Kayak Fishing With the Kids 

Who is "view crew" ?

I think he means the group who refers to themselves as "The Googan Squad." LunkersTV, Jon B., APBassin, Andrew Flair, and 1Rod1Reel. A lot of their videos are actually pretty enjoyable. They do a lot of vlogs (traveling, eating, touristy type stuff) in addition to fishing videos. There have been some hard feelings between Gene and this group of guys (really just Lunkers and 1Rod) so a lot of folks are unsubscribing from one side or the other, and comments are going back and forth to all these channels about the situation. It's a shame, because there's room for everyone as long as they can keep it respectful and professional, but some things have been said/done that are going to require an apology, and that has yet to happen. I hope they get it all worked out. Gene posted a video explaining his side of things and asking for a truce, but Lunkers/1Rod have yet to do the same, so the fanbases are still pretty divided. Could be fixed pretty quickly if everyone can set their egos aside.

mainly I'm just referring to the 2 guys involved. I just said view crew for those of us that know what happened from the first video and genes video yesterday. Just wanting to show gene some support. I think him, glen, tactical, lfg, mikeyballz, Scott martin and some others do a great job of keeping it focused on what fishing is all about. There is a place for everyone and instead of dogging out people who put themselves out there for the world to judge and who i dont know, I'd rather let the guys who I enjoy know that I do.

Coach Dad #16, im trying to find that same video you spoke about so I can understand what's the beef between these guys. Think you can help me out by finding it?

Robert Haeberle It is no longer up for public viewing.

There is a technique of fishing the Ned Rig that is just like a shakeyhead but the Ned Rig can be fished a lot of different ways. I've got a good video about that somewhere on my channel.

Thanks!

hey bud. I personally have better luck with a small shakey head rig than a ned rig. ned rigs arfe okay for numbers: about 10-20 5"-9" smallies. but with a shakey head (I like to use the strike king dreamshot for my shakey heads) I catch about 2-4, 2-4lbers.

my name is Matt my cell is 9105457216 my email is combatantbaits@gmail.com

Could you explain what happened to me? I missed everything.

Randy Barentine there's no "god".

When I first start them out it's on worms and crickets but as soon as possible switch them to artificial lures

Probably not. ;)

Dropshot and Ned Rig

Used the ned rig for fist time last weekend caught 5 largemouth and lost a really good one at the boat thanks fluke for teaching that technique

He will have to make sure it's okay with his wife.

Reaper it is😃😃😃. Thanks for watching!

Zach Kane brother im from lake george area. if youre down lets fish

Zach Kane I have to be in Rochester on Monday for work. any good ponds you could refer me too?

Chris check my channel out I have a few videos from Eastman Lake and Durand Lake in Rochester NY that I fish often. Also Irondequoit Bay and the finger lakes of course!

FishOn0099 I will definitely do that. Thanks.

The best sub-11 year old kayak is the Jackson Skipper

Gabe Abeyta he's sponsored by Jackson now

There are a lot of reasons. It boils down to the fact that Jackson is a better fit for me and for the majority people who watch my videos. They are a great family business and understand what I do and will let me do it my way. Plus 99.9% of everything they make is made in the USA.

To be honest the hobie deal was a seven video deal last year. I finished the deal and kept fishing in it. I just recently signed a full contract with Jackson Kayaks that I'm excited about. They just want me to fish out of them. I don't have to do any crazy promoting or anything. How cool is that?

Flukemaster cool, how do the Jackson compare to the wilderness you tried before

That's a wildy attack 14 nice

Flukemaster Jackson rocks! you'll like them

Flukemaster That's awesome, I'm looking to get a Kayak and i'm wanting to get a Hobie because you can stand up in them.

Nathan Lee sport fishing

I assume since he was fishing a ned rig, and those look like the genuine Zman jigs that he's using the Zman TRD's on them as well. Great bait. They catch a lot of fish and will hold up a LOT longer than a Senko.

On this trip we paddled up stream for as far as they could handle and then drifted back to the ramp. Drift trips are usually a little more complicated. Drop a car off at the take out point and drive the second car with the kayaks to the ramp. Go fishing. When you get to the pick up point someone stays with the boats as the other drives back to the ramp to get the transport car and comes back to get the boats. Then drive back to the ramp to get the other car. Sounds exhausting but it's never as bad as it sounds.

Flukemaster That's about what I figured. The only other time I did a river trip was as a teenager with the Boy Scouts. We got transported up river to our starting point and paddled down stream back to our camp.

Gene described a 3-person solution. If it's going to just be you and your wife, you'll need both vehicles to be transport capable.

Let me re-phrase my comment: if you want to drive to the take out point only once, then you'll need both vehicles to be transport capable.

I am surprisingly impressed.

They love it. It was a little too small for my 14 year old but it's perfect for my 7 and 8 year olds.

Flukemaster I put my 10 year old in a coosa and he did really well in it but when we got into current it was a little goo much for him to handle. I am hoping that the skipper will make it easier for him.

agreed!

Wes Smallwood - Angler there's no "god".

I really don't notice the difference except the Jackson doesn't have arm rests to get in the way.

Flukemaster thanks Fluke! also have a frog rod question. is it hard to throw a 1/2 ounce hollowbody frog on a heavy rod? I have never owned a heavy action rod and need one for mostly frogging but also punching/pitching if I need it
