Welcome to KAW Fishing! Join me in exploring fishing opportunities in the Pacific Northwest, primarily in western Washington / Puget Sound area. I’ll look to provide informative content that will provide knowledge for beginners/inexperienced folks to come out and enjoy the great offerings of the PNW. Fishing, crabbing, clamming, salt & fresh water, tutorials, catching, and cooking. Stay tuned for adventure!
Hey there.. I know I'm pretty late to the party, but I have a suggestion regarding your line puller mount. E-Z Anchor Toggle Locks are what I used. I prefer these molly bolts over to basic toggle bolts because this holds tighter and longer, plus it doesn't leave the back toggle to fall into your hull what you take the screw/bolt out. if you need to take out the screw for whatever reason, the spreader is one piece so it stays in place to use again and again. I used a sealant caulk on the thread just below the screw head for extra adhesion and waterproofing. Hope this helps someone!
Just got mine today and it has all types of dents and deep scratches i sent photos too them and told me its in mechanical working order so they wouldn’t exchange it. Its kind if unacceptable the condition its in for what I spent and i would have too pay around 400 for a return
hello, please tell me, is this boat good for sailing in a big river (2km wide), with a stream speed of about 5 km/h, without a motor - only with oars, against the stream ???
The original Dayton Marine Sportyak boats were made in Detroit Michigan at Woodall Industries (they had a patent for vacuum forming) and were made in 7 foot and 8 foot models. We had a 1966 Sportyak ll model 7 foot model that sold for about $35. We sold that and got another one in 1980 a Sportyak lll 8 foot model which we still have with a 7.5 HP Sears Game fisher motor. My dad worked there for 42 years. The Sportyak original boats were used on the Grand Canyon Colorado River trips for they were almost indestructible and U.S. Coast Guard approved. Take care and thanks for your video. Those are nice little boats. There is another company that makes them now for Woodall Industries was bought out by Eaton.
Just got a hobbie and definitely interested in the setup! Or if you want to go out and want some company I'd love to go out my first time with someone who knows what they are doing. just lmk
@@KAWFISHING I'm gonna try this out offshore fishing Miami. Have never seen a kayaker here using a downrigger and lures ever. It makes perfect sense to troll along reefs.
Beauty. I grew up near that beach. It also has geoduck. And cockle shell clams. But it can be closed often due too red tide. ( Toxic shellfish poisoning ) And vibrio bacteria ( human sewage waste bacteria ) it's important to follow the health restrictions
This is great! Thanks Kaw I have been using a lake troller, but I want to try your for salmon in BC on Canada's west coast. What weight cannonball do you use. Would 8lb be too much? Or would you recommend a 6lb weight? Based on your video I attached the Scotty 1026 pedestal swivel mount to reduce the drag when trolling.
Thanks! I would say 6lb is probably the max I would use, any more and it makes tracking much more difficult, especially in heavy current. Especially if you're not able to maintain speed.
I was out there 2 week ago in a kayak and it was awesome. I was thinking of going back after this cold snap. Do you know how long the squid season last?
Enjoyed this video. It reminded me of a New Years Day trip catching squid off the Edmond Pier. The local people were very helpful in showing a squid jig. I caught enough for a calamari fry for the whole family. That was 30 yrs ago. Looks like it’s still a great time
We are new to the South Puget Sound area (military family). My 10 year old son is dying to fish for salmon. Do you have any recommendations on which areas (creeks/rivers) we could try to take him this weekend to catch some chum? Thank you!
Anywhere on the green river should be good right now to try or try the Hoodsport hatchery for a popular spot for chum. Best spot is to be out there, good luck!
@@hollyinhell Silvers are definitely better table fare but if you're looking to get a good tug in, give Chum a shot. lbs for lbs, they put up a great fight, fantastic catch & release fun for November!
Your camera field is off. Your action is above the viewer's screen, not interesting. Will stick around a few more minutes then I'm gone. Work on your screen field...
