Okay, the skeg is nice and I enjoyed the music, but what I really care more about is how to put the skeg on a kayak.

Nicholas Goubert - 7 years ago

Mason Grissett - 9 years ago

Arthur Moshier - 8 years ago

to rotate your kayak easily while your fishing instead of setting your pole down and grabbing your full paddle .. works great comes in handy

That could be a Conoe paddle

Author No1 - 9 years ago

I would rather use hand tools. Am looking for a wood paddle for the blade (skeg). Enjoyed this damned video too much. Got nothing done.

Damn!

A hint for you when painting the fish. Start at the point furthest away from the hand which will be painting. In the case of right handed people, its the left side (top to bottom), working back towards the right. This way, your hand should never get anywhere near any of your fresh paint.
In the case of left handers, start at the right top part of the picture and work your way left,, painting top to bottom as you go.
Great video as always thanks Marty :)

Sorry I don't know whether you already made one: to show how to make the mounting system work would be helpful.

Nicholas Goubert - 7 years ago

Frank J hi there did u ever get a chance to see if he made a video on this step by step instructions

Splendid. Made one too, but with a different fitting method. Wow, really transforms the kayak. Thanks for the inspiration :-)

muito legal, mas poderia fazer menos furos.

John Doe - 10 years ago

Been trying to put a redfish on the top of my cooler. Do i need to use the special transfer paper, or just a reg piece of computer paper?

What size are those skeg?

Nick Dukes - 11 years ago

Awesome, I have the emotion spitfire 9 and only bought it after finding your videos. Most of my rigging is based off your design, now to complete the skeg and put a fish finder on and Ill be just about done. Thank you for the inspiration.

zoffinger - 11 years ago

I just found a flat spot to mount them and built the rest up from there. Though the side of the yak wasn't perfectly flat, after all the screws were in, the assembly was rock solid.

Nicholas Goubert - 7 years ago

zoffinger can u please tell me how u made this on the back of your boat Marty I got a pelican boost100 an would like to put your idear on mine

Nick Dukes - 11 years ago

Did you modify the galvanized floor flanges in any way to make them fit flush to the kayak?

zoffinger - 11 years ago

Probably my favorite piece of music!

john darmiento - 11 years ago

that is the magpie isn't it?

CHIPfilmsTV - 11 years ago

The snook was the best one

impact lures - 11 years ago

Great work and awesome ingenuity! love the snook.

redfish1286 - 11 years ago

Marty... You truly are an artist. I have a question on what you used on the skeg, if anything, to keep your artwork from wearing off. Also, If you would, could you show us how you etched your artwork on to the KonTiki and your cooler? Some of us "non-artists" surely would like to take notes. Thanks for keeping us inspired Marty and keep the videos coming! :0)

Excellent way to make a Skeg. Now can you show us how to install it on the Yak? especially the 2 plugs that mount on each side of the Yak, where do you get them and what are they called? Thanks! Good Fishing! The StarHunter

osifuentes1 - 12 years ago

Yes the Red Fish Is my favorite Fish to Catch too. AND I enjoy eating it Most of all! Ahhhhh nothing like Fresh RED FISH! Tha StarHunter

osifuentes1 - 12 years ago

That is the Skeg instructions I was asking about! I am going to make one! Watching the First Red . Some of the buildings looked like they were from the KSC. So Tampa? Have you ever fished close or near KSC?

redfish1286 - 12 years ago

Very nice skeg! For a starting point for us, could you post the dimensions that you used?
