Hi, Nice rig. I've been kayak fishing for about 6-7 years over here in Minnesota. I started in an old Perception and now have a Lightning Strike. I haven't been out yet this year as I like to be comfortable, and it's still pretty chilly for this old guy (69). Cheers neighbor :)
Thanks. I fished out of a $250 kayak for about 18 years before moving up to more expensive ones. You can learn a ton about being an effective kayak angler from using a basic kayak without sonar and other fancy gadgets.
Yes, no need to buy new kayak, I watched your show ,,unflappable " filmed about year ago? It is doable at anyone wish and desire on own time and garage☝ it is an upgrade but money well spent 👌
I’ve been looking at the PDL 106. Lake Michigan I literally two blocks away from. Do you think the 106 would be ok not too far off shore? Or should I just go for the 120?
If you have the option, I would go for the 120. I have fished for salmon on Lake Michigan in several kayaks ranging from 9.5ft to the PDL120 so it can certainly be done. I do think the PDL106 would be fine. It might get tossed around a bit more in the waves due to the shorter length and lighter weight (higher center of gravity). If you live close, you could be more choosy about which days you go out depending on weather. You could also stay in the harbor on poor-weather days.
Sounds good! I am just undecided lol. I would have to store it in storage and I have a smaller jeep so that’s why I was leaning more towards the 106. I’ll take a look at both of them in person and make my choice. But it’s good to know that I can’t go wrong either one for the fishing I’ll be doing, thank you!
@@FishingwithNatI found a good deal on PDL 132 that also came with a trailer. I have the option to trailer it now and I also have j hooks on my jeep that can support up 130 pounds. I am really looking forward to setting it up and taking it out on the water!
@@freddyj5845 Awesome. I think it would be awfully tough to get a 132 into the J hooks, so I'd vote for using the trailer. Good luck - be safe if you head out on Lake Michigan in the cold weather. You can catch big brown trout in the harbors or near shore at this time of year, but that cold water is a killer if you go in the water.
Nice video Nate. Your audio was nice and clear. Keep up the good content. Nice to see another RU-vidr from Wisconsin. Tight lines and keep up the good work!
A wise man learns from the trial and error of others… A kind man shares what he learned from his trial and error with others. You are a kind man and I hope to be a wise man. Thank you.
For the clothes line anchor, how did you replace that line with Paracord? Did you remove the retractable line the clothes line came with and put in a new Paracord? Or??
Yes, I took the reel case apart, unwound the line, cut it off, tied paracord on, wound it on, and put the case back together. The reel is under tension, so you need to jam it with a screwdriver or something in order to keep it from spinning while you get the paracord tied on.
Watching this after a reply to another video, cool setup, defo don't need to spend a fortune, love the clothes line anchor, very intelligent thinking on that one, achors can be dangerous in close quarters. I have a lot to learn about land fishing, this will be my hobby watch until I am experienced enough and have the money put aside to invest in one, I don't fancy a boat as they come with costs I don't want to discuss. Although boats are handy, they also have hidden costs and other crap that's needed to make them safe! Plus who wants every man and his dog with you when you want to catch fish? Note to self: Buy solar powered light :) one can always learn and always forget something that may save ones life! Always something to learn!
