Fishing all my life, and recently decided to make a run at kayak fishing. Just bought a used (2014) PA14 off FB marketplace. Not cheap, but I'm a LARGE man and really don't want to swim if I can avoid it. My first 2 times out, I left all the fishing gear at home and just went site seeing. I flipped in a boat wake on round 2. Fortunately, my dad said to find a calm place and flip the yak a few times practicing rolling it back over and climbing back in. Which I did during round 1. When the real thing happened, I was back in the seat within 90 seconds. Start simple and find what works for you. See you out there. I'll be the guy wearing SPF 1000 sunblock.

learning how to get back in is a good tool to have. It's gonna happen and you learned how to do it early and the right way!

Thanks for the great video. Can you possibly do another one on kayak positioning and controlling position on different types of water.

I just bought my husband and myself a basic catch 100 for fishing. I'm a newbie to kayaking but I'm a Texas gal who grew up fishing. Hubs not into fishing but loves photography...I have my first trip planned 2 weeks from now. Thank you for your video and the info!

The 100 isn't too bad as a starter kayak. I've actually fished out of one. It does ok for the pricepoint.

Great video! I think people buying just the kayak then deciding accessories as they go is by far the best way. Also agreed get a GOOD paddle if you’re going to be paddling at all!

Great video for those who can be overwhelmed with all the items. I still have my kayak now that I bought in 2022 and I love it it’s the old town PDL 106. Works for me. I wish The native 12 five was available when I was buying a kayak. I have everything but live scope. Curious to see what the eagle 9FFS has to offer, waiting for the reviews. One thing I bought that I only used a couple times with the anchor wizard I thought I needed it, but it didn’t really suit for me because I’m always moving.

I did the same with the anchor wizard. Went all in with a setup then ultimately never really used it. Even on the river I find it to be not as useful as I envisioned!

Thanks for sharing you of preparing the right way for beginners I’ve been regretting the first day on the water in a kayak and how much I want it to be battle ready the first day. Honestly what has helped redirect this idea is watching your river adventures and than during the kayak adventure series which has lit a fire under me to prepare and start organizing a ultra light fish and tackle setup for those adventures. So thank you tight lines and this needs a part 2 God bless. One last thing would you or do you use a power pole or anchor wizard on the river?

I don't use an anchor wizard. It's one of the things I own but never really found a need for. A lot of that is having the NK 180 on the Shoalie however. I'm not opposed to a micro power pole though. I've contemplated getting one!
