Jealous they start so early for you! Let me know when they start. I might head your direction to get my season started earlier if my invitation is still good?
I hope to run into next summer. I bought a bonafide ss127 and I plan on flathead fishing and camping along the river banks. The only problem I have right now is where to park my truck without anyone messing with it or getting towed. I also bought the FML(?) Whisker seeker 9'6" poles matched with abu 7000 c3 catfish special.
I'm a Jackson Koosa guy. I love it. The sling seat is a game changer. I can fish for hours and not have to get out and stretch. Takes some practice but you can stand and fish which is awesome. You have a GREAT set up there I have a Lot of the same features retried onto mine. Sweet ride dude. Love your content.
I have a crescent shoalie right now. Also a great kayak, but for different reasons. This kayak set up I still think is the best if you don't have a boat.
So, I m about to pull the trigger on getting a Nucanoe Ultimate. I like how versatile it seems. I too do mostly catfishing, and loved your set up. If I start publishing my video, maybe you will see some of your experiences passed on.
Sweet setup 👍 I missed this last week Anxious to get on the water myself. Creeks are bank full down here and probably out now for awhile. We got a butt load of rain last night. Probably be fishing bottom fields for awhile. Great video 👍
Does that transducer mount let the transducer reach deep enough in the water? I'm trying to set up my frontier 12. I have a garmin striker 4 and need a transducer mount. Where did you get this one? Thanks in advance!
@Spencer - River Certified thanks man...the person I bought this kayak from mount the transducer with duckseal inside the bow...will it read correctly that way?
Man I ordered some ram mounts a few weeks ago and was waiting until they come in before I take mine out but still haven't gotten them yet. I'm gonna say screw it and go to big Creek after work today.

Very informative video, please let us know what you end up going to for a rod holders. I've also use Scotty's and Ram rod holders in my Frontier & really don't care for them.
Glad you liked the video Pat! I actually have some stealth rod holders on the way. They have a much more compact design and I like the locking feature. I'll put them through the paces and let you know what I think.
Get one with a tall seat and it will help. This one is honestly your best bet for comfort on the water. Keeping it on a trailer will also help save your back.
Nice video. Makes me want to get a kayak. We have a lot of small streams where I live. Wld be perfect for one. How much does a whole setup cost like that.loaded?
Thanks Ryan! With the sonar and everything, probably looking around 2500 if you got everything new. I'm cheap, so I try to get as many used things as possible haha
Man I love that kayak!!! My prowler 13 is a little wobbly at times, may have to look into upgrading. Does it steer ok being a wider boat The seat on that thing looks awesome
It turns easily and super maneuverable. Great river boat. It doesn't track as well as your prowler but it is only 12 feet long. The seat is really comfortable, plus it's on a standard boat seat base so you can replace it if you want. Thanks for watching!
Great video as always! Thanks for posting, I’m always looking for ideas from other folks. I’m very interested in the Flint, have you ever fished/paddled one? If so, how is the stability and comfort compared to the Frontier?
I paddled one last year on a pond, not a river or in any chop. I was able to stand up pretty easily. With that said, it is nowhere near as stable as the Frontier, but few kayaks are. It is a great kayak overall though. Glad you liked the video!
If you gotta paddle a long ways, the pursuit paddles better. I just get tough and paddle the frontier when I have to tho. It paddles better than most people think.
@@RiverCertified I want to do what u do my man, catch big fish. I'm under 200lbs. I would prefer something I could possibly stand in if needed. I almost bought one from a guy in Fremont IA but I was second in line and it didn't work out, Maybe for the best!

Questions 🤔
Iowa - I would like to have a " wide " enough Kayak like you say - when I purchase my new Kayak next week 🤔 I will use only the orrs - no motor of any kind - Do I Need To Register ' Tag ' a Kayak
Great TH-cams Spence
Thanks
We definitely need some more rain this year. You only have to register a kayak if it's over 13 feet long or has a motor.
Great video. I want one so bad.
It's for sale😁
Nice ride!
Thanks JB!
I am ready buddy Couple weeks should get them moving
Jealous they start so early for you! Let me know when they start. I might head your direction to get my season started earlier if my invitation is still good?
I will let you know as soon as I hook one lol the pre spawn bite is awesome for me
What's your water temp out there
Awesome. We're in the middle of forties right now.
I'll find out tomorrow what the water temp is I'll be out for a little bit
Nice setup really like the swivel seat
Thank you! I've been in it a bunch the last few weeks and every time I paddle it i l like it more and more!
We need an updated kayak setup video bro!

If you see me, definitely say hi! Sounds like you're set up for success. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Best boat out there! Awesome set up! thanks for sharing!
Couldn't agree more dude! Thanks for the compliments!

You have a GREAT set up there I have a Lot of the same features retried onto mine. Sweet ride dude. Love your content.
Great video. You should do a map video like Denny did.
Glad you liked it! I thought about doing that, but I would feel a lot more confident talking about reading a river. I'll at least start with that.
Reading a river would be even better!
Awesome!
When will you be hitting up red rock dam for the whitebass/hybrid run? Can't wait for more rivers fishing video
I'll have a wiper video next week. I might try this weekend. Hopefully the water isn't dirty!
@@RiverCertified nice. Hopefully the weather stay good and the fish comes your way
You fish the spillway off a kayak?
Do you still use this same kayak setup?
I have a crescent shoalie right now. Also a great kayak, but for different reasons. This kayak set up I still think is the best if you don't have a boat.
@@RiverCertified think you could do a walk through video again soon? Long time follower of the channel and would be a good video for sure.

I missed this last week
Anxious to get on the water myself.
Creeks are bank full down here and probably out now for awhile. We got a butt load of rain last night. Probably be fishing bottom fields for awhile.
Great video 👍
Thanks Ray! We didn't get to much rain. Kinda the opposite of last year. Should help the mushrooms tho!
@@RiverCertified oh buddy👍
Does that transducer mount let the transducer reach deep enough in the water? I'm trying to set up my frontier 12. I have a garmin striker 4 and need a transducer mount. Where did you get this one? Thanks in advance!
Yep. It's a RAM transducer mount.
@Spencer - River Certified thanks man...the person I bought this kayak from mount the transducer with duckseal inside the bow...will it read correctly that way?
What transducer arm are you using? It looks like it’s good and flexible.
RAM transducer arm. Everything is linked in the bio (I think). Thanks for watching!
great set up. Id like to see a video on how you transport and move that kayak around
Thanks man! I'll definitely include it in a video. It's not too tough. Lift the front into the bed of the truck, lift the back and slide it in.
River Certified is that the 5ft bed Taco?
Yep. I do use a bed extender for the frontier 12 though. Don't need one for the fronter 10
Man I ordered some ram mounts a few weeks ago and was waiting until they come in before I take mine out but still haven't gotten them yet. I'm gonna say screw it and go to big Creek after work today.
Hope the fishing treated you better than it did me. I got snubbed up by Boone
@@RiverCertified same here man, but I spent most of the time making my way across the lake lol
@@FishingKit Wind is definitely not your friend in a kayak haha.
Real nice. Have u tried a tandem ride at all? Also whats that cost to register?
These can be converted to a tandem, but i never do. I like having my own kayak. Registration is $15 every 3 years
Nice video Spencer! When do you think you will be going flathead fishing?
Thank you! Probably sometime in May. I'm toying with the idea of going south soon to try and get one sooner.
I feel it in my bones you are going to catch a giant!!!
I have a used h2 pro drive pedal system for frontier 12 for sale in Iowa
Rodger that. I replied to your email
River Certified didn’t get your email I sent another one with my number
What changes have you made since this video was posted
Not really anything
Once u get done going down river in ur kayak how do u get back to ur truck? Does someone pick u up?
Sometimes. Or I start paddling up river and float back down.
What can you get for this kayak.
What do you mean? Like accessories?
Brand sorry

Hi Spencer! I'm trying to make the decision between the Frontier 12 and the Pursuit. Which do you prefer?
I prefer the frontier myself.
Very informative video, please let us know what you end up going to for a rod holders.
I've also use Scotty's and Ram rod holders in my Frontier & really don't care for them.
Glad you liked the video Pat! I actually have some stealth rod holders on the way. They have a much more compact design and I like the locking feature. I'll put them through the paces and let you know what I think.
Did you change out the scotty rod holders? If so what are you using now?
Yep. Switched to stealth. Really like them!
Abt how much is your whole kayak setup, curious?
About 2 grand probably. I save a lot of money when I drink less beer haha
I just bought a frontier 12...what is the two threaded holes for on the left side?
For mounting the steering handle if you get a peddle drive or motor. Hope you like it as much as I like mine!
Which one do you like better pursuit or frontier?
I like the frontier better. It's more stable. Kinda miss my pursuit some days tho. Thanks for watching!
Think bout getn a kayak, I have a bad lower back,would u recommend me buying one?
Get one with a tall seat and it will help. This one is honestly your best bet for comfort on the water. Keeping it on a trailer will also help save your back.

That’s not to bad brand new. Definitely cld cover a lot more water in those streams. Thx man
Did you decide on a different rod holders? Thanks
Yessir. Went with stealth today holders.

$500 for my Coosa HD if you know anyone. it's the 2016 green/black one. Power pole and dragon fly are extra. :*
2016 Jackson Coosa HD Pro
(2016 Colors: Dorado (Lime/Slate/Black))
I paid $3800 for it
That's a smokin deal dude
Where are you located at? Iowa?
He's in Webster city. Look him up on Instagram
You have a good wife. she videos for.and.cooks. keeper 🎣
I feel very fortunate. Thank you!

What size drift sock do u prefer?
I have an 18" and 36". Honestly wish I had one that was at least 42" to get my speed down to 0.5 mph on those windy days. Thanks for watching!
It's really a bummer when you knock the lower unit off a canoe while up on plane.
😂😂😂 I saw a video of a guy who put a 5 or 6 horse on one. It was pretty entertaining.
Your wife sounds like she was ecstatic as mine when I showed her the ins and outs of my frontier. Lol
It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one haha. Thanks for watching!
Wow, 41 inches wide, that's awesome. Thanks for the overview, really nice kayak and setup!
It's a tank! Still paddles pretty decent tho. Glad you enjoyed it!
Better hurry because her vegetables are going to be done hahaha
Hahaha I'm glad someone enjoyed that! Thanks for watching dude!
Do you prefer the Frontier 12 over the Pursuit you were using?
Definitely. I love the stability! Thanks for watching!
River Certified awesome, thanks for the response. I’m going to buy one this week and am torn between the two so any helpful info is appreciated.
If you gotta paddle a long ways, the pursuit paddles better. I just get tough and paddle the frontier when I have to tho. It paddles better than most people think.
I'm on a serious hunt for a kayak, any recommendations for $1000 or less, preferably less lol.
Nucanoe flint sneaks in at 1000. Honestly though, it depends on your size and what you plan on doing with it
@@RiverCertified I want to do what u do my man, catch big fish. I'm under 200lbs. I would prefer something I could possibly stand in if needed. I almost bought one from a guy in Fremont IA but I was second in line and it didn't work out, Maybe for the best!
@@Mr.T-BAGGIN-UR-MOM the nucanoe flint would be good. A Native Ultimate original would be another. An ascend H12, although that one is kind of heavy.
@@RiverCertified thanks brother, I appreciate you and your advice. I hope "I" catch a giant .🙂 I'm gettin a yak!
@@RiverCertified sorry to keep buggin bro but I'm looking at a nucanoe, can I get one in iowa or do I have to order?
What transducer arm are you using? It looks like it’s good and flexible.
It's a RAM mount. Love that thing. I have Links to everything in the video description
