This fellow was too much in love with that buzz bait early on. Unless they were really blowing up on it I would have ditched it early on. I grew up in that country and did a lot of fishing on the Big Piney, the Gasconade's major tributary. If I'd have been fishing there I would have tried a weightless Yamamoto Senko. I would have thrown it up in the faster water and let it wash down into the heads of the holes. Although this fellow fished a lot of good water, he paddled through some of those shoals I would have fished. I usually paddled through the longer, deeper holes and concentrated on the areas adjacent to the shoals or the smaller, swifter pools. I did like the fact he that later on he threw a jig into that deeper cover in or near current. He had better success when he did that. In fact, I would have been fishing that stuff and paddled through some of the water he was fishing.
Can someone please tell me what the ports are called that the cables for the troll motor are run through? I can’t find anything similar online for installing one on my kayak. Any help would be hugely appreciated
I really like your kayak setup especially how you did the power Motorhead I have a pelican 100 catch Pro I would like to do the same setup for my power Motorhead do you have a video that show how you did it or do you know of any videos that can show me how to do it once again I love the way you have your set up. Awesome 👍
*This makes my old motor look like a toy **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's well built. I haven't had it on the water yet, but I'm very sure it will perform just fine.*
Great videos great kayak watch for one on your trolling motor on the ascend was wondering if you could describe to me what the fitting looks like is it round at the bottom and did you have to screw it to mount it and did you use the regular shaft that you got off the trolling motor to attach the head to the fitting
I use trailer hooks on the my bigger buzzbaits. The plastic gets caught up a lot in the trailer hooks on the smaller buzzbaits. If you trim down the plastic enough typically a trailer hook is not needed.
Right before the trolling motor you have those 2 black plastic pieces that hold your rudder tubing and are screwed down. Where did you get those? I need that badly!
I found it to be very stable. The primary stability wasn't great but the secondary stability was. Standing wasn't easy since the lack of primary stability would cause the kayak to rock quite a bit. However, sitting and leaning over the side to net a fish was no problem for me as the secondary stability was great and I never feared flipping.
Bad ass vessel she's beautiful. I finally recieved my new feel free moken 10 V2, camo green. I purchased my 2.5 suzuki outboard, with a side fitted transom mount island hopper outboard makes. Put my scotty outriggers on. I've only had her out once from morning to nite. I reached 11.8 mph, with most of my fishing equipment. This winter she'll get more accessories, like a little kid. I did want to ask, did you re-do the floor deck, or is it factory. I want to put a softer decking with more grip. But that kayak is sweet. Love all our differences in setups..Be safe..
Love the setup! I am currently trying to do this same type of thing to my 128T and I was wondering how you are transporting the Kayak with the stern handle covered up by the trolling motor? I made a set of wheels for mine but it isn't always the easiest to maneuver.
I used a trailer for while and just backed it in the water at ramps. Decided to to ditch the trailer the last year I owned it. Transported it in the back of my truck. I would slide it out into the water on the ramps. I never had a need for a back handle.
Thank you so much for the links. I’m going to use a lot of your ideas as I move forward with my project. Would you be willing to shoot me an email incase I have questions? j.malone888@yahoo.com
Hey bud what did you use to mount the head to the starboard and can you explain to me the wiring that u did from the motor to the plugs to the battery and from the head to the plugs thanks bud
I used a pipe cutter designed to cut copper plumbing line. It clamps on shaft then you just rotate it and tighten it down as you go. Makes for a nice clean cut and you don't run the risk of accidentally cutting any of the wires in the shaft. Don't for get to turn the motor upside down when making the cut. You don' t want any of the shavings to fall inside the shaft and down into the motor itself.
This is a very nice set up how much is it to set that all up, electrics and motors. My next question is how did you know how to do this, did u watch a video or know a buddy
