Simple question...what a dick

Great idea on drilling the holes and using baits later.

Chris Pearce - 6 years ago

How are you guys insuring your kayaks? My local guy through nationwide so he can’t do it

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

Chris Pearce I don’t

Nice yak I have the same one works great I like your setup

Rich Schnippel - 6 years ago

well laid out, nice work. I almost bought that kayak...it's a great boat. I ended up going with the Jackson Big Rig, I was nervous about stability and the Big Rig was a bit wider...both nice boats though. well done on the rigging.

Steven Sae - 6 years ago

Man, that is a nice setup. Keep fishing.

Drackkor - 6 years ago

117 pounds doesn't sound like something anyone would want.

Edward George - 6 years ago

How did you replace the line on the clothes line. It looks like I would destroy it taking it apart.

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

Edward George very simple. I will have to make a video on this as I've had a bunch of questions. Pull all the line off, cut it and tie it onto paracord and wind it back in. I'll make a video soon.

...I forgot to ask do you have any issues with the KeelEasy...I'm looking at the same but concerned it may peel off with 90-100 degree heat days in Florida, Louisiana, Texas...(?)

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

Hummer4u2nv we don't get as hot here but I think this stuff, once it's on... it's on. It's very adhesive. Get it on there good with a heat gun and make sure it's all stuck with no wrinkles or folds.

Hummer4u2nv - 6 years ago

I've heard nothing but all good things about it, I know the actual product is rugged, but my worry was about the 'adhesive' becoming soft in the heat of FL,TX, LA. Those States we have 90-100 degree days and thought it may peel of if the adhesive becomes soft from hot weather(?)

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

Hummer4u2nv it won't peel off brother. Stuff is rugged!

Hummer4u2nv - 6 years ago

I finally received the 2017 PDL I told you about last month (thank you for the sticker advice). Now I'm adding all my accessories that I need, for both DEEP BLUE ocean fishing as well as shallow fresh water fishing. Off the coast of Florida, Louisiana, S Carolina, and N Carolina I go saltwater fishing for Kingfish, Tuna, Mahi/Dolphin, and Lobster diving...sometimes 300-400+ feet deep...especially the reefs & wrecks of Key West and Islamorada. When I go freshwater fishing in the Florida Everglades, Louisiana Bayous, or Lake Grenada Mississippi I mainly go for Bass and/or Crappie (Speckled Perch). I have chosen to put on a Helix5 (w/ CHIRP DI, SI, GPS, and Sonar), Yak Attack HD anchor trolley system (w/ quick release Float/Buoy) for unhooking during BIG Tuna or Tarpon 'sleigh rides' :-D Since I also fish a lot during night, I have put several Bluewater LEDs on too (2-8inch navigation red/green on front bow, 2- 40inch white on each outside edge in middle (for netting area or attracting bait near kayak), 4-8inch red for night vision inside the cockpit and tank-well during the night. 3 waterproof switches for inside, outside, and navigation. I use a 12v/10amp battery for LEDs and 12v/8amp battery from Cabelas to run the Helix5. The PDL hands free really helps to hold onto rod when fighting the fish and/or fighting current. INSTANT forward/reverse with feet like a bicycle.

What do you have on your terminal tackle box to keep your hooks from moving around?

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

Paul Brown I used rubberized padding that goes under carpet and glued it to the top

Real nice setup man I'm gonna steal some of your ideas

jay love - 6 years ago

Fantastic work. Enjoy man.

Hummer4u2nv - 6 years ago

I recently found/watched your video and catching up more with auto-play. I also 'liked' and just 'subscribed' too. QUESTION: I am getting newer Predator PDL and interested in adding stickers like you did all around the kayak. I am concerned if they won't stay put or start peeling off? How did you prepare the surface? Is there any advice or suggestions to make them stay better/longer?

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

Hummer4u2nv they will stick just fine. You won't have issues u less you put them in an area that gets a lot of wear like rubbing on your vehicle or anchor trolley. The stickers I have are good quality and I don't have any issues.

Brett Sisson - 6 years ago

How have you secured your crate, or is it just sitting in the back ?

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

Brett Sisson front of the crate has Velcro attached to the metal support bar and the back has a bungie cord over the rod holders .things solid

Fred Keeney - 6 years ago

Fantastic video! Very informative, thank you for sharing your innovation.

Jerry F - 6 years ago

Nice work bro!! Where do you find epoxy glass? love it :)

Jerry F - 6 years ago

Maine Trout Whisperer Thanks

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

Jerry F had it Laying around from something else. Your a get it at Home Depot or any window place

John Lutz - 6 years ago

Nice set up, I have the PDL and this will work well with it to, especially like the simple lure holder (drilled holes) great idea and the hog trough holder. Subscribed.

kyle melanson - 6 years ago

How did you switch the clothes line to 550 cord? Did you open the case? If so how? Or did you cut the clothes line and fuse it with the 550 somehow?

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

kyle melanson it's very easy. Pull out all of the line inside the case and then when you get to the end put vise grips or something on the line so it won't go back in. Cut the line and tie on the paracord right to the end of the clothes line. Release the vids grip and it will spool up. Then just cut the paracord accordingly

Andy Bates - 6 years ago

I am considering buying a kayak, and since I just took up fly fishing, this video has just cemented my decision to buy one! I am going to check out all your other vids! Keep up the great work!

kyle melanson - 6 years ago

Do you recommend Side imaging or Down imaging for a fishing kayak? I'm looking at the Helix 7 but not sure whether to buy the DI or the SI

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

kyle melanson I believe the si has both correct? I really haven't used it much but I like both features. I think the side imaging may be more desirable. I can pick out submersed logs, rocks, cover that I paddle past that I would otherwise miss

BloodSweatnBass - 6 years ago

Nice set up!

TNBassinTV - 6 years ago

Sweet rig man! Thanks for sharing!

William Pohlmann - 6 years ago

Some great ideas... Thanks

SlikRik - 6 years ago

Hows the retractable anchor line working for you ,I tried it ,did not not last very long, sucker rusted out.

SlikRik - 6 years ago

yep saltwater,

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

SlikRik works good. You use it in salt? I'm fresh water only

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Awesome setup! Your Hawg Trough holder looks a lot cleaner than mine lol. Good stuff man.

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

Greg Blanchard haha thanks Greg! Well I've only used it once. I'm sure she'll get all chewed up this year.

King Yama - 6 years ago

how many inches or feet of the keel easy did you use? i didnt see the link in the gear.

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

King Yama I used all but like 3-4 inches, but I went all the way to the nose. It comes by the foot

King Yama - 6 years ago

how much did you use? is it worth getting 4ft

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

King Yama woops, didn't add that. I bought 4 ft of the 2 in strip

Zach Fisher - 6 years ago

Nathan Ingersoll - 6 years ago

That's a sweet set up, I just bought a 12 foot aluminum boat and I'm in the process of decking it out, this video definitely gave me some ideas!

Reel Warrior - 6 years ago

I have the same kayak! Love it! I assume you transport the kayak in the bed of your truck, do you put bow or stern in first?

Maine Trout Whisperer - 6 years ago

Reel Warrior I use a kayak carrier that slides into my trailer hitch. Keeps it from bouncing all over. The link to it is in my description. I put bow first usually.
