Just got my first kayak and coming across this video was very helpful... I'm a pretty quick learner so once I have everything adjusted correctly I'm sure I'll be tearing up the lakes in no time

Chad Hoover I am relatively new to your channel less than a month and I think your method of instruction is fantastic. But then again as a Navy veteran myself, I can recognize when another Navy veteran (especially a 20-year one like yourself) knows how to give good instructions and training. Keep up the great work. Thank you for all that you do.

I just bought a fishing kayak, and am awaiting for it to arrive. After years of not being able to go fishing (long story…), I can't wait to get back to the water, but I have never been on a kayak before and did a lot of research before purchasing it. While looking for info on RU-vid, I came across your excellent videos, and I think these are just perfect. So...I just wanted to say thanks, Chad, for these very well presented and informative lessons, and I will try my best to take what you've taught out on the lake with me.

@Edge1775 6 лет назад

You hit it right on the head for peddlers, I pedal to get to where I'm going. after that is mostly paddle the ruder on a pedal kayak cant come close to the paddle as far as maneuvering especially for small movements when being stealthy. As always good stuff Chad, Thanks for all you do for the sport and stay.. Bowed UP!

Between these latest videos and reading your book I'm actually noticing a lot about my habits and able to make adjustments necessary. I'm enjoying these instructional videos more than ever. You've mentioned several things that I notice about myself and being able to identify where I'm having difficulty and using these instructional videos it's much easier for me to make progress. Thanks for dropping this helpful bit of knowledge on us bro. Keep it up!

@AlexCiarlillo 6 лет назад

Could you show how you rig your anchor? Do you use a trolley? Do you remove it before you load/unload your boat? I find I rarely bring mine because it seems to be more hassle than it is usually worth deploying and pulling it up + positioning it. Looking for ways to be more efficient on the water, as well as getting on and off the water.

@stoneysdead689 2 года назад

LOL- You just solved a problem I've been having now for over a year. Crazy thing is- this is probably about the 5th time I've watched this video and somehow I kept missing the part about paddle length and not letting your drip rings go underwater.. now I know why I keep taking a bath every time I go kayak fishing. My instinct was to buy a longer paddle- I'm glad I watched this- you just save me a lot of money and aggravation. Man- I've been trying to ask you about this problem for this whole year and the whole time the answer was in one of the first vids of your I ever watched- this one. I don't think i was describing it clearly enough for you to understand my issue- I need a shorter paddle man- or maybe to just adjust my drip rings a little- we'll see. I think have a 245- I'm about 5' 11"= in a much lower seat than you, and a more narrow boat. I bet i need a 230-235 at most.

@ChadHooverFishing 2 года назад

Sorry about that but it sounds like you have it dialed in now. Thanks for watching

@stoneysdead689 2 года назад

@@ChadHooverFishing Yep- the shorter paddle really helps a lot- makes kayaking so much more enjoyable. I went this morning and for the first time I didn't get wet, I reduced my rods and gear enough to be comfortable but sill safe and effective- caught some beautiful bass, had a great time. Thank you so much, you and Gene Jenson helped me get the hang of this more than anyone- took over a year but, I'm finally glad I bought my kayak.

@blaneembry6462 6 лет назад

BEyakin Good info thx!! You might have covered this already but what kind of protection do you have on the front part of your Bonafide? I just got the 107 which I really like it but do a lot of river fishing with rocks and want to protect the front keel.

Interesting. I keep the blades symmetrical, and both hands stay on it. Paddled 9 miles on one trip and didn't even get tired

@fostermcmillan 5 лет назад

What length paddle would you recommend for a wider boat like the Frontier 12 its 41"

@jonathanscavs9334 5 лет назад

I'm 6ft lanky arms and I use a 240cm paddle I find it works good for me especially when you use the correct strokes I cruise fine I cant see using a longer one bc I feel as though it would get in the way

@suhwateezea.214 4 года назад

Is paddling with an offset paddle angle a must? I've always had my paddle blades completely even. I also have not paddled my SOT fishing yak yet

@joshstockman7285 6 лет назад

Was just searching this still looking at which paddle to buy.

@rbleda 5 лет назад

Hey Chad, I am new to kayaking, well I kayaked last summer and I had had gotten a 220 cm long cheaper paddle. I didn’t think like one guy on RU-vid said “Your paddle is your motor” . It made sense to me. Do you think I’d be able to get a decent paddle for about $150 that’s not heavy. I am thinking about going with a 230 cm. long paddle. My kayak is called a fishing kayak that I got from Dick’s Sporting Good Store, but it’s not like you can stand up on it and it’s not wide like a ocean kayak. I can’t wait to hear from you! I love your videos! Hope to hear from you soon. Rick

@tyroneedwards8498 11 месяцев назад

@ChadHooverFishing 11 месяцев назад

Yes I have a couple of them. Thanks for the compliment. What type of getting in and out are you looking for? Check the description box of my newest videos, I have several linked up, you can try my Playlists and also just search for it and include my name and it will be pretty easy to find them. Here is one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BfCyll9hzzs.html

@BernPisarcikJr 5 лет назад

Chad, my son and I went fishing today, he was on his SS107. He is 10. His hands hurt from paddling, almost like where riding a bike hurts. Do you have any recommendations on a set of gloves he can paddle and fish with? I did coach him on your teachings of a glue and grease hand. Thank you

@texassasquatch6467 6 лет назад

Hey Chad, I’ve been looking at getting into kayak bass fishing. Do you have any recommendations for entry level kayaks that would carry me? I’m 6’6” and 375lbs. I’ve watched your other videos for picking an entry level kayak but they are to small. I don’t really want to spend more than 600 on an entry level kayak. Thanks!

@sonnywilliams684 3 года назад

Hey brother, I pray all is well. Have a few questions. I'm a big guy, 6'4" 350lb and I am wanting to get into kayaking, primarily ocean style. What would be a good starting kayak for me and what would be a good starting paddle?

@feorr1 5 лет назад

How fast can you get going and how stable are kayaks really and im looking at spending about $800 altogether what would you recomend oh and im pushing 300 lbs

@familyfishingdon 2 года назад

Hello Sr. I'm just learning a little bit about kayaking, What is the use of the longest pole in the back part of your kayak?

@ChadHooverFishing 2 года назад

That’s the pole for the Power Pole Micro Anchor.

@steveschlegel1293 2 года назад

Hey Chad. Great instruction on how to paddle. Been on a SOT (Ocean Kayak Trident) for 25 years. Always been a low angle guy for no particular reason. Just seemed right. I’m purchasing a Crescent Crew very soon and trying to figure out if I need a new paddle, then blade style, and length. I currently have a 25 year old Werner carbon fiber 230 cm. That paddle suits my flat sweep stroke just fine in a 28” wide OK. But after watching your video and going to a wider (35”) yak and discovering I need to get a lot steeper ( don’t want to be a 13’ Zara Spook), I think I should go with a BB paddle with more of a pear shape blade. I’m 6’ tall. If I don’t go adjustable, how long a paddle do you recommend? And I will be developing a much more high angle stroke. Thanks for opening my eyes.

@ChadHooverFishing 2 года назад

I agree with your assessment. I will be discussing this more in upcoming videos
