    I purchased the Leverage landing net because I saw how well you handled it ...now my PBs are better. They get in my yak. When I wired mine I kept all electronic components off inside hull bottom as I dont want water in hull contaminating/flooding ( shorting) system. Outstanding rig!

    Hi Gene, newbie to kayaking, so bought a huge Big Fish 120 . Saw on the Fishing Father a easy cheap way to mount my 39 lbs thrust trolling motor. I use a 100 amp hour lithium battery which sits behind my seat. I am a Canuck Snowbird ,travel south to Lemon Bay Florida Stay November to April love fishing

    What an awesome set up. Rigging up a kayak without taking filming into consideration is hard enough - I couldn't imagine rigging this thing!

  • @justasimpleguy7211
    @justasimpleguy7211 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your SS127 is a serious rig! I recently picked up a Topwater 106. I was going back and forth between it and the Bonafide SS107, but the $400 savings came in handy for other stuff I needed (I spent way more than $400. Man, it adds up fast - LOL!).
    By the way, I got a lot of helpful tips from watching lots of kayak vids, including yours. Thanks for your insights and taking the time to document and share them!!!
    By the way, I'm having a blast with the kayak! It was a blast researching and conceiving how I'd rig it, it was a blast putting it all together and now it's a blast on the water, and this is coming from someone who's spent over 50 years fishing out of rowboats and canoes in the 'Dacks. It's a very different perspective on the water.
    It's also a lot more stable than I would have thought and it's easier to land fish, or at least that's how it feels to me. Another thing is looking in the direction of a low and setting sun on a clear day leaves a much, much longer and intense glare in the water.

I served in the navy, we used blue lights on the inside of my ship, can you try blue lights in your cockpit. Blue lights do now hurt your eyes that much. I just wish I could fix my kayak like yours.

    Hey boss man, have you ever thought about making a video for fishing in heavy algae. The lakes where I fish have a lot of algae that piles up on the edges of the lake and some areas it's along the bottom for like the first foot. It's real stringy slimy clumpy makes it hard for a beginner angler to fish in, only thing I have found is soft plastics, thank you.

    I’m still pretty new to fishing. What six rod and reel combos do you bring on the water with you and what is each of them for

    • @chrisgiroux9356
      @chrisgiroux9356 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm sure the rods he takes varies on the conditions he's fishing. For example if he's fishing a lake with lots of pads and heavy cover he's going to bring heavier rods to get them out of the cover. If he's fishing late summer he's going to have lighter rods for finesse fishing (drop shot etc). Do you need help selecting rods or were you just curious? Look up the 6 rod and reel bass fishing system (wired2fish) and that will give you a general idea/baseline

    • @Flukemaster
      @Flukemaster  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The coosa is a great kayak. I've paddled one many times. The biggest differences between the two are: The Coosa is lighter, faster and more maneuverable because it is designed for rivers and fishing in current. The SS127 is more stable, catches less wind, tracks a little better, has a more comfortable seat, and much easier to stand up in.

    Any issues with the 8lb downrigger ball with the Anchor Wizard? I have a 4lb downrigger ball on my Anchor Wizard, but I find that it doesn't hold very well in the wind.

      That's why the 8 is my smallest anchor. Anything smaller just got blown around.

    Sweet setup man. I'm finally going to be getting my first fishing kayak. Nothing fancy, but a sit on top for sure. Thinking between the big fish 105 or pelican catch 100. I drive a 4 door car so I'll have to take it on and off myself. I know the big fish is 20+pounds more than the pelican but seems better built. Any words of wisdom would be cool. Appreciate the videos!!

    I'm curious as to how fast your boat will be? I have a 96 hydra sports 18'6" fiberglass boat with a 96 Johnson fast strike 115 on it. With 15 gallons of gas and my buddy and I and all of our gear we hit 43 mph on the river the other day. Can't wait to see how fast yours is. I'd bet yours would hit 50 at least?

      Wow man. They have an in house repair shop that is very good. When they take a look at it I'd really like to know what broke on it. Just out of curiosity. The only time I've had one of their reels crap out on my quick like that is when an extra spring has accidentally been dropped inside the housing during assembly. It didn't rear it's ugly head until I started using it hard.

      In kayak tournaments we use Catch, Photo, Release. We catch a fish, put it on an approved measuring board, take a picture of it and then release it. So we go by length and the best five fish by the end wins.
