Hey Mark! It’s been a while, I hope you’ve been doing well! I’m still fishing out of a Tarpon 120. It’s a great river kayak! I did add a Power Pole micro anchor to it a couple years ago, that helps give it a little more stability so I can stand up and fish on it.

You'd think the guy would learn not to leave his line in the water while his hand is not on the rod.
NDYakAngler
NDYakAngler - 5 years ago
But then I’d miss out on all that excitement! It’s tough to not leave the lure in the water while in the kayak sometimes though. I go from casting to paddling probably hundreds of times on an average trip. Unless I reel the lure all the way to the rod tip and risk damage that way the lure is going to dangle in the water sometimes while I adjust my position.

Absolutely great. Loved it. The struggle is real when kayak fishing. I know the struggle of culling 100s of hours of video and I can only imagine how much time it took to go back and get all of the shenanigans. I usually delete those clips right away to forget the shame. Your moment at 5:55 is my biggest annoyance - hooked into the yak handles and straps and in the net and it cannot be removed without beaching the yak.. ugh. Keep up the good work - your videos are an inspiration for mine.

How hard is it to paddle upstream?
NDYakAngler
NDYakAngler - 5 years ago
It all depends on the current speed. Some spots the current is barely moving and I don’t even really notice it, other spots where it gets shallow and rapid I struggle to make progress upstream or I’ll hop out and pull the kayak when it’s warm out. I’d recommend working your way upstream from the launch whenever possible, then you have an easy time getting back to where you started when it’s time to turn around.

Gotta say, I’ve never cast at, much less CAUGHT my kayak. That was impressive. Just about everything else I’ve done though. And it’s so satisfying to see that I’m not the only one who snags trees, shakes moss off the paddle, misses fish, falls in and gets scared by sudden movement of other animals. Awesome video!

Man, fishing in a kayak makes no sense to me. Too unstable, too cramped. I'd build a boat first, probably for less money. However, I spent the money for a thick-hulled inflatable, which offers excellent stability and more space. Me and my 130lb mutt enjoy our fishing adventures together. The wife joins us when we're just out joyriding.
Dwight Stewart
Dwight Stewart - 5 years ago
NDYakAngler .. I realize that. My comment isn't based just on just your video. It's based on many observations (videos, guys on the water, etc) and just plain common sense. I see no real advantages (other than cheapness) and significant disadvantages.
NDYakAngler
NDYakAngler - 5 years ago
It takes a little getting used to but fishing from a kayak has many advantages. This footage is from the span of five years and several thousand hours on the water, I’d say 95% of the time things go pretty smooth.

My only regret is that I didn’t get mine sooner! This footage is from five years of fishing and thousands on hours on the water. I think spending that much time doing anything you’ll have some mistakes. The majority of the time I’m out in the kayak things go well and I have a great time!

You really need to use the proper rod for the lure and learn how to set the hook/fight the fish properly before you end up with a treble in the eye.

I do that sort of thing all the time! It's nice to see others sharing in the struggle that makes it so much fun.

You need to upgrade the Plopper hooks, friend. I only trust the ones that come on the 130 size. Both 90 and 110 need upgrades. Going to try the 75 this year. I'm sure I'll be upgrading the hooks on that too.

Your kayak looks tippy in general. Narrow. And your sitting up high. Plus you are fishing in current which can’t be helping anything. Sure hope it’s not like this when I get to launch mine this spring.

""yep, caught a lot of trees."


I have a video on my channel showing a fish breaking my rod as he dove under my kayak. At least I am still 'special' with that. :-)

“Is there anything that didn’t get wrapped around?” LOL. The best is when you’re having a great day then you go to make a cast with a bait caster and snag a branch on the back cast without knowing and toss it and zzzzzzzz, and suddenly you have the worlds worst birds nest. Don’t ask me how I know. This is why I always carry two rods when wading.

Had me laughing from the start to the end. I was going to comment before and ask how you never seem to catch limbs and how many of my spooks you have collected over the years. Oh, and that tunnel that goes under that main road always makes me pucker. I dont make it to that river as much as I did in the 90's and early 2000's but I still float the upper reaches every year and wade a few spots in summer.
NDYakAngler
NDYakAngler - 5 years ago
We had a really scary experience at that bridge one day. My friend who tipped in his kayak at the start of this video brought his wife with and she slammed into the middle of that bridge column on the front side. She fell in and went floating through the tunnel while the kayak got hung up on the front of the bridge. She had a cooler attached with a bungee leash in the rear tank well, it went down one side and the kayak went down the other causing it to get stuck. She was pretty freaked out but made it through ok. Luckily I was behind them so I was able to pull over and climb up on top of the bridge and free her kayak with my paddle.

NDYakAngler
NDYakAngler - 5 years ago
The only one I’ve used braid with was a 190 WP on my musky rig. It probably doesn’t make a huge difference with a lure that’s generally worked fast but I still like clear line in the clear water I fish most of the time. The setup I throw the Plopper on is a 6’8” M F St Croix Legend Tournament with a Quantum Smoke SL100HPT reel and 14lb Trilene Sensation.

My theory is that the second fish chased the first one back to the kayak and hung out under me eyeing the spook while I held the first one up for the camera. Then as soon as the fish went back into the water and made some surface commotion that second one realized it had competition and smashed the spook. It’s crazy how aggressive smallmouth get when there’s two or more competing for a meal!

+joshua mayo ..first of all. .thanks for taking the time to read my comment! This young angler has made an excellent video about the mishaps of fishing from a kayak, which I can relate to in so many ways. It also points out the fact that he keeps on fishing even though there are some pretty difficult times mixed in. His whopper popper videos are great! Life is very similar in so many ways. ..a lot of great times and success but some hangups, some snags, some breakoffs, missed opportunities etc. Along the way. But..we keep going..we don't quit ! I wasn't trying to offend you with the "God is good! " comment. Neither was I trying to make anything religious. Just being who I am. I will continue to be me. I hope you will be the best " you " that you can be. Thanks again for reading, not necessarily agreeing with, my comment! God is good. ...in my life!
