@@FishingWithYakPak hey yak is there a type of yak you recommend for those of us in central fl that might want to fish lakes that get choked out with vegetation? Also, my budget is $5 lol
I've lost too many fish because I thought they were sticks. I now set the hook on everything, sticks, turtles, grass, fishing buddies. You can never be too careful.
YakPak, I just bought a new Old Town Sportsman 106 (PADDLE VERSION) it's not a peddle, not powered). I'm good with the PADDLE ones for my kind of slow, lazy day fishing style. You sold me on an Old Town Sportsman brand so HUGE 😊 THANKS, IT'S AWESOME.
I've been torn between the MK and the PDL in the 106. If only Old Town would make a hull design with the powered by MK set up that could accommodate the PDL drive with an adapter. I would 100% pay the upcharge for the option to switch back and forth. I just bought the Sportsman 106 PDL with plans to add a Bixby to fill the gap. Keep up the awesome content!
I bought the same kayak as norms put two nice rod holders on it and a anchor trolley system and it works great first time out I got a 2 lb lmb it was my first fish on a kayak and first time on a lake with a kayak it was awesome lakes ponds and rivers here in California are so pressured you have to go get away from the crowed banks and boat docks!!!..what better way then with a kayak!! You the man Yak Pak!!🚣♂️🎣🤙🏻
Completely agree with what you said about boats vs a kayak. I didn't want the maintenance, extra cost and added storage space needed for a boat. Waiting for my 106 MK to come in! I used to have a Pelican catch 100 and it was too hard to shuffle the oar etc and trying to fish. Have a feeling I am really going to like this one..
My kids and I bought kayaks to fish after following you for over a year. I got the Vibe Sea Ghost 130. Would love to upgrade in the future to something like this.
Spot lock is amazing. Fishing in current or tides is a blast, you can pull into a narrow location when tides are changing and cast right into the current while the 120 Auto Pilot keeps you sitting right there.
I have a old town 10.6 minnkota and it seems to have a hard time fighting the current and wind with the motor alone. I usually have to help with the paddle. Any advice? Was thinking about trying a different prop
I grew up in Cutler Bay formerly Cutler Ridge. Ive fished countless little ponds like that and slayed many Oscar and Peacock in the flood control canals. Franjo Rd 305!!!
I know this is six months old but I've been watching Alex Rudds videos and a few others. I've decided on the old town pdl. The review Alex did made my decision. You just confirmed it thank you.
I went kayak fishing for the first time today. It was in a cheaper pelican yak and I had a blast. The stability sucked though and I almost died 5 mins into it haha. I’d be interested to see how stable yours are compared to it. There is no way I could have stood up in the kayak I was in today haha 😂
Thanks guys... (Just got my Titan paid off, as I started a few years ago with a sit-in 'Yak - went to a sit-on -and now have the peddle-type), and couldn't agree more - with Norm. Bank and Boat fishing IS better...! Haha! Thanks for the video, and NOW I'm looking VERY Hard at the "drive me to the spot" GPS 'Yak (ya get that way, when you're OLD, like me!). Haha!
I predict, in the future, kayak tournaments will be divided into three categories, paddle, pedal, powered. all three have their advantages and faults. 🤔👍😎😊🎣
It does good. Depending on the thickness, you may have to stop & raise the motor to clean it off. Usually I just throw it in reverse then forward again to get any grass/weeds off and that works perfectly.
Sweet man. The lakes I fish here in Friday harbor wa are nothing but mats. I fish the holes in the Lilly pads and a couple pockets that are open. I have a 55 pound thrust motor for my Colorado Accessories pontoon boat and I have to pull the motor up ever 10 feet to take the weeds off. Didn’t know if they were any better
@@FishingWithYakPak That's what I got too. The lithiums are outrageously priced. I'll just keep lugging around the lead acid. Thanks!! Love your videos! Thanks for being real.
That can only be answered by you. Each has their own pros/cons. For me though, the best kayak for my style of fishing is the 106 Powered By Minn Kota hands down.
Sometimes TH-cam doesn’t want to promote certain vids for whatever reason the algorithm decides 🤷🏻♂️😢.. but that’s fine, this Saturday I have something absolutely CRAZY dropping! You’ll love that one for sure 👊🏼😁
I use spinning reels and I’ve been throwing soft plastics and I’m having a huge problem with my slack for some reason to the point where I can’t fish effectively because I’m constantly reeling in slack and can’t work my work slow like your supposed to. It’s worse in the kayak as well cuz I can’t stand up. What do you think my problem is ?
Hahaha! That is litterally right next to my house! Now you know why you never see anybody fish it. I never have caught anything bigger than 3 lbs. in that lake. And yes, it is perfectly ok to fish it. And yes, you can fish it from the bank... The other lake on Indiantown was the money lake but something happened there. That's why you see 50 million no fishing signs now. That one had giants in it and probably still does...
I’ve actually been wanting to fish that one too!! The other one on the South Bound side of 95 has some absolute brutes in it! What happened In the one you’re talking about on Indiantown?
I am not sure but FDOT put those signs up a couple of years ago. People used to fish in it all the time. Boats, kayaks you name it. I used to go over there at night at kill it. The big lights that light the road used to make awesome shadowlines and I used to wreck bass on them. The lake on Indiiantown (not in between the turnpike and 95) was awesome to but someone got hurt jetsking or something and sued the town so they closed that one too....
Sup tj. I'm Affraid of kayaks because of severe spine issues and opperations ECT.. Maybe they will make a kayak for people with disabilities like mine after 26 opperations?
Lmao “No Trespassing” signs are everywhere in South Florida 👎🏽 so most of the time you have to risk it for the biscuit. Or try to sneak into residential neighborhood that have some juicy ponds if you don’t have a boat or a yak like me 🤷🏽♂️ makes it more exciting
Dadgum I did not get off work 21👍 I can't wait to get my Hobie passport 10.5 only one and a half payments left till it is mine. You one-hundred-percent inspired me to get a kayak
Kayak fishing has never been better 🔥
Norm! welcome aboard!
All fax 📠🤟🏼🔥
I can not freaking wait 🙄 it is one hellava investment at $1299 but it is gonna be sooo worth it
I need a roof rack for my VW

5:52 when he said that, I though “literally, or figuratively?” 😂
Dude, can Norm drop it like it’s hot? 😂 j/k love you Norm! Keep it up, Yakpak! ❤️
Cool video TJ & Norm !! 👍👍✌😁
That was a cool lookin pond !!
Perfect I'm debating between pdl or minn kota thank u
Thank you you have made my decision on a new kayak I'm going to get the old town 120 PDL that was extremely informative and a great review
5:53 yakpak made the fish do a flip 🤣🤣🤣

Awesome review! Gotta love Oldtown
Kayak fishing is goated can you do more kayak fishing with norm
Absolutely!
i was expecting to get the differences between pedal vs power kayaks.
I grew up in Cutler Bay formerly Cutler Ridge. Ive fished countless little ponds like that and slayed many Oscar and Peacock in the flood control canals. Franjo Rd 305!!!
This is the second time watching this bc I had no other vids to watch and this is a banger awesome vid bro
Came from tiktok nice videos tho dude👍🏽 keep makin them
Will your rods for in the storage inside the kayak? I have a regular size cab so my rods are at risk when i take my Jackson out. Lol
Nice video and overview of the kayak
Great advice!!!! Love ur channel, keep it up!!!!🔥🔥🔥👊👊

Ooh yakpak’s videos are so exciting
Yak be clapping cheeks n head bustin every day

This video didn’t really compare or explain the differences in the pdl and power pedals
I’ve got a kayak and just ordered a kayak rack for my car.. can’t wait to get out there and use it! Been itching to get myself a clown out on ida
Live shiner will get it done for ya!
Norm is such a goober lol great video yak! Thanks for the entertainment man. #hotdrop
What is the length of your kayak rods?
Nice video #OldTownFam, what is your main vlogging camera?
Canon 80D, but my iPhone works wonders when I can’t lug my big camera along 🤟🏼😁
Fishing With YakPak thanks buddy 🎣
I predict, in the future, kayak tournaments will be divided into three categories, paddle, pedal, powered. all three have their advantages and faults. 🤔👍😎😊🎣
Is the power drive and the peddle drive inter changeable
Haha Ive been wanting to put my yak in there as well. Might have to master the 🔥drop 🤣
What is the best beginner fishing kayak under 400$
Can you get OldTown to give me a Friends and Family discount on the big boy with spot lock? Lol. Looked like fun! Keep up the good videos!
how do you turn in the pedal kayak
Pedal i would use for lakes and ponds Power Kayak use for rivers and saltwater fishing
Hey yakpak how well does the powered kayak do in mill foil
It does good. Depending on the thickness, you may have to stop & raise the motor to clean it off. Usually I just throw it in reverse then forward again to get any grass/weeds off and that works perfectly.
Sweet man. The lakes I fish here in Friday harbor wa are nothing but mats. I fish the holes in the Lilly pads and a couple pockets that are open.

What kind of battery are you using? Love my Sportsman MK but that battery is a BEAST!
Just a $90 battery from Walmart. Nothing special at all lol
@@FishingWithYakPak That's what I got too. The lithiums are outrageously priced. I'll just keep lugging around the lead acid. Thanks!! Love your videos! Thanks for being real.
You guys have to come across the ally sometime, i have some juicy spots.
What about the battery situation for the powered
Nice video to keep in mind
You should make a DIY tow arm that you can go from one kayak to the other and tow your buddies
What is the best beginner kayak. Or best bang for buck.
That can only be answered by you. Each has their own pros/cons. For me though, the best kayak for my style of fishing is the 106 Powered By Minn Kota hands down.
That’s awesome 😂😂😂
How much is grass and such an issue?
Over 40k subscribers. 9 hours since video dropped. But only 1700 views!? What the snot TH-cam!?
Sometimes TH-cam doesn’t want to promote certain vids for whatever reason the algorithm decides 🤷🏻♂️😢.. but that’s fine, this Saturday I have something absolutely CRAZY dropping! You’ll love that one for sure 👊🏼😁
Amazing video!!!!!!!
Thanks man!!!!!🔥
One of those would be the best thing in the world!
Videos are fire 🔥
Would love to try one of those out. Scared to death of a canoe
Great vid 👍👍love the vids

Do you use any weights?
Fishing With YakPak yes
How do you go in the link in bio
Hey brother keep up the work
Love the vids
I prefer peddle or paddle over power. Love the workout.
👌🏼
Please come to west palm beach
I call it "take your chances" fishing
So when did he say which one was better? Kinda got lost...
I love bass fishing 💯
