where can I get a box like this?

Nomad - 6 years ago

I got a million things on my kayak but never really thought about the 'first aid kit' . Good idea !

Bantham Nobilis - 6 years ago

Dood, just BUY a real boat!! I have a Sea Ghost 130 and I would NEVER put that much crap on it, so is your's diesel powered? If not it should be, paddling that thing would wear our a bear!

Do the stickers make the kayak go faster ?

zoffinger - 8 years ago

I doubt it'll make the kayak faster. Though, they say confidence is a key ingredient to catching fish, so if some stickers make you feel good about your yak, you might find yourself catching more fish.

I know you've used some type of foam to seal where you used screws and bolts you keep everything watertight. I've used elastimeric for large holes for flushmount rod holders without much luck. any ideas?

Jim Marcum - 8 years ago

if anyone has personal experience, is a Kayak better than a 17 foot Canoe?????

Dylan McDermott - 8 years ago

Idk about your state, but you don't have to register a kayak under 13 feet in Iowa so it's less of a hassle here.

sailawaybob - 8 years ago

+Jim Marcum i have both a canoe and kayak, my kayak is a sit in so can't say if sit on is better for fishing. i use my canoe for fishing and the kayak for exploring but it would be great to have one that does both. Dick's sporting goods has a canoe /kayak called a Emotion Wasatch that looks versatile.

Pete Sessa - 9 years ago

I'm an stunned. Everything is very well thought out and ergonomically placed. The economic factoring has been well-incorporated into the whole scenario. I'm not sure about the fish you catch but between the labor and materials to get them in the boat and back home, they must be in excess of $100 bucks a pound. But it sure looks like you are having a great time and I think, that's all that really matters. Good luck fishing!

Scott Clawson - 9 years ago

Hey marty i just got my first kayak ever and i have no experience kayaking. I was wondering if you had any tips for a first timer, since you are the guy that inspired me to take my fishing on a yak in the first place.

zoffinger - 9 years ago

+Scott Clawson First be mindful of the wind and tide predictions. Especially, wind. Anything over 10mph makes for a rough kayaking experience. The rest, you can work on over time. And that's the second part; Time. Spend as much as you can on the water and you WILL get better. Be safe. And tight lines.

Adventure Time GA - 9 years ago

I started with a stringer on the side of the yak, but quickly switched to a cooler after being attacked by a large Bull Shark after my three sea trout. It's not if a shark will attack your catch of you dangle it off the side, but when. You've been warned... Otherwise, Great Video and setup!!! :)

Ken Ketchfiche - 9 years ago

Mate, love your vids. Can you show us how you do the stringer on the side. I hate taking a cooler (we say eski) and want to do this, but I'm not sure how it works, other than just poking a string through gills/mouth and hanging the fish over the side into the water. Is this a problem re parasites or bacteria or anything? We have surprisingly similar climate and fish in Brisbane, Australia as you do.

Ken Ketchfiche - 9 years ago

Oh, you keep them alive. That would take care of the germ issue. Sharks (bulls mostly) are an issue here too and I reckon they'd be quick to take advantage of the free meal. But I will try it next time I want to keep some fish from the fresh, where sharks aren't so common.

zoffinger - 9 years ago

I also feel nowadays that a cooler on a yak is too much trouble. I have started poking the string through the skin under the fishes 'chin' then out the mouth. They stay a lot healthier that way instead of damaging the tender tissues around the gills. And if I catch a better fish or one that has swallowed a hook and will probably die, I can then release the first fish on the stringer, no harm. As far as bacteria, I don't think there'd be any problems that didn't exist before the fish was caught in the first place. They just swim along like a good dog on a leash. The main problem is when mr shark finds out you got a potential meal tied to your raft!

Hey how does it feel ? You inspired me to buy a Kayak just now for $214 I'm going to rig it like you did the Poor Man way.lol I don't have a lot of money and most kayaks run around $400 and most people show off those things but are always to expensive for me to get involved with, but man you just showed me a new world THANKS and how can I get or make a pair of those stabilizers you have on the back??

J0Gu7 - 10 years ago

Hello Marty, just want you to know, it's great fisherman like you and Kris Flores from muddyrivers catfishing that have inspired me to get back to fishing and doing my own show. Thanks man. I can sit and watch you fish all day! Thanks for posting.

Rebel1280 - 10 years ago

Hi zoffinger, love the videos and ideas! Just bought a couple of yaks for my brother and I and was about to setup the anchor trolly like you have it in this video but at some point (cant find video if you addressed it, if so sorry) you installed a pulley system and now im hesitating to set it up as you have it set on this vid. Is there a reason why you ended up installing a pulley system?

hunter101 Chevy trucks - 7 years ago

zoffinger

zoffinger - 10 years ago

I still use the big bulky rope for my anchor line, but I eliminated the need for pulleys by replacing the trolley rope with paracord. That thin, slippery rope passes through the pad eyes at the front and back with ease.

I'll be honest. When I first saw your original rigging video I thought it was ghetto as hell. But then I parked my high horse and really started to see the genius in your mods. Have to say..... I am a fan of your videos now. It doesn't have to be expensive to work.

Brian Ebersold - 10 years ago

Had to share this story with you and your followers. I had the my 3 kayaks loaded on the top of the van and the family and I headed for our little camping spot along the lake for some fishing and relaxing. Along the way my straps came a little loose and I needed to pull over quickly to keep everything together. As i was pulling over i noticed an object in the pull over lane so i stopped just behind it and tightened my load. As i headed around the van i took a look at the object in the road...it was an adjustable rod holder!!! LOL! I had been waiting to get one for a little while and right there in front of my van sat one. Immediately I thought of Poor Man's Fishing Kayak. It will be installed soon! Tight Lines my friend!

C moore - 10 years ago

I need to spend some serious money on my boat so I bought a sea eagle fp285 inflatable. Believe it or not, it is a pain inflating it and deflating, plus it is extremely small. It seems like everyone of the videos I see are either "don't buy a cheap one" or look at all I did to mine. I wish some of you would do a video that is more along the line of: I live paycheck to paycheck, am dog tired when I get home and don't want this to turn into a show boat or a major project". I doubt any of these are safe. They must be about as tippy as a canoe. I live in the midwest where there are lots of res but even in the coves there is always some wind along with the jerk with the jet ski and the guy that wants to run 80 and then stop his boat as soon as he gets to the no wake area. I want to see someone in the conditions I described to see what actually happens. Like I learned a long time ago, you and will never see television lakes that the big guys use because they are private. Notice that you never hear another boat? Come on, someone make a video about a kayak without a bunch of things added and in real world conditions to educate me. I am willing to bet that there are other curious fisherman like myself that would like real information. I mean like, "what happens when you are minding your business and some jerk blows through on a jet ski. Are you swamped? I know you are proud of what you have done, but I wish there were more like, look what I haven't done and it still works.

On Day Five Fishing - 10 years ago

Thanks. What are your Kayak fishing safety tips for newbies?

NJ Eddie - 7 years ago

On Day Five Fishing - Safety tips:
Assume you will dump your 'yak at some point, because you will.
Don't bring a PFD... instead, WEAR it.
If you don't have a drybox, put your wallet, keys, & cellphone each into a Ziploc bag. Then put them all into a gallon-size heavy-duty storage ziplock. Blow a little air into it before closing.
If the water is cold, do NOT wear cotton... yes, this means no blue jeans! WET cotton = hypothermia, if it is cold out. Wear fleece pants, they can be inexpensive.

zoffinger - 10 years ago

Invest in a drybox. Keep your wallet, keys, phone, etc. in there. Everything outside that box WILL get wet. And keep it tethered to the kayak. And at some point, you should try flipping the yak in water where you can't stand (without the drybox, gear and with a buddy) so you know if it happens later on, you'll be ok and can get back on. Be extra careful if it's a sit-inside style kayak. They can sink if they flip. And always check the weather. Especially the wind forecast. Anything over ten mph is going to be no fun at all.

Ron Beatty - 10 years ago

Keep up the good work mate!

Thank you so much for sharing these videos! Me and my husband love watching them. We've been fishing every chance we get since moving here to Sarasota from Cali (I'm sure most of our facebook friends are tired of looking at our constant posting of fish pics), and were inspired to buy our first kayak and outfit it ourselves for fishing. We're very proud of her and so glad we didn't need to spend so much money on one of those fancy fishing kayaks. We took it out yesterday for the first time. I hooked a nice 25 inch red off of lido. Wish I could post a pic of our kayak here. I've got photos of it here on my blog.

Awesome video mate. Thanks heaps. helped me a lot!

Jeff Edwards - 10 years ago

Thanks for the video.
I would put a float on those Lipgrippers. My old ones are on the bottom somewhere since they couldn't swim. Now I use a small float like the one on your anchor line to keep from drowning another pair.

Deanxm1 - 10 years ago

Looking good Marty, are there any plans to move on to a bigger yak at anypoint or are you going to stick with yours untill it dies?
Been watching your channel since you first put up the 'poor man's kayak' video so this year i have bought an action cam and have started a youtube channel, ive been inspired mate lol

Tell me wher you got a 5 dollar airrator I am a kid and can't pay 40 bucks to get one

zoffinger - 10 years ago

Walmart has these 'Tsunami air pumps' in the fishing section for $5. I just checked Ebay and found them there for slightly more.

Hey Marty, i don't know if you ever heard of reddit but check this out http://www.reddit.com/domain/yakangler.com, maybe you can post some of your video links on here. Also take a look at the homepage of reddit too.

Wesley Hackney - 10 years ago

Nice idea. I'm going to find omr like that at Walmart and add to back of my WS Rude 115. Got time on my hands right nie to customize the yak a little . Tells here in VA are brutal . Thanks again for sharing .

DRAGON76 - 10 years ago

Great Video as always Marty! I can't wait for the good weather to come back to New England where i'm from. thanks again for the "fix"

Caleb Dowling - 10 years ago

Always a pleasure to watch Marty, your ideas come in handy when I'm looking to upgrade my own yak. Keep the videos coming!

Mike - 10 years ago

I wanted to let you know...you inspired me to build my own! Watched all of your mod vids...and thank for putting those together for us. I currently live near Lake Fork, TX and the large mouth fishing season will be underway shortly. Waiting on my Emotion Spitfire now (under $250 with shipping). Any suggestions before I begin drilling holes?? BTW...my toolbox came in already!

Greg Hodge - 10 years ago

My wife didn't want to go to the HWY 41 landing because of the garbage. I showed her how you were picking it up so I got her to go. When we got done we followed your example. Thanks again for the videos. I hope you got some footage of the big snook.

enjoy watching your vid's here in Ohio its not the best of weather up to 10inches of snow with 0 and below temps nice to sit back and watch you fish and show off your kayak thinking of buying one myself and fish the great lakes and the rivers leading to them this spring but i have to save up.. moneys tight as we all know.. great vid thanks

KAYAK FRANK - 10 years ago

Marty's 2014 Pimped Out kayak rocks out! Poor man's kayak my arse. Your kayak has nothing to envy on those gas guzzling bay boats sir. Watch out fish...he's coming to get ya. Later brother.

Robb's Homemade Life - 10 years ago

hey Marty, my favorite addition of yours is the outrigger. good use of magnets too. I like the neodymium magnets from computers you can get cheap on ebay, they are very strong.
it would be cool if you could rig a small sail for off the wind sailing as an assist to paddling.

Al Barrilleaux - 10 years ago

I had to Google hei matau. Very interesting . Your knowledge of fishing is always educational. Learned something new today that I won't forget. Thanks

Your comment about rescuing a tool box from a dumpster made me smile. I have rescued the same way over the years. I noticed a "tackle box" cost way more than a tool box a long time ago. I've been using a lunch cooler (soft nylon type) for my tackle bag for about 2 years now. It works great and it keeps everything in it dry too.
Tight lines and many happy days on the water this year.

zoffinger - 10 years ago

YTour comment made me smile :)

fishwithandy - 10 years ago

Great vids really enjoy them, with the outriggers on your yak it reminded me of Capt Kirks starship, The Snook Ship Enterprise , the enterprise bit being very appropriate

To Boldly Fish Where No Boat Has Gone Before...

More To Living - 10 years ago

Great stuff ! Now your kayak needs a sail and a solar panel and portable generator hahaha ! One good thing about walmart is that they always sell the same thing. You can come back 20 years later to buy a replacement part or the same exact item. I bought a 55 gallon cooler from walmart which acts as a ice cooler/aquarium fish residence during tank moves/place for my snuba setup/place to store my scuba stuff/general storage. These coolers are awesome. It is like someone designed them thinking exactly like people who would use it... which is a rare thing these days.

Buckrun11 - 10 years ago

You really have that baby fixed up nice. I have a couple set in Kayaks I rigged up more for the rivers in OH. I want to try squirrel hunting from them next year.

Garbage Man - 10 years ago

can you make a video on how you made the stabilizers

zoffinger - 10 years ago

I know folks duck hunt from them...Watch out squirrels! :)

spinesales - 10 years ago

Always fun to watch the evolution of your yak. Nice new box!

lewisfla06m - 10 years ago

Love it - creative, thoughtful, organized. Cool. I've been thinking about buying this desiccant stuff (Silica Gel Canister).. little metal box with a tab that changes color. As the box of desiccant has absorbed max humidity, the tab changes color - then you toss in oven for a while to dry it out and use it again. I'm thinking of using this in my tackle box to make sure my lures/hooks/etc stay dry. Mike

zoffinger - 10 years ago

I actually keep two of those silica packs in my drybox that I salvaged from shoeboxes. Though I often wonder if a plain ole paper towel would be better. They absorbe excess moisture and I don't need to worry about the dogs eating them. Paper towels are good for cleaning my camera lens too :)

lewisfla06m - 10 years ago

also... posted an idea to your youtube discussion section asking about recipes/cooking/etc

Nick F. - 10 years ago

wish i could buy a kayak! i do pretty good fishing from shore though and i am saving up. tight lines!

Bryan Tena - 10 years ago

my wife bought mine for 300 off craigslist dont have to be fancy as the video suggest :)

DRAGON76 - 10 years ago

I just finished my rookie season as a Yak owner and fisherman, it is a great time when you can be out on the water pulling in a nice catch! You won't regret it!! I is certainly worth saving for!

Nick F. - 10 years ago

yeah i borrow my friends kayak occasionally and it is a totally different experience!

zoffinger - 10 years ago

They're an awful lot of fun. Good luck, Nicholas
