@@FishAnything It's a low maintenance boat and I'm going to get me one in the Photic Camo color for it matches my vintage 94 Chevy K1500 truck !!! This boat is light weight and easy to carry to the water and it's no brainer for me and yes now the price is around 1'300 bucks but it'll last me my life time now 62 !!!
Your question at 2:30 about weight capacity: total weight capacity = weight of the boat plus availability weight capacity. They are saying you only have 298 lbs of paddler and gear before you’re overloaded. Or, the weight of the empty boat counts against the total weight capacity.
Been waiting for this upload! The 119 is just a fun hybrid to have around. I’ve been floating the Little Red River here in north Arkansas the last couple weekends and fishing for trout. Went and checked some public land out for deer and duck hunting seasons coming up, only accessible by small craft. Did a little squirrel hunting out of it last week while fishing the local creek by the house. Blast and Cast type of deal. It seriously is a do all, super minimalistic boat.
Total weight vs usable weight means that they count the canoe’s weight when calculating how much you can carry. Total weight is usable weight + kayak weight.
Great review Ethan! Boats like this are great for exploring backcountry waters and places with difficult launches. Also, a great grab and go design; simple and lightweight if you only have a couple of hours to fish. Some of the reasons why I own my Grumman 129 Solo canoe. Glad you got to slime her up with some beautiful panfish. And a nice juicy perch. What a hoot you had out there! 😂
I use a wilderness commander 120, pretty similar, I’ve had it since 2011. It’s a perfect grab and go boat. Looks like the discovery is one in the same. The best part about sit in kayaks is that you can just throw it on your shoulder and go carry it to more remote areas. That water looks like Lake Eufaula, pretty cool stuff.
100% agree. I have seen those boats as well and have always thought they were awesome. I think Native has a similar one too. Any hybrid canoe/kayak gets a thumbs up from this guy :D
Yeah I definitely need to return with a bigger rod to chase largies and pike with. Honestly though I didn't get the impression there were a lot of big fish in here.
Bought my Discovery 119 3 weeks ago. I've had it out on the water once. I'm modding/moving the Ash nylon webbed seat BACK Aft and UP to the Top of the Gunwales. I can't stand a Canoe that makes me feel like I'm in a Kayke. The seat is too Low and is about on mid canoe. It's got to feel like a Canoe.
Oh great! I just got caught up on your vids and saw this bad boi in your st croix rod review. I love small crafts! I swear I spend more time tinkering with my gear than actually fishing.
Man I thought that was a canoe but it's a nice kayak man. I see it's long enough for you for as tall as you are you still have plenty of leg space. It's definitely awesome if you going camping that's for sure.
@@FishAnything I had a 10' sit in kayak, a 10' sit on top kayak for fishing they didn't feel right, I have a 17' canoe that we go fishing in but it's to much for just me to go fishing, I figured I'd be more comfortable in this style kayak/ canoe. Thanks again.
Hey Ethan. After 2+ yrs, is this still in your fleet? Do you use it much? Been looking to replace my 80lb Ascend 12t (that is like paddling a cinder block!) with something lighter. Some of the waters I want to fish around here require a little carry-in which I REALLY need something lighter for.
I still have it but it actually lives at my parent's house now. I still love the boat, but I tend to use the pedal drive kayak more often because it is much more comfortable to fish off of.
I have a nucanoe flint but I’ve realized that standing isn’t that important to me. Is this canoe better in the wind since you sit lower in the water? I’m like a sail on the flint lol.
This is a fun canoe but because it is so light, you are likely going to have challenges with the wind in this rig as well. Wind is pretty much an issue for all paddle watercraft. Getting pedals makes a big difference!
Almost back in stock! Stay tuned to the social media pages I’ll post updates! Sorry for the inconvenience - lots of supply chain challenges worldwide right now!
Hey, in your "All ultralight anglers need to use it rig" video, what reel are you using 🤷♂️ just found your channel and know i will enjoy your content 😄
If you need to stand, I would opt for a more stable rig. The Pelican will be a good rig but if you start fishing in the yak a ton, you might end up wanting something that tracks a bit better. Some of the major fishing kayak name brands tend to be a slightly better long-term kayak. Let me know how else I can help :)
Bought my Discovery 119 for about $850. Is it worth it? Well,...? It's certainly not one of the Old Time Lincoln Fiberglass Canoes we had back in the 70's and 80's. I really miss my old canoe.
I’ve watched a few review videos about the old town sportsman 119. Every single one the review is painfully forced. No one trusts standing up in it and rightfully so but they all fake like “yeah you could def stand”. It was designed to fishing and hunt in and yet this reviewer suggests it’s better for exploring than fishing. Yikes.
I am sorry you feel that way. As you can see in the title, this is not a review but simply a product showcase/fishing adventure. Also... I am not a hunter so I wouldn't necessarily think to show that in this boat. Regardless, I think it is an awesome boat and I would recommend it for fishing, camping, and other outdoor adventures. I believe it would work to do some waterfowl hunting out of as well but, again, I am not a hunter so I may not be the best one to ask. Have a great day!
