Good job Tim, I love your set list! I do the same thing, but I try like hell to memorize it. On your fish-finder FYI they make an awesome suction cup mount that I've used for years. It's great. On your scuppers, I found those plastic golf balls tear easy, especially when you have to remove them. Great video though, A+ effort. Thanks, mate! Fish on! P.S. theres a great mod you can do to that Frabill bait tank. It might not matter as much in freshwater, but I take mine in the ocean. I'm in development on a new bait tank. 5 gallon. It is epic!

I have mine set up similar to this. When I first put the seat in there it was to straight up and down so I removed the lil rubber stoppers that the base of the back rest hits when fully open. It allows the seat to lean back just enough to make it more comfortable. 👍

That was a great video. I appreciate you making it. I want you to try and kayak fish for salmon and steelhead. Now that you gave me some really good ideas. I could probably even tie the fish to the boat for a Time after I catch them. Of course they'd be dead by then. Where are you putting your fish? Is it in the crate? Is it in the cooler? Or is that for your lunch?

Hey Ed, I fish in local lakes, the water is pretty calm, I've never felt like I was in danger of flipping. If your in ocean waters, I would look something maybe a bit wider. But it's very easy to load and unload. I just put a trolling motor on it which has been a game changer. I just put a video out on that. Hope this helps

I like the pipe clamps you put on the sides and back, just what I was looking for. What did you use for screws? Did you seal them? My paddle holder clamp came with two nice screws with rubber seals, sort of like a molly bolt. Haven’t been able to find them locally. Oh, the hand paddle is pretty cool also. Was thinking about something like that today as the wind would slowly turn me.
