I think it is videos like this one that get you the most loyal subscribers. These videos you make that teach us is what helps get people like me into kayak adventures. Then we continue to watch your videos until the next time we get to go on our own adventure. Bravo on the teaching videos.

2:10 Was looking for a way to anchor in the middle of strong current. I think the right answer is simly not to.

Brush Grippers are the BOMB! I have the old Blakemore version with the thin teeth, Thanks for the tip on the heavy duty model, I tell everyone about them that buys a Kayak, they are/were Hard to find.

Best teacher ever

Another trip to Johnston bait and tackle in the near future!

Nice. Whenever I finally get myself a fishin kayak I'll take heed.

Very good 👍 I need to get a pair of those jaws. Safety first for sure. We had a catastrophic event down here last weekend with some folks that were at the mercy of the river. Lost a man out of it. Not good

I just stumbled across this video today. I’m only several years behind 😂 But this is GREAT advice! Thank you so much for this!

Great tips. I need to find some time to take the yak out before it gets cold here in southern illinois

Good tips. This green horn kayaker can use all the help he can get.

Very helpful! Thanks for the info

Super helpful. This clears up a lot.

Great video keep up the good work

I fish in rivers and estuaries on the kayak didnt think about using anchor trolley to stake in on the side bank , i ordered an anchor today the small 750g never anchored before sounds scary man , I've got an 1.5kg but it seems too much weight for the currents I fish if its too swift I will not go, I use two sand sinkers on one rod to hold me in place 😄 , i'm still learning though thanks man🤙

We are not to far from each other my friend. Guessing you in the Des Moines area. I'm 60 miles NE of there. I have fished the Iowa river in a flat bottom boat for 30 years. I'm thinking about buying the Ascend 12t and fishing the same river. The jams I normally pull into has me a little concerned with the kayak. I was wondering how well it would handle that current in and around the jams. Your video was somewhat helpful to me. Basically stay out of the high current areas. What river you fishing down there and what kind of yak you running?

Thanks fo rthe brush gripper demo and link. Ordered one today. :-)

How comfortable are you on bigger rivers like the Missouri River size? I live close to it and there’s plenty of log jams I’d love to drop lines in but unsure if it’s possible to paddle back up the current!

Thanks. Very helpful.

Love the video and always very helpful. Had 1 question, where do you put your paddle so it's not a problem or in your way when you catch a big cat?

Man this is making me want to head back out and buy another kayak.

Thank you Spencer

Would like to know where you got your anchor stick 🤔 looking to get one for the boyfriend who kayak fishes as well

Great video thank you

Sweet vid

What size stake out pole are you using

What kind of kayak do you own?

Nice you can also tike a rope your kayak and tie a brick on the other end. I’ve done that but if it’s a windy day you will spin lol

Thank you for the video. I realize it’s an older video, but what anchor trolley system do you use? I have a Sportsman 120 and have been using just a brush grabber and tying off.

Nice video, for sure. What brand anchor pin is that?

Very smart! But what about those giant ass spiders that hang out on the underside of those logs…?

What did you make your anchor pin out of? Is there a previous video for it?

Is there most of the time only one Flathead in brush piles.

I need to buy a kayak....

Save yourself a few bucks on the grips & learn the clove hitch
