Rigging a Sit-In Fishing Kayak: Episode 10

In this episode, John "Toast" Oast of Fishyaker.com walks through the rigging of a sit-in kayak, when used for back country kayak fishing. A sit-inside recreational kayak is a great platform for fishing in small bodies of water, small flowing rivers and streams, and cypress swamps. Some of the important equipment would include a GPS unit and survey ribbon, to keep the paddler from becoming lost. Loppers or clippers aid in removing overhanging branches. If paddling in secluded areas, always remember to pack everything you "might" need, and let someone know how long you plan to be on the water.

Hi Fishyaker. Where did you put the transducer of the fish finder?? in or out the kayak.

Thanks.

[fishyaker]

The puck is mounted inside the kayak, and shoots through-hull. It is just behind the seat, centered.

why do you have garden pruning shears?sp?

[fishyaker]

The shears help to get way back in the "bush". When we do a lot of our fresh water kayak fishing, we need to get into some really tight quarters. :)

Great video. I have a wilderness 10 footer. Where did you mount the transducer? Suction cup on inside of boat?

me and my dad are gonna get kayaks for us. and im wondering which kind of kayak would be better. sit in or sit on top. and could a normal kayak be converted into a good angler kayak?

I have a Pamlico 100 and love it. The Pamlicos have a huge cokpit... do you have problems reaching your sonar where you have it mounted? I am thinking of mounting a RAM mount in the cup holder so it is nice and close. Did you mount your transducer inside the hull?

Anybody know anything on the Featherlite 9.5 Angler?

[pamlico140]

Cool Pamlico 120. I owna Pamlico 140- it's 2 feet longer, 1 inch narrower.

Love the fact that you used "Face to Face" as your background music!

Maybe next time a narration would be better...I have no idea what that plug thing was you inserted in the back. Just my opinion that's all....

thanks...

Awesome vids.... Ever think about mounting a trolling motor to your yak? I would be interested in your ideas...
