Great channel! I’m a new subscriber and seriously looking to get first fishing kayak. I’m on Gulf Coast in AL and have both inshore and bass fishing freshwater interest. I’m 56; 6’3” 315 and no $500 choices available. I’m looking at Native’s Titan 13.5 so having to save some bank for it. I could find cheaper paddle alternatives but knowing my own limitations, peddle is a must. I’ve also looked at Old Town PDL. Hobie is great, but $3800 is too much.
Any alternate suggestions?
Thanks for the great vids.......keep them coming!

Can you recommend any good spots to catch red I'm just now getting into kayaking

Tonio Yendis - 7 years ago

Those things just don't look comfortable. You can not even stand up if you need to...can you? Plus you gota row out & back in! I need a motor...lol...

Zach Willard - 7 years ago

My first kayak was a ascend 10t from bass pro is out standing for only $549.99

vhaanlen1 - 7 years ago

Costco always has 12 ft fishing kayak in the spring for 400. It's an awesome yak for the money.

Mitch Finn - 7 years ago

I got a kayak for like 399 its perfect. Why spend ridiculous money like 1000$ for a kayak. My kayak you can stand up on it and it doesnt wobble.

Alex Melia - 7 years ago

The minute-long intro is a bit overkill.

Crazy Ass _MoFo - 7 years ago

have you ever flipped over while kayak fishing?

Texas Redfish Hunter - 7 years ago

once, my first time when I was in a 10 ft pelican

very much appreciate the tips. I love the channel. I'm living on the banana river on the space coast of Florida now so I am highly motivated to get out on the water. I have been learning a lot from your channel. thanks for sharing.

what kind of spinning reel are you using?

have you taken your kayak on the ocean

20. comment for Getting Started Kayak Fishing | Tips for Beginners

Brooke Powell - 7 years ago

Any reason you use a spinner over a baitcaster?

Jerry Sanders - 7 years ago

my first kayak was a lifetime tamarack 10' paid like 240 online works great ill probably upgrade eventually but you cant go wrong for 240

Mark Cummings - 7 years ago

I've been watching most all of your videos and they are great. I've learned a lot, not only for kayak fishing but shore fishing as well. So my question is what are the best options for fish you keep? I live in Beaumont and grew up fishing the marshes here, having a stringer of fish tied to my yak seems like a bad idea with the amount of gators here.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 7 years ago

throw a little cooler or fish bag in your yak if you are worried about carrying a stringer, and thanks for watching!

Can you do a video on that double tie up of those jigs or do you have a video

Dan Zwinger - 7 years ago

Live bait is boring to me and cheating. I baught a 300 dollar pelican trail blazer. Been working for me. I only fish lures. Actually I only use big baits. If your going to spend 500 plus dollars. You can buy a decent boat for that much. kayaks are nice. If money was no object I would buy both a kayak and boat. but just to get out on the water, fresh water at least. I recomend the pelican trail blazer angling kayak. I'm going on my second season with it. I have had some success catching bass in it. I hanvnt even got around to buying a fish finder yet. I just put the time in, read, watch videos and have confidence.

i just bought a used perception sport pescador 12 is that a good beginner kayak?

Julio Mendoza - 7 years ago

thanks im from california but live in houston know i have alot of questions lol how about a good begginer spot i want to hit the water this weekend

Texas Redfish Hunter - 7 years ago

laws kinda vague, so led's on the kayak should be fine, but reread the law and make sure, or ask a game warden

Julio Mendoza - 7 years ago

thanks bro i appreciate the comment also when you say a 360 light is manditory before and after light does it have to be mounted or can i install led lights around the kayak?

Texas Redfish Hunter - 7 years ago

I know a lot of people who start on that yak, it is pretty solid

J Reamy - 7 years ago

i just got the riot escape 12 my first big fishing kayak my first kayak was a sun dolphin Aruba 10 sit inside not built for fishing at all but it's a good stable kayak and I learned how to use it for fishing I used it to catch bass and mostly crappie in the shallow during spring spawn but I loved kayak fishing so much I upgraded my gear slowly and now with a big fishing kayak I can take and use my gear much better the point I guess I'm trying to make is you don't need to go big staring out I did it very small and made it work I had a blast with my little yak and grew into my big one and by starting small I am able to appreciate and enjoy my big kayak more you don't need a ton of big expensive gear or a huge expensive kayak to have fun you just need to get out there on the water and fish put fish in the boat and you will have fun no matter what size boat your in the allure of kayak fishing for me was I could go places big boats could not and that I did not need all that gear or to spend a ton of money just go where the fish were and the people were not and that made kayak fishing fun for me to pull the big bass and crappie and take the back to the ramp where the guys with the big expensive bass boats were unloading megar catches and showing off their big money boats here comes me in a 200$ kayak with fish that all of them could only shake their heads and wish they had I still love it puts a smile on my face every time

The Crab and The Bull - 7 years ago

I kayak but I'm not familiar with fishing. I want to start fishing

Kevin Young - 6 years ago

I’d fish first then merge the two

Texas Redfish Hunter - 7 years ago

you should!

Adam Mitchell - 7 years ago

Who do I know what ore to use there is so many different kinds?

Texas Redfish Hunter - 7 years ago

Depends on your size, really the difference between them is length and weight. I like 240cm length personally. The lighter they are the more expensive, but the easier to paddle

Tyler Burns - 7 years ago

my first kayak I bought was a 2015 Hobie Pro Angler 14 and love it and I Have been saving for a year and a half and bought it and I'm only 13 yrs old!!

AndrewCastaneda 14 - 7 years ago

How much was that kayak you're on? What's the weight capacity on it?

AndrewCastaneda 14 - 7 years ago

I'm looking into buying one, but at south padre island the water is rarely calm. So I'm deciding between a John boat and a kayak.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 7 years ago

$800, 350lbs

look at all the crap on the boat that you could never get too. You should just get a small bass boat with trolling motor at least you could stand and get to all you stuff, this is just stupid.

AleaderWaterShoes - 8 years ago

Nice work man. keep the videos coming

Retz - 8 years ago

I thought 15 second intros were too long, but yours is a 1:15! Jesus dude, make your intro shorter!

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

Well i think fishing is a bit different then other industries. Early on I wanted to give new viewers an overview of my channel in every video. Once I built up a bit i cut it down, cause after awhile it got annoying even to me lol

Retz - 8 years ago

+Texas Redfish Hunter You're right I don't, but still, you had a 1:15 long intro at one point, that's bad enough.

Not hating, I'm sure your videos are good, was just pointing out that your intro was waaaay too long, I've had people complain about how long my intro is and it's not even 15 seconds long...

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

yeah well, you clearly don't watch my channel because this is quite an old video

Jason - 8 years ago

okay so I've kayaked before but never fished from one. Ive always loved fishing and I'm going to be getting a kayak for fishing. to be safe i was thinking about going with the most happy medium between tracking speed and stability by getting a 12ft length 30in beam width. Think this is the smart move? its also right in my price range at about 650 total.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

sounds like you got a good plan

Captain_Jack15 - 8 years ago

Where did u get that redfish kayak paddle

Jeremiah Giles - 8 years ago

sweet video! where'd you get the bucket on your kayak?

Jeremiah Giles - 8 years ago

+Texas Redfish Hunter oh okay. Just asked because it seems right for keeping live bait in

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

don't remember, its just a bucket lol maybe academy?

NWforager - 8 years ago

pedal kayaks ?

Wayn Jul - 8 years ago

Very informative video. I recommend getting one that is at least 12' unless you just run the rivers. The 10' seem to veer off to one side when you stop paddling. Also before you load up your kayak with tackle take it to a shallow area and lean over till you tip over
so you will know your balance point.

RealRuler2112 - 8 years ago

Do kayaks work for bigger guys? I'm 6'7" and 240 pounds - most of the kayaks I've seen either look similar to my boat (and as easy to maneuver) or like a toy (like I'd break it sitting down). I'm very interested in getting into kayak fishing as it'd allow me to access more water & get away from the crowds, but am hesitant because of my size.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

You can absolutely find a kayak that fits your size. My recommendation is to go to a local kayak shops demo day and test out a bunch of different yaks before you purchase to find the one that is most comfortable for you. A few off the top of my head would be the Hobie Pro Anglers or Outback and the Wilderness Systems ATAK 140

Dorito Man47 - 8 years ago

Joseph Mckeown - 8 years ago

this was more of a "do you like to fish?",nothing on safety,paddling,set-up,rigging,etc etc,as someone who just got a slayer propel,and getting out of a 20' center conceal boat with a Yamaha 120 ..this did nothing for me,but thanks for taking the time to put on youtube,happy fishing

Matthew Herzog - 8 years ago

Hobie kayaks are mega heavy. Not easy to get on and off you roof rack.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

true, they are heavy. BUT they are really amazing yaks and fishing from them is a breeze. I use them quite a bit and really believe there isn't a much better fishing platform out there

John's Fish Tales - 8 years ago

I just found your channel and subbed. I started a kayak fishing channel a few months ago after getting a Jackson Cuda. I'm interested in what kind of challenges you've run into with trying to film and get good audio? Any tips you have would be appreciated. Tight lines.

John's Fish Tales - 8 years ago

I've been using my GoPro's for just the video and recording to the voice memo app on my Iphone. I then have to sync the two in my editing software which can be somewhat laborious. I tried a Rode Lav Mic with my Iphone and found it wasn't compatible with Iphone 6. Appreciate the reply.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

Audio has been my biggest struggle. If you use GoPro's like me the audio from the camera itself is not great. I've added wind protectors to the skeleton case for the Hero 3's. The Hero 4 Session gets decent audio but when its very windy its pretty much useless

Countrybo1511 - 8 years ago

New subscriber here. I am wanting to start getting into kayak fishing. I am 6'4''' and weight around 350. I do live in Alabama and I think they would be cheaper here but im not sure. I will need something stable due to balance. My sister in law has a regular kayak and she wants me to start going with her down rivers. i would like a fishing yak that I could use to float down the river as well. It would be mainly used in a lake and river. What do you recommend

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

Honestly wouldn't really know. You could try out the FS128T at bass pro. It's $800 and stable, but I don't know how it would be on rivers. Try to find a kayak demo day in your area and test out kayaks so you can find a good one for you before you buy

Countrybo1511 - 8 years ago

what would be something around the $700 range

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

I'd recommend a Wilderness Systems ATAK 140 as its super stable and should be able to deal with floating rivers. It is expensive at $1800, but its probably going to make you the most comfortable.

MyMackinGoHard - 8 years ago

my first yak was a 200$ sun dolphin. Used live bait first day, was using my gear by day 3. Caught just as many on my table as I did live bait. just gotta get used to it, I wasn't spending 500+ on one my first time.. the one I got had attachments available sold separately, so you could build up as u like. very inexpensive too, can save more if you're creative and do some diy parts on them. my whole family actually joined in on the yak fishing craze, all 10' pelican trailblazers and Aruba sun dolphins. nobody can complain.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

Yeah I'll hopefully be in a Hobie by next year....hopefully. haha thanks for watching

MyMackinGoHard - 8 years ago

+Texas Redfish Hunter lol yeah it took me about 4 or 5 hours before I really got the hang of it. they are a little sketchy I must say, I'd love to get in a upper tier one line a Hobie one day. this is a good video I like seeing other ppls tips and modifications, it gives others ideas on where to start and what they might need.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

its all about the user, my first yak was a 10' pelican and I couldn't keep the thing upright to save my life. I just don't have good balance I guess lol

Rodney Hamilton - 8 years ago

True that on the minimum price. I have a $300 kayak. It works, but I wish I had gone higher. It is a bit tippy and does not track all that well. However, for those of us unwilling to dish out $500 - $600 before sales tax and paddle, there are way to improve cheapy boats by adding DIY skegs and stabilizers. Youtube is full of those.

Joe Galvan - 8 years ago

i just bought a 10-foot lifetime kayak from big 5 for $300 and I've had no issues. Took it out on the open ocean and did some fishing with no problem. It depends on the person really. I've also made many upgrades purchasing things from home depot like a baitwell and anchor trolley system. You can spend the money and buy the big name prices for things or just make them yourself. As for the kayak...like I said, it depends on the person. If I had the money to buy an expensive Hobie maybe I would, or just buy a boat instead.Point is, a person can make due on a small budget if he wants.

Are pelican kayaks any good?

Rodney Hamilton - 8 years ago

Pelican has very cheap ($200) upwards of $3000 I believe. You have a lot of choices there. Zoffinger has a Pelican.

Thystaff Thywill - 8 years ago

+Mhamza98 Ocean Kayak is a brand to look into. I also heard about people using the Catch 120 in salt water but you have to wash off the hull with fresh water afterwards.

Mhamza98 - 8 years ago

+Texas Redfish Hunter how about for saltwater fishing? any recommendations?

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Mhamza98 The catch 120 looks solid, but I wouldn't recommend the really cheap ones, you might flip and have a bad experience.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Landon Becnel Gear and Accessories video yes

Geremy Harris - 8 years ago

Bs sundolfin from Walmart 220$ will perform just the same as a 1000$ kayak

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Geremy Harris this is just my opinion. I had bad experiences kayaking on cheap kayaks, lost a lot of gear. These are just my recommendations. It also depends on what style of fishing you want to do. My $800 kayak was much better than my $200 kayak, from my own personal experience

Brendan Wilbur - 8 years ago

Another Great Video! What is the best way to anchor a kayak in shallower water. Does a pushpole help.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Brendan Wilbur I really like using a stake out stick to anchor in shallow water, and yes a pushpole helps if you have a stand up kayak that's very stable

FaZe Rocks - 8 years ago

would you recommend the ascend d10t for lake and maybe occasional bay

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+FaZe Rocks I've never used it, but being only 10ft is kinda a disadvantage, but its probably stable enough to work fairly well.

CopperD8 - 8 years ago

I am looking at the field stream 12ft and a striker 11.5ft. Both are around the same price. I am torn on which one to buy. What do you think?

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+CopperD8 never used either of them and don't know much about them honestly, so I'm probably not the best to ask. I really like the Ascend 12T lol

Gary Lott - 8 years ago

What about the pelican catch 120

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Gary Lott I've been recommending that to people lately. I've never used it or actually seen it in person, but other youtubers have been doing videos on them and they look like they deserve some consideration for sure

bze06FishinBwai - 8 years ago

Dylan McDermott - 8 years ago

I went canoe fishing in Minnesota for a week. I really want to buy a kayak so I can bring it out in the water here at home in Iowa. What's some good, cheap kayaks? I'm 16 and I have $600 right now so I want cheap but good. Obviously I know ill probably have to spend more than that. Thanks for the video! I subscribed!

Dylan McDermott - 8 years ago

+Texas Redfish Hunter thanks! I'll check it out.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Dylan McDermott Check out the Ascend FS12T at Bass Pro shops. Its priced right at $600. If you are fishing calm flat waters I think this is one of the better kayaks out there for the price. Also could look for used kayaks, some solid ones sometimes go on sale in your price range.

Johnny Gonzales - 8 years ago

Great Video! What are your thoughts on installing a trolling motor onto your kayak? I know you typically fish marsh areas and shallow water for reds and I do myself but I recently stumbled upon a few yakers using hands free trolling motors. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Johnny Gonzales I think its up to each individual kayaker. Sometimes paddling gets tough, so having a trolling motor would be awesome, but you also can't use them in tournaments. They do allow for longer trips though, opening up a huge amount of water that would be difficult to paddle to.

Quentyn73 - 8 years ago

I don't like your advice for the following reasons: ABC, PVC and vying.pfu and other plastics get old and brittle over time. Kayak is a kayak, 200 or 2000 it doesn't really matter if you're sitting and fishing. Actually, more expensive ones are less stable relying on users experience and built for speed, tracking or other purpose. Wasting 1/4 of the price of a new kayak on renting is just stupid especially when you don't know what type of kayak are renting. Maybe this is good advice for some but doesn't work out for me.

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Quentyn73 very true! lol you too man

Quentyn73 - 8 years ago

+Texas Redfish Hunter
Well, we don't have to necessarily agree in order to enjoy kayaking. Have a good one bud!

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Quentyn73 The purpose of renting is to see if you even like kayaking before you go out and buy a kayak, thus saving you from wasting a ton of money buying a kayak. You're wrong that more expensive ones are less stable. More expensive ones (like some Hobie Pro Anglers) are way more stable than anything else on the market. You can buy expensive kayaks built for stability or you can buy expensive kayaks for speed, but most fisherman choose stability. Difference of opinion I guess, cause I actually disagree with everything you've said here.

Larry Cooney - 8 years ago

This is a very good video for beginners. I'd like to see a part 2. (or am I just not finding it?) I bought my first kayak 3 or 4 months ago. I live a block from a park in Winter Haven (home of the new Lego Land) with 15 lakes all linked together. (Gators and all!) I really like my Striker 11.5 but I do wish I could've tried it out first. It's a little hard to paddle for a 58 y/o! I can hardly wait to be able to fish standing up. Just wondering... where does "wear a PFD AT ALL TIMES" fall on your list?

Larry Cooney - 8 years ago

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Larry Cooney more videos like this to come! I always wear my pfd if I'm in water deeper than 5ft, but most of my fishing is in 4 inches to 3 feet of water. Always have it on the yak though

Hi i would like to know if you recommend me this kayak to go outshore and inshore because im doing an research and i dont see nobody doing outshore fishing with this kayak thank you

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Yanela Brito I only recommend inshore, can be taken offshore but only on calm days

adanvjr - 8 years ago

Great advice.
I agree 100% about researching fishing spots first and renting a kayak for a weekend to see if kayak fishing is right for you. I've seen too many people max out credit cards on kayaks and gear, only to turn around and put it up on Craigslist 6 months later. TroutSupport makes great instructional DVDs for reds & specks.

The only thing I believe you omitted was what I think should be the most important rule: WEAR YOUR PFD

Good video, great answers. Now that the Kayak choice is clear, what to recommend as far as gear when starting out?

Texas Redfish Hunter - 8 years ago

+Ed Bickford definitely want to get a milk crate to hold all your gear in your kayak in an accessible location. Obviously life jacket and whistle too. 3-5lb anchor with a float so you can quick release if you hook a fish. Geeze there's a lot of recommended gear. Haha. Looks like I'll be putting together a new video on this. Great question.

What's a good kayak between the prince range of $250-300?

You could pick up a cheap decent kayak that is not setup for fishing and then pimp it out for cheaper than buying one already rigged. I have a Sun Dolphin. They are cheap.

+Tony Fernandez I'd go for something used at that range. Might be able to pick up an Ascend FS12T for $300

Now that you have had the new 2016 asked kayak for a little while how do you feel about it? I have thinking about getting one and the new improvements that they have made on this kayak seems great. Just want to wait until other people out it through to the test.

+Southern Extreme T.V. I really like it. No more water problem

Great video with solid information. I think I agree with just about everything you say. This video is a good resource for someone who wants to start kayak fishing or someone who has started but is still figuring out their preferences. Hooking up while giving advice... awesome! I definitely agree about starting with live bait, how much to spend on a kayak and doing research. Tight lines man!

+Kayak Chris Thanks man, tight lines
