I was thinking about it but since it’s on the smaller side for a kayak I decided not to haha. Plus the back area I put my yak attack crate there where a trolling board motor is supposed to be there if I wanted to add it on.
I just got this kayak today…I have 2 questions. How do I get the rudder to lock in the down position? It just springs back up after I pull the red ball. And What is the little screw that came with the Allen key for? It’s a tine screw with no head on it..just a cylinder shape.
Once you pull the string for the rudder, pull it tight and lift it back up until it cinches in between the crack where the rudder strings comes through. You can probably get creative and make something to lock it into place. The screw I don’t use it and haven’t found anything that requires me to put it into use.
@@KennyisBusyFishing ok cool and thanks for the reply I just didn’t wanna go on the water this weekend and start sinking and then realize that it’s because the instructions were horrible and i couldn’t figure out where that screw went 🤣
if you haven't realized by now, most people aren't gonna tell you where they launched from or fished.... don't know why, I guess it's that sacred "don't tell where you were" thing. oh well, you just gotta learn the delta and try and take note of the surroundings. they might tell you where they launched from, maybe not. But that's as much as you'll get from them. I never had a problem telling anyone where I fish and where I CAUGHT. but that's just me.
Nice video can you do more intro and outro talking to camera like u did in past it’s nice to see you talking with passion about delta thanks nice vibes
When I’m onto to the fish and I start to focus, I forget to talk sometimes haha. But believe me I got a lot of love for the delta and that is why I fish this place 99% of the time.
Nice video. I have the same kayak. I've had it for about 2 months. I love it. I never had a kayak until I bought the modular kayak. I'm pushing 70, so a pedal kayak was just right for me. The modular kayak is so easy to handle, and store. I also live in California. I just went up to Silver Lake, near Kirkwood. There were a few people fishing, but no one was having any luck.
@kimourchi7382 yes I have used my modular kayak in 2-3 feet roller waves with winds up to 20mph(30MPH gusts). I do not recommend taking this kayak out in those conditions due to its smaller size. Optimal conditions to use this kayak safely is 1-15 mph wind with 10-20 mph gusts. Any higher wind and gust than that and you’re putting yourself at risk to capsize.
I like your kayak. I just bought the Reel Yaks modular version. I'm a geezer, so a full sized one is just too difficult for me to load and unload. The modular version is ideal for me. Each half is a bit over 30 lbs. I had a problem with loose rudder cables, but a quick email to Reel Yaks tech support and they send me some new parts. It was easy to fix. Nice video by the way.
I am thinking of getting a reel yak 9.5 but with a pedal drive propeller type. Do you feel the kayak is stable? Is it hard to learn to fish from a kayak?
Stability is somewhat stable but I wouldn’t stand in it and fish. The kayak itself is durable and it handles against the wind well. Fishing from a kayak is completely different than fishing from the bank or on a boat. Shorter rods are better and learning how to maneuver the kayak to get better casting angles is crucial to getting bites. It takes time and practice but once you get the hang of it, kayak fishing is extremely fun!
I have this yak after watching your first video . Been out twice. Legs get a but tired and maneuvering the yak in just small bits its a little challenging considering it takes quite a few peddles to turn and wide turns Found myself using half a paddle to keep me straight. Hopefully, practice with my anchor will help. Minn kota hook up by monday. Thinkin ill upload a video. Nice fishin man!
@@alhenry92 it’s not much like a native watercraft or old town but hey it gets the job done! One advice I can give you is do not go out kayaking with this kayak if the wind is 15 MPH and up with 20 plus mph gust. It does not handle heavy wind to well.
I’m pretty sure Texas has some monster sizes as well! Usually in lakes or reservoirs they spawn a bit deeper and live on bottom structure such as rock piles, brush piles, etc
