Maiden Voyage on a New Kayak! Let's Catch Halibut 

Thanks and congrats!

Thanks Jun!

Thanks zoë!

Thanks! Looking forward to fishing the central coast this summer!

Great minds think alike 👌

@@FishermansChronicles be careful with the plastic clip tho it can break off so my recommendation is that you put a floater on that clip

Gotcha, thanks!

Thanks for subscribing! Pedal kayaks have become very popular in the San Francisco Bay, they are great for fishing.

Thanks for finding :)

You are right, I did not bleed this particular fish but usually do! They do come out much nicer

Thanks!!

Yes - I could put in at the front. The back gets crowded with the cooler bag if I also put a box back there. Hobie outback has more back space, but Salty PDL has storage space at the front

Thank you!

No, sorry

​@@FishermansChronicles fasho all good no worries

Thanks! Yep! Almost done with classes now, lots of fishing lined up for summer

@@FishermansChronicles I look forward to your upcoming videos. Still in environmental science?

@@theoldsurffisher1943 thanks! Yep! Environmental biology

@@FishermansChronicles Sounds great and fitting!! Me: 3 degrees in Wildlife Biology: Humboldt State, UMass and U Alaska, Fairbank

@@theoldsurffisher1943 nice!! I really want to go into conservation

Glad to hear that, thanks for subscribing!

Nope, i have plenty of halibut videos inside the bay

Thank you for following along all this time! Coming up on 3 years since that video

Interesting. How do the straps damage kayaks?

@@FishermansChronicles It’s definitely possible to secure the kayak to your roof with the ratchet straps but it’s easy to do it wrong. Mainly You have a ton of leverage to permanently warp the boat especially if it’s hot. Also depending on the kind of ratchet straps you have it’s a his huge metal buckle that can wear on the boat especially if loose.

@@harleyharrison9180 gotcha. Thanks for the info. Ill be sure not to over tighten

Happy to share👍 keep up the great videos

Even if you pull the cam buckle straps as tight as you can, it won’t damage the kayak? I’m new to kayaking, thank you!

Thanks for watching and congratulations on your first kayak! In the bay, I just check tide and wind. For the tide, i use “Tide Alert”, and for wind, I use “PredictWind”

@@FishermansChronicles Thank you very much and keep it up with the great videos 🤙

Hahaha ill take what i can get!

Shes all good, just didnt come on this trip

Thanks!

Thank you! the PDL 120 seems perfect for flatter water. I was very surprised by how comfortable it was, it's a bit like sitting at home 😆

They mostly do the job
