So i guess fish are going over the falls and not dying? How else would they get there? Down river is miles of class 5 and 6 rapids. Dont think they can swim up it, or want to.

Of course it's the American side. They don't allow cool stuff like this on the Canadian side..... unless it's a giant zipline that takes up tonnes of space. Screw natural and accessibility. Canada wants zip lines!

very cool man I just got a 5hp Honda which is great for one person on a 11foot SIB. Looking for upgrades and seems like most companies these days the 9.9s are actually detuned 20s with big weight. The Tohatsu 9.8 EFI that just came out seems like a winner.

If no budget limitation Antares DC. Or just start with Lews BB1 pro, that one has great adjustability and casts very far after tuned in.

This is a good solution but unless you have long portages over rough, hilly or uneven terrain, it seems a bit overkill. I use a similar strap system on the PVC cart I created but I cut the strap in half and permanently attached each "cut" end to a rail on opposing sides of the cart. When the kayak is placed on the cart, it takes all of 5 seconds to simply pull each strap over the top and snap the buckle - just like putting on your seatbelt. It may not survive a tornado, but it easily gets my kayak from my truck to the water each and every time. The headline does say for a "ROUGH road" so I'll just add that I've had mine topple over sideways on occasion and when it did, was still securely attached to the cart so I simply set it upright to continue. I continue to be dumbfounded by the diminished capabilities of people to figure anything out anymore. I think if you need a video to know how to strap something down, you probably shouldn't be hauling those items.

This is really useful. It seems to me this little "experiment" suggests that there's no good reason to keep using plastic baits on jigs, which is especially relevant in light of the latest research on potential pollution effects of soft plastics - see a new paper from Wolf-Christian Lewin and co-authors called, "Soft plastic fishing lures as a potential source of chemical pollution - Chemical analyses, toxicological relevance, and anglers’ perspectives." I'd post the link but I think RU-vid doesn't generally allow that. Easy to find through a search.

When people finally evolve enough to understand how gps motors actually work, the complaining crowd will shrink. The computer has to make small adjustments, THEN analyze the RESULTS of that effort, reconfigure, readjust, then do it all again, all while depending on a satellite to send it ALL the information. NOW, on a CALM day, how can spotlock possibly work???? Answer? It CANNOT. That's not what this was designed for. Spotlock can only make adjustments to a CONSTANT force (a breeze) pushing the gps puck in one direction. There are no brakes to stop the boat immediately after each and every adjustment, so, it CONSTANTLY is trying to correct itself. Testing accuracy of a gps motor on a calm day is absolutely unaccredited and the results are hogwash. You must first understand how they work before you test them for judgment!

@SteveChenFishing 2 месяца назад
