live in Chattanooga TN and the main lakes a fish on...chickamauga lake and guntersville lake. Which SS will be better for those lakes?? Thank you!

      Alex Galván get the SS127. If you are fishing bigger lakes it’s a no brainer in my opinion.

      Chad Hoover thank you! I don’t know anything about kayaks hehe it will be my first kayak. I’ll be going to the waterpalooza Demofest at Caney Fork Outdoors in silver point TN May 12th. to check them out. Again, thank you!

    How much would a trailer like that run. Would it accommodate the Titan 13.5?
