This video shows you in detail how to rig a kayak for fishing. Kayak fishing is definitely on the increase, so Graeme and Mike travel down to Bristol to check out a fisherman who really has gone the full way, and "pimped his yak!". Ian Harris has a good number of different species from his kayak, and is pleased to pass on his tips about how he fitted his out. Kayaks can be used in freshwater or sea fishing and you can rig them out with all the latest Lowrance fish-finding equipment, handheld radios, cameras and everything but the kitchen sink! of course all you need to catch a fish is a rod and reel, but half the fun of kayak fishing is knowing you carry everything that a larger fishing boat might have. They are fun, they are...TOTALLY AWESOME! ► Download our Free Digital Fishing Magazine: http://www.awesomeangler.co.uk! ► Check out the Salt Life YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/saltlife ► Become a Patron for monthly Q&A and Behind the Scenes: https://www.patreon.com/totallyawesomefishing?ty=h ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ FILMING GEAR WE USE ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Main Camera - Sony Secondary Camera - http://amzn.to/2bXaO1Y GoPro Chest Mount - http://amzn.to/2cjvTBL GoPro Head Mount - http://amzn.to/2bXdwo4 Lightweight Tripod - http://amzn.to/2cgWSiJ Camera SD Card - http://amzn.to/2c40W2x Camera Light - http://amzn.to/2cgZU6K Portable Battery Charger - http://amzn.to/2bXdEEn Studio Lighting - http://amzn.to/2bTgIQs Drone Camera - http://amzn.to/2bXd0GI Mike's Camera Microphone - http://amzn.to/2bThNbb Fishing Gear EPIC PEN ROD: http://amzn.to/2cEefJi Lure Bag: http://amzn.to/2cwoT2w Fishing weigh scales - http://amzn.to/2ch0RM3 Fishing Pliers - http://amzn.to/2c777mi These are Amazon associate links ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SOCIAL MEDIA ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ • Our website & DVDS → http://www.totallyawesomefishing.com • Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/totallyawesomefishing • Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/tafishingofficial/ • Twitter → https://twitter.com/tafishing • Google+ → https://plus.google.com/+TAFishing/posts • Snapchat → tafishing ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ FISHING PLAYLISTS ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SEA FISHING: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlJDPmb6OexrDnAFNBNJez8zRe4EECDZY BEACH FISHING: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlJDPmb6OexpRHtX7Wp_3lDa6hAmChIuh CARP FISHING: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlJDPmb6OexrY3ZHJk6KIAva6yZgyL9No FLY FISHING: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB995E0AF38A6353F PIKE, PERCH & ZANDER: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlJDPmb6Oexpa4bpAxjX6ptu_dgIx3PRW RIVER FISHING: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlJDPmb6OexpWpfhuuFw2kTn5I0-uV5hQ SHARKS & BIG GAME: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlJDPmb6OexqcTMfZwCGgHjGgOHIF4-xE "HOW TO" TIPS: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDAD5E2DCA500FE40 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ TAF CLOTHING & MERCH ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ UK Clothing Store → http://totallyawesomefishing.spreadshirt.co.uk/ Europe Clothing → http://totallyawesomefishing-eu.spreadshirt.net/ US Clothing Store → http://totallyawesomefishing.spreadshirt.com/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ABOUT TAFISHING ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Totally Awesome Fishing is a weekly free-to-watch fishing show brought to you by father and son Graeme & Mike Pullen.

If this is the guy, I believe he may belong to UK hobie kayak fishing team? Not sure, if so you can understand why he is promoting this product because he is getting it for nothing!!! Take a look on hobie kayak UK web site and have a look at the middle man and see what you think.

can you help please. As I can't find this on the internet. thx

Thank you so much for your time.
When you have that much technology and gadgetry installed, is it really kayaking anymore? You should have bought a bloody yacht instead man!
I'm gonna stick to taking a bucket, a pair of boardies, and a mini rod out with me. Thanks for the tips though. All the best :)

You have to watch what you're doing and not drift off into shipping lanes or into rough water, and you have to be a lot more careful to balance properly, especially if a big fish jumps on your bait! Can you imagine falling out of the kayak and being towed along by a four foot tope, wondering whether to let go of your rod or not?
I found that for me one rod was plenty, and you need everything to hand to reduce the chance of departing your kayak by surprise. He's so right about having everything on a leash, and to be prepared for all eventualities.
My advice is to practice inland first, on a fairly still, shallow lake. Take a few hours at least to get used to fishing inland before you even think about going out into the sea, even quiet harbours and the like. It really is not as easy as you'd think. Then when you do first go out try perhaps just fishing one small rod for mackerel, or maybe bream.
My recommendation is to have one entire beach fishing session stood on one leg in the same spot without moving, bending over to access bait, rods, refreshment and tackle.
Once you're very well used to your kayak, including getting back on it after falling off, then it's time to try it on a lake for a while.
Having said all that, it must be a great thrill once you're familiar with everything.
Yes, true. I grew up in the Alaskan outback. Folks have a warped perception of firepower. You would be amazed at what one well placed shot can do ... from experience, not troll internet conjecture. When it comes down to it now, though, I stalk wildlife with a camera. :) The gun is like life insurance ... better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Wildairsoft1 doesn't have a clue. :) Aside from growing up in Alaska, I served in the middle east and the Falklands in the 80's. Being an internet troll doesn't count as experience.
I live in bear and wolf country ... as for as dodgy ... unfortunately, work does take me into sordid areas a small city at night on occasion.
You must live in a proper dodgy area
As for promotional purposes he used TAfishing to promote Hobie and maybe also Lowrance, TAfishing might not be in the know or get anything out of it, but he will !!!
I also think it is worth noting that although the kayak fisherman you used in this video is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable I believe Hobie, the manufacturer of the kayak, sponsor him. It would be good if you do continue with kayak fishing videos you choose an experienced kayak fisherman who is not tied to a manufacturer.
Apart from not representing the majority of kayak fisherman as regards the type and cost of kayak, this was a good video with lots of useful information.
