Great video.I been looking at this kayak and also the 136 auto polit did oldtown ever fix the Noise or grinding that the motor did make on the epdl. And Would love to see u do a video with both kayaks and give your pros and cons
Been a Kayack fisherman in South Florida, we like to fish @ Spanish River Park, great for Kings and tunas, sometime wahoos too. Love your show, tips and videography. Good work
Thanks for the support! I’ve only fished Navarre and Pompano Beach. First time hearing about Spanish River Park. Would love to get further down south one of these days.
Good information. I was out at the helipad June 8th. Breakers were at about 3 feet. I was on an autopilot using NK300 motor. No problems getting out. I was thrown out of kayak between 2nd and 3rd sandbar coming back. My first time offshore with nk300. Didn't flip kayak. I just got thrown forward and out. I obviously have better control with1 to 2 foot waves. I'm not a fan of the square back on my Autopilot.
For those who prefer calm surf settings, this is my reverse surf entry technique. Please keep in mind that once waves get to a certain peak, this technique becomes irrelevant.
How many volts you have remaining is a very inaccurate metric for consumption. It should be measured in amp hours. Voltage will remain pretty constant until it's dead. Lithium batteries are different than lead acid.
Bro I have a 60amp battery and I’ve done 9 miles and never run out and I do use speed 10 to go 1-2 miles from point to point. I’ve also gone 2 days in a row without having to charge and never ran out and you can buy a lithium for $300. It is faster and lighter as well so big mistake
Dude just came to say thanks. 12% of one of my video views are coming from this video. I absolutely love my Oldtown 132 pdl. The bigwater is the best kayak in my fleet!
Your recommendation to take off the prop and rinse the shaft and shear pin works great. I have a 2019 Sporstman PDL 120 and fish the coastal waters of Maine. The original prop shear pin rusted and left me paddling back with my hand paddle in the fall of 2020. I was close to shore and didn't feel like changing the pin on the water. In December of 2020, Old Town sent me new and much improved prop shear pins. I have been out on 167 kayak outings with my PDL the past three years and all I have done to combat that salt water is fill a 5 gallon bucket with my fresh well water and dunk the prop a couple of times as soon as I get home. Works great with no corrosion seen, easier than taking off that prop everytime.
Whats up guys? Chris, glad I found yall again!!! So much work out there in the field I never had time to recollect my videos with yall. Im home for two weeks and catching up on this channel. Watching you guys tag these beasts are pure enjoyment on my end!! I wish I had enough time to get there in corpus and tag myself some monsters. But for now watching you guys smash these big girls always makes my day better!! Please , keep doing what your doing, anglers all around really need to watch yall in action. Ive been following you for years now and it never gets old bro!! Tight lines never stop!!!!
Welcome back to the channel bro. All is good here man. Making a run at the Elite Fishing Championship later this year and continuing to crank out much more content soon. Thanks for all your support!! 🤙
I ordered myself and my youngest son aa Bigwater a few weeks ago, should be in for April / ice thaw! Demo'd everything I could, and the Bigwater was the fastest, I felt I could stand okay and it's reliable and priced right.
Never had the guts to try that... I've fished in 35 mph winds on lakes and had to deal with someone who didn't understand wakes from a power boat. But those are choppy in nature as compared to something rolling through over and over. I totally "felt" the hips comment you made though. I can remember fishing KATS at Lake Fayette in high winds - they almost called off the event. They were coming from the direction of the power plant so there were no trees to block the wind. I decided to head across the lake toward the power plant and was trolling as I went. Caught a nice bass and while I was taking him off some really big waves came through broadside and the only thing I remember is keeping my body in the center and letting my hips do all the work. I unhooked that bass in record time. A lot of people capsized that day and I'll say a lot the reason I didn't was because of my Big Tuna. But moving the hips to follow and keep the center of gravity in the right place had a lot to do with it.
Okay, it's absolutely amazing that most of the strategies you landed upon by trial and error, are almost EXACTLY what was taught by the US Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat / Surfman schools during my days in the USCG many decades ago. Watch videos of the USCG training surfmen at Cape Disappointment, WA, and you'll see motorlifeboats employing many of the same strategies you are using, but on a much larger scale. Good job!
Trident ultras were the best, old school is the best school, peddles are all around easier but just love the paddle more? Cheers man, get another dinosaur
I’ve always loved paddling more but got into pedals when I started competing. I have them all lined up from paddle, pedal, to motorized. Still put in tons of time in the surf, it’s one of my favorite things to do. 🤙
The continuous auditory drone noise leave me questioning the silence of the ePDL system under fishing conditions. Thanks for the informative, but the sound mic & long distance dialogue exchange on kayaks does nothing to convince a serious, discerning fisherman that this is worth the expenditure.
Nice video Chris! I miss my Trident sometimes. Woulda been great for TX coast. Im pumped for King season this year buddy, this vid already getting me fired up!
@@NextLevelFishingTV How does it compare to the Trident 15? Less of the bells and whistles, just the essentials like the tapered rocker on the bow, big rear tankwell and center hatch that can be cut out to access the entire hull? Also lighter than the next gen Trident?
