1:23 that hit from the yella was sooooo satisfying! And then 1:38 the way it just did a back flip 😂😂. It’s an acrobat! And then at 3:12 you took your GoPro off and sat it up straight… how? Mine always falls over because it have the actual head strap attached… What a bluddy good video mate! It’s not even spring yet and your catching not only thumpers but tons of em to… loving the more frequent uploads! Tight lines brother 🎣🇦🇺🤙🎣🇦🇺🤙🎣🇦🇺🤙
Gday mate, sorry I’m late, I started watching when it first came out but had some problems come up in life (our car has a broken suspension on the left and a broken transmission…) so I’m only finishing the video now! I absolutely love me yak, we’ve had 3 people in it. Me, me dad and me 5yo brother, all together about 180-190 kilos and we were completely fine! It’s a bit squishy for lure flicking with that many people but fine for bait! Have you ever had any problems with the oar being a bit short and completely soaking the shit outta your self? Loving these kayak vids man! Keep em coming! Tight lines bro 🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🎣🎣🤙🎣🤙🎣🤙
@@TobysfishingNoutdoors bad news indeed. Product tested weight and sunk at 350kg but don’t try it lol test purpose only. I rarely use the paddles since I have the electric motor. Find a longer paddle but water will get flicked around regardless.
G'day mate. I'll definitely be purchasing one of these. It's a pity it doesn't come with a swivel seat. Would eliminate the reaching back for motor controls. I have seen one with a milk crate for a, seat. It worked OK.
Thanks for taking the time to put the video together and especially for the tip about putting the seat forward for the more hefty types : I've got the HD330 too (only had it out once and even then only paddling) but my battery is considerably smaller - Lithium 12.8V 25AH - while my Watersnake (54 Thrust) looks larger than yours? For a total novice, would you have any idea what approximate run time I'd have my inflatable rig with that battery? I'm old, overweight and unfit so I'm trying to avoid getting caught downstream with a flat battery 😆
So just picked up one of these. My second drop-stitch inflatable. I got it so I could mount a watersnake .I have a 44lb one. But, I've been thinking about the seating as the included one is pretty low. I'm looking at your set up. Are you just sitting on a milk crate with a chair mounted on top of it? is it tied down in any way?
That seating was a quick set up lol. If you search railblaza gear hub you’ll get the idea to sit up higher. There are many more products like that gear hub to help you find what you need. If you do what I did, I attached a boat seat adjuster to hold it in place over the crate. Best to run a jockey strap either side to stabilise it. (Don’t lean back 😂)
@@Kyle_Barber thanks for the quick reply. Its given me inspiration to merge a frame seat and milk crate together with some pool noodle foam for dampening. It will be easy to stand up now. Also sitting higher will mean I wont have to shorten the 36 inch shaft of the 44lb watersnake because I am sitting high enough that the handle will be at least beneath my shoulder height instead of way above it as it was before.
@@AGHybridno worries. Set it up the way you feel is right for you. Let me know how it goes especially with the 44lb and what battery you’re using. I’ve weight tested 200kg already and it’s still incredibly stable. Get a tahwali electric pump if you haven’t got one. My psi meter is set 4.5 either side and 14.5 for the board.
@@Kyle_Barber Yeah I was planning on using 4.5 psi for the tubes and 14.5 for the base. Just give some room for air to expand and not stress the seams. I'm using a LiTime LiFePO4 12V 50Ah. I also have a 100 Ah but - that's a heavy boy - even for lithium and really over kill for a single days fishing an estuary.
yooo, Kyle mate. you just popped up in my suggested videos! yess love how your making fishing videos! haven't seen you since school days! hope you have been well mate!
@Kyle_Barber look up smak spinnerbaits, bro they are just a bad design they always tangle and don't swim correctly I've tried a number of times to use it
Hey Bub. Some awesome fish. They got bigger as the session progressed. Mate I hear, Im also so grateful to my late Dad for passing on his knowledge and introducing me to fishing at an earlier age. Thanks for sharing.
@@Castathon I did pretty well holding everything back for the younger audience. It’s was so hard concentrating on catching a big fish and thinking before I speak. Thanks for the compliment.
G'day mate. I thought you were going to mention more about the inflatable. You probably have in previous videos. How would you rate it? It looks fairly stable. Any problems with it?
That looks like absolute haven for cod, the biggee? Looks like heaven for yellas with the trees as well. Keep up the great work and tight lines brother 🎣🎣🎣
Beauty mate, love the yak, 2 days ago I got me first yella in it, which ended up being me first ever fish in it, Keep u the Great work and tight lines bro Edit: is that in a channel? Or a weir? If it’s a channel hoes it wide enough for the yak?
Beauty mate, I absolutely love the hd330, have u had any troubles with the pin on the bottom fin not coming out? It’s a really big problem for us. Keep up the great work and tight lines bro 🎣
i love my HD330. Went for it as it was on special and was amongst the few kayaks i was looking at that can handle my height(6ft10) and weight (137kg) with the possiblilities to have a motor and a battery, mods ect that wont push the max load limit. First day i got it was just on the local dam on a calm winters day. Next time with my mate along cox's river where there was logs and branches and plenty off possile points that my mind went "oh dont pop", but after the abuse i put it through, came out fine. One thing i found out while cleaning it after a few weeks of use was that the inflatable bottom can come out, which makes it better to clean and prevent mould!
I'm so keen to get myself one of these kayaks. I wanna get out on the water with my old dog while there's good days left, and then keep going to distract myself when the time comes. Glad to hear you've had good luck with snags on it, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. My go-to place is Jamieson and the rest of lake Eildon, with underwater trees galore. You mentioned accessories, what ones did you recommend? I'm thinking I'll get some more mounting points, did you add any yourself, did it go well? That watersnake sounds like a good idea, too. 🤔 Cheers for the awesome video mate, and thanks for giving me the cod itch again! 😅
Glad to hear. The accessories will be railblazer products- rod holders, sticky inserts, cup holder. I haven’t added the inserts yet but I will eventually. Thawali 12v pump will make it easier to inflate. And the fin can be replaced by their fins. I’ll be doing a full rundown in the back yard soon to show the set up.
