That pole is a great ideal to have. You are the only one I have seen that is smart enough to think about the what ifs . Like if you get stuck you can get yourself out. Smart & cool . 👍😃🇺🇸
It’s an awesome tool. I love it!
I have the same kayak as you. I like watching videos to see how everyone has their set up.
I might have too many accessories on there 😂
Nice presentation- great location as background too
Thank you so much! I love Surf City. It still has that small beach town charm.
Love the kayak setup! No doubt it is a fish-slaying machine. Thanks for supporting US-based manufacturing! -Ryan from Old Town
Ryan from Old Town! Very cool. This kayak has changed my life 🎣
Hi Erin, thanks for the great video about your rig. You were smart to invest in a high quality boat and put it like you want it. I watched your video with Eric and it reminded me what an old fishing buddy told me when I was just 21, you can't worry and fish at the same time. That time belongs to you alone. I'm 75 now at that served me well for a lifetime. I wish you good fishing and don't forget the bear spray and a gun when out there alone. I hope you find that 10 lb trout some day.
Your kayak looks great, really cool!
Very informative. I didn’t realize that a kayak could be so well equipped and versatile. I suppose one needs to set it up for what is most comfortable for themselves, however this was a very good tutorial on setting up a fishing kayak. Thanks so much. Nice to see you without your sunglasses. You have a beautiful smile Erin!
What a trick kayak. You definitely have it figured out and awesome to follow. Your beautiful too!
Hell yeah, amazing setup your running on the boat. appreciate the walk around.
You are so addicting, cant stop watching your videos , and absolute please to look at 🌹
Rail blazer are amazing!
Wow awesome kayak I’ll get there soon
This is the video I was looking for! Thanks for the nice break down of your ride!
Thanks again, for the educational, informative video.
Nice set up. Best setups tend to be the ones that evolve Like yours) over time. Luv the channel Erin - more vids!
Good to see you back, that's the most tricked out kayak I've seen! I didn't realize all the accessories on it until this video. Looks like the fish don't have a chance😄 good will fishing!
Nice equipment rock the boat
Fascinating. Love your setup. Everything is convenient and efficient like a one man band or Go Go Gadget. I’m surprised that you don’t have a sponsor considering the sailboat channels popularity.
Glad your back on Erin. Nice set up on your Kayak. Thanks for the video and the explanation of what you have set up. I enjoy your videos keep them coming. Thanks for naming your gear its hard to get setup as you know. Yeah a trailer!
Only downfall to the Bixpy or any other trolling motor on the yak is here in NC you have to register and put numbers on your yak just like a boat.
I noticed that as well. Erin, have you not registered it?
Same here in Tn.
It’s the same here in SC, I have a Bixpy and I haven’t registered my kayak and I don’t plan too since I fish no so frequented areas
Same goes in Virginia
let me guess it is so they can tax you.
Nice break down Erin. That's one full kayak.
Great video and very informative! Thanks, Erin! ❤️❤️❤️
Nice setup.
Nice video. I really like your kayak set-up. Very informative and well presented. Thanks for sharing.
Hoping to meet someone like you out on the water one day
I've been looking at all the clips posted on here of different mfg's, Dicks Sporting Goods is the closes that carries the Old Town going to try and get over there this week.
Gary
Thank you
Where have you been? I've looked for more videos all summer! The kayak is awesome, but it would be better to see you fishing in it. 😃
Hi your channel just found me. I am in Massachusetts, have same kayak no motor, I have thought about it though and this would be the choice since I would be able to pedal as well. I want the exercise! You seem like a lot of fun to fish with. You actually remind me of me out there lol. Subscribed!!
* I also have purchased a few items from Navarre.
Thanks for this. Looks like a smart set up.
Thank you! I may have too many accessories, but I like them 🤣
Nice bixby setup
Nice to see you again looks like a nice setup I’m guessing much cheaper than a boat and takes up way less space yeah pretty cool I will be watching for some more video’s get busy lol god bless you
Thanks!Yep, I don’t have boat money. So I’ve gradually been rigging up the kayak over the last year.
That's one heck of a nice setup I would probably have to have some way to add stabilizers because my balance is not good as it used to be, seems since dialysis my balance is not so good anymore. 🌹🏆🌹
Thanks for showing your stuff
Awesome Video, love the kayak set up‼️🙌🏻
I’m new to kayaks, I’m interested in an OT PDL 106 myself as well and I can’t wait
Thank you! That kayak changed my life, quite literally 🤙🏼🎣
@@finsandfossils very informative video and I’m also a new subscriber! I also love the color of your OT and that’s the color I want but don’t make it in the Sportsman PDL 106 this year!
Thanks for sharing
New to your channel, you have it going on ,enjoy all your fishing trips.
Cool set up!! Good luck!!
Good stuff!
Nice vid Erin! Railblaza is a great company and have amazing products. We need to have a Bixpy race soon. My Viking vs your Old Town. Keep crushing it but out of the Turkey Creek area, I need catch the fish there.
Damn girl you make me smile
Pretty Cool!!!
Just purchased one of these kayaks and I’m looking forward to unfitting it for fishing in my area. Great video. Thank you.
Glad I found your channel! Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I’m still setting up my Old Town to fit my needs. I have the same Black Pack Pro, love it! I’ll definitely check out that Surf City access sometime, looks good!
Hey thanks!! Yep I know two of my videos, I caught big drum not too far south of there, on both sides. Also some trout!
Two very good, high quality videos from you of late: this one which inventoried your rig (well done) and that other one that I watched a couple of nights ago which was a truly insightful question and answer 30+/- minute interview showing much more of the real Erin, a small peek behind your curtain, so to speak. You are a truly remarkable woman and you are dealing admirably with what life has dealt you. You have my complete admiration and I wish you all the success and luck in the world. PS - I was not able to watch the last several minutes of that interview and I notice that it is not currently up on this site. Any possibility that you can put it back up? Thanks.
Bellissimo 🤩 kayak
Never mind I continued watching and your answered my question👍🏾👍🏾
Your Awesome. Very informative. Thanks so much.
super informative
That’s right up there where the swing bridge used to be! Were you around here when we had *TEN* ocean piers on the island?
It sure is! Sadly I’ve only been in the Topsail area since 2020. I’ve heard many stories of the epic fishing of the past. Too bad I can’t go back in time 🎣
Neat setup on the kayak, I love the videos! How stable is it while fishing, if you’re in rough water? Good Luck 🍀 fishing 🎣🐟🐠!
Thanks for going through your fishing kayak rig. Looks very well thought out and I am sure some modifications. You don't use a depth finder/fish locator (hummingbird, lowrance)? May I ask what you estimate to be your total investment ($$)? Regarding trailers, would a modified jetski, johnboat or rowboat trailer work?
You should consider getting a marine hand-held radio, just in case... a cheaper option could be to get an amateur radio technician class license(multiple guess test) and then an inexpensive handietalkie.
Hah I actually was looking at them on Amazon last week
@@finsandfossils Great! Be safe! Coasties pulled five out of Tampa Bay this week...
Come check out SoCal and catch some 40 inch Halibut or maybe even a white sea bass or Ling Cod !!! Soooo many differenent fun species out here !!!
Thanks for your tips. I was wondering about the HF trailer. Wonder if Rust Spray paint would do a good job, but I'm thinking of getting a Malone that way I can spend time DIY on my yak rather than a trailer.
Nice
Two questions for you, Erin! I fish the area around Sunset Beach, and in NC, I believe that putting an electric motor of any type on a boat you have to register it and display numbers on the hull. I didn’t see any registration on your kayak! Second, is the 6’ stakeout pole enough length or is the 7’8” better? I have the same kayak as yours, but mine is paddle only. BTW, I love your channel and videos!
Yeah I heard that too. I should probably get on that 😬 I guess the anchor pole length is all up to preference, and how deep you want to use it. This size works just fine for me.
Great video. Do you have a link for the screws that hold the bixpy in place.
It came with the hardware 🤙🏼
Pretty nice tricked out kayak. Just want to know how well the rudder works will the added weight of the motor. Is there a noticeable difference?
Actually moving to the area next month and in need of a yak, wonder if you can recommend a couple local shops to check out? Old town is on my short list....
Did you have to get a after market rudder to mount the Bixpy? Great video,I just bought my wife a OT pdl and would like to set it up like yours. Thank you
Nope, I cut the rudder myself. I have a video on my channel where I show the DIY.
Come to Virginia and lets catch some smallmouth bass and trout. Do you ever kayak starting from the beach with all that gear?
Hello my friend love you videos. Just picked up a anchor poll for my 106 MK. What are you using to mount you anchor poll to your yak?
Yes go getum girl!!I was wondering what happen to you??Let's get the fishing going!!!An aluminum trailer would be good for your boat ,make it cradle the boat, plus easy on the little car!!How we get the trailer to you???
I know! The end of the summer was tough with either very hot weather and water, or super windy. So hopefully now that it’s cooling down, I’ll be able to get out more. I also moved into an apartment so that’s made it a little tricky 🤔
@@finsandfossils +Let me know we can hook you up I headed to, Florida now ,I do custom trailer's and all sort's of welding, get out and go fish, I wanna watch it's lots of fun!!
Just curious and you don't have to answer How $$ much do you have in that set up? And have you ever weighed as fully setup?
Question the steering knob that you’re using, is it the “Tall” version or the “Extra Tall” version? Thanks!
It’s the tall one. I just checked my receipt. It works great and is very sturdy! The PDL drive spacers are awesome as well.
Hi I’m a new subscriber. I really like yer minimalist approach to a fishing boat. And I’ve got an itch to start looking at kayaks.
You appear to be fairly tall. Would you consider that the 106 is the right size or would you like something bigger?
lol. I’m 5’5”. If you’re closer to 6’ I’d suggest 12’ yak. And thank you! I really love the kayak. However, with so many spots to fish around here, it limits you to a certain area for each trip. I have some exciting stuff in the works with a Solo Skiff 😎
@@finsandfossils Thank you for your reply and suggestion. I live in MN and I like the close to the water feel of a canoe, but I also think I’d like the pedal drive. Plus the kayak has the fittings for fishing. Does your prop ever get tangled with weeds/vegetation, and how do you get freed up if still on the water
It does sometimes get tangled in weeds. I can feel it when it happens, I just pull up the pedal drive and pull it out. Only takes a second. I know the hobie's have a different style of pedal drive, that may lessen the chance of that, but I'm not sure it has the reverse feature.
Have you noticed any issues with doing the DIY version to the old town rudder vs using the universal rudder?
Have you still been able to use the rudder deploy system or is the weight too heavy for the rudder deployment to work?
Love the setup. I was thinking of buying a 106 or 120. I think i like the size of the 106. Have you tried anything bigger and do you think the 106 is big enough?
Well, I tend to overpack, so I could probably find use for more room, but the 106 gets it done for me. If I were any bigger, I’d want a bigger kayak.
Do you have trouble tracking with the Bixpy with it being on the rudder? I've seen the trolling motors that replace the pedal drives that are more central.
Nice setup ….. me to I’m pulling my Hobie on old rusty trailer. Someone talk me . U can get nice jetsky trailer (aluminum) in SC for $ 1k or may $800. Good luck.
How goes the quiet smoking battle? It really is worth the fight. Greg from Jefferson city mo
Nice Yak setup but with all those accessories there is no place for Oshie to sit
Why did you decide to do the rudder mount instead of the power pole mount? I’m trying to decide myself which method to do
Because when I steer the rudder, the motor turns too. If you have the motor mounted separately, I think you’d have to steer both the rudder and motor simultaneously. I usually use it as pedal assist, not just using motor, so that made the most sense to me.
@@finsandfossilsok cool. Yeah I ended up doing the power pole mount with Navarres offset bracket. Don’t plan on using the motor for actual fishing just going to and from locations. So I just steer with the rudder. Thanks for your feedback and great videos!
Navarre is the best, get in touch with Nick he will solve any issues you have. His TH-cam shows you how to install anything he makes.
I was so happy to come across his products. The pedal drive spacers are such a simple game changer!
@@finsandfossils I have used the rudder control, like you, the rudder bolt, rod rest (which I use for a net rest), floating prop nut, pdl end inserts , and the front and rear seat risers. They are all easy to install and work like a charm. I am anxious to follow you and see how you fish out of your kayak.
How is it that one of your video's garners 950k views and the rest have basically tanked?
Hey sweetie. How ya doin ?? ... Still catching them big sea trout
Hey! Hopefully after the water cleans up!
@@finsandfossils good morning 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 gorgeous 🌹🥰. Save me a couple lol
Nicotine patch tan? Lol
Ok. I’m not being a smartass but if you’re trying to carry that much stuff on a yak ya might as well get a boat. Something around 17’ foot with a jet drive. You’ll be a lot happier.
The prize is it real? I've been contacted via text message.
No it’s a scam!!!
Report the original comment. I’ve been trying to keep up with them but these scammers are tricky
I thought it was cool but your puppy was bored. :(
Nice Ride!

Are you on the patch?
