David L - 8 years ago

Fell out the other day reaching back for something behind me, so apparently I'm not the only one making that mistake. Thank you for the tips!

We have way too many sharks out here in SD/la jolla area. I am not putting my feet out of the kayak.

Ny Jeep Adventurer - 7 years ago

Still have your toes??

leolion1993 - 7 years ago

DarkSagan im going to be going out that way soon enough for my first time Kayak fishing.....and was worried about sharks.

cashflow2day - 8 years ago

Awesome, wish I would of watched this before I went out today.

Ivette Cortez - 8 years ago

thanx man REALLY helpful

Daniel Parker - 9 years ago

Very important Tips. That helps me a lot about deciding about making/buying a kayak. Thank you.

Ross ALLINSON - 9 years ago

Jim: all of your good advice negated by the fact that you fish in the ocean, with your feet dangling over the side. Ever heard of sharks !! ( you goose !)

Dale Dow - 9 years ago

I must be fishing by the silver rules instead.

The best tip would be to use a real kayak and not a sit on top. A real kayak is much faster, much safer and much more comfortable because you do not get wet.

Axel Ex04 - 10 years ago

Great tips, Thanks

WanderleiSilva29 - 10 years ago

at 2:03... you want to sniff the bottom of that guys feet don't you? Youre a homo....

cappiello31 - 10 years ago

always afraid to sit side saddle i don't trust water that i cant see 2ft down

Dylan McDermott - 8 years ago

I was up in Minnesota and I decided to step off the canoe in 1ft deep water and fell in up to my waist!

Frazer Wolf - 10 years ago

nice tips helped a lot. i fell in when i was reaching for a rod behind me

Larry Glatt - 10 years ago

Have your paddle on a tie down/up setup so if you roll you won't lose your paddle;
also a side clip to place your paddle when you are fishing so it's out of the way.

Alec Hansen - 10 years ago

Actually no don't use more line and put the rod up straight if u have a fish on a graphite rod tip will snap

Wyatt Berry - 11 years ago

but then I'll get a tan line of my sock monster. I think I'll just go out further and loose the sock.

irfan mansur - 11 years ago

I am going to be fishing the Gulf of Mexico this summer. Thanks for the tips, keep em coming!

jo3tag - 12 years ago

I don't appreciate you guys fishing for kayaks. As a whitewater paddler, it's hard enough to negotiate streams without some guy trying to hook you! Give us a break, we're just out trying to have some fun too.

DENMONKEY - 12 years ago

@flspearo this is not an issue for those with the right length equipment to do so sitting :)

@KayakingCalifornia My hat is made by Ocean Designs. JS

Janice Green - 12 years ago

Where did you get yout hat Jim? #5) RULE: Use knee straps instead of hanging your feet overboard or else a shark might bite a leg off...

Eduardohv - 13 years ago

So far this guy is the Master Yoda of kayak fishing :-)

Hunter Mann - 13 years ago

Rule #5: Get an arts grant that will cover your kayak, gear, food and b.e.e.r. costs for the next 2 years. Work? Heck no! It interferes with my fishing!

Juan Carlos Reyna - 13 years ago

I RECOMEND FOR ALL OF YOU BUY WALLAROOHAT COMPANY, THIS HATS ARE UPF50 THEY GREAT MODELS FOR MEN AND WOMEN

rusty keller - 13 years ago

I have a recommendation for your hat. Paint the bottom black. Sun rays hit your face directly and burn it. They also bounce off the water and burn your face. They also bounce off the water, then off the bottom brim of the hat and burn your face. Spray paint the underside of the brim with flat black paint, and it will absorbe some of the suns energy which is a hazard to the person wearing the hat. Reduces a little bit of the sunburn. But, still, use sunscreen to help protect yourself.

erik shin - 13 years ago

@StuffyG hahahahahahahaha im going with the last option =]

erik shin - 13 years ago

@flspearo i did that and pissed all on my leg

great info thanks.

ColdDead Hands - 14 years ago

Thanks!

C Carter - 14 years ago

Great tips- thank you as always. I always look forward to your weekly video clips. A good Fishing Kayak ranges anywhere from $800 and up. I have a 2010 WS Tarpon 140, and love it. Shop around, you'll likely find a good deal online if you do your homework.

letmypeoplegosurfing - 14 years ago

Nice- those are great tips Jim! Thank you

thefinnishminnow - 14 years ago

I like kayak fishing, but i am too cheep to get a fishing kayak, which makes it tiring and stressful to fish in due to the inability to have rod and gear storage. I'd love to get one of these kayaks, how much would i expect to pay do you think for one of those guys? Also, in California do you guys need to register your kayaks?
