CORNISH KAYAK ANGLER - Kayak Fishing Blog - kayakfishing.blog
I live in Cornwall and get to paddle and fish in some of the most beautiful and productive waters in the UK. I have been kayak fishing since 2012 and have fished for many years more. I enjoy fishing for numerous species that are found in our waters - from the small mini-species up to larger specimens. I also participate in several kayak fishing competitions across the UK. I currently work at Cornwall Canoes - A Kayak Fishing Specialist Store - and get to play with some of the coolest fishing kayaks and kayak fishing gear available on the market!

Great video on anchoring the kayak. I’ve been trying to track down the pick-up buoy on line with no avail. Can you give more info on this product. Thanks
super thankful for this video! I don't have access to the inside of the hull - will the trifold rivets be strong enough for a handle? Kayak weighs about 80lbs and I would need the handle to support about 70% to assist in getting the kayak into my truck. Thanks!
Excellent video. I am so thankful you did this!! We just bought a pond prowler 10 and want to add accessories. Looks like we have several options. Thanks again for a great teaching video!! God Bless!
Phew thanks for explaining all that. I have an old ocean kayak and its riveted fittings - handles and straps are somewhat sun rotted ready for replacing.
My fav is rivet nut plus. Similar to trifold pop rivet but stronger. And much better than standard rivet nuts which are akin to ordinary pop rivets. They produce a threaded hole that accept the matching machine screw. Works great on sheet metal such as on cars. But with care they do OK on plastic and fiberglass hulls as well as aluminum boats. I tend to use smaller sizes below M6 to avoid drilling large holes that rubber expanding nuts require. They have a lot of strength and are a step up from jack nuts too.
I ended up going with the same fish finder, installing on my Hobie Compass this week. Have you flipped the kyak yet with the fish finder on? Interesting to see how it would hold up.
Great video. I am installing anchor trolley , and one side i can only use well nuts. I listened the instructions and drilled 3/8 hole and now as you mentioned rubber is spinning and the attachment is coming off. I used adhesive glue also. Do you think i should go one size bigger on the well nut and tighten? Thanks
Some people are complete novices and appreciate the full explanations. Luckily for you RU-vid is a wonderful place and there are plenty more videos for you to choose from 😉
Some rivet guns will push into the gaps with a bit of force. Some are just way to big. Either by a new rivet gun with a smaller nose, or if yours pushes most of the way in, just slide some washes or a nut over the stem of the rivet so the nose of the river gun can compress the rivet against that. That way it doesn’t need to reach fully into the gap down to the rivet head. Hope this helps!
Another quality video. Cheers pal was thinking of going for sae 2 connectors for my set up but now seeing thes super seal connectors you have changed my mind. Cheers again 👍
