where can i get a window weight?

[fishyaker]

Try a salvage shop that speciallizes in home supplies. They were common years ago, and when older homes have windows replaced they are usually just thrown out now.

hello how much line do you put on your anchor

thanks

[fishyaker]

It should be at least twice the depth of the water. It would mainly depend on how much current there is.

[fishingaddict0812]

hey, is an 8 pund mushroom anchor to heavy for a sit on kayak?

[fishyaker]

That will work, but may be more than is necessary. A lot would depend on how swiftly the water is moving where you are anchoring.

Great videos with good ideas. I'll suggest you to learn how to make a bowline knot. The bowline is an exceptionally versatile knot. It is quick to tie (once you practice), it doesn't slip and it doesn't jam. Also, a stopper knot, wich is easy to do and undo when necessary.

ty so much for these vids, I saved a ton of money doing the stuff instead of buying them. Yaker for Life !!!

it will be stronger than the knots he made

I think since were talking about fishing kayaks and playing some ska, we need some reel big fish playing in the background :)
