It's called No Fish Island but it's more like Small Fish Island - Saddle Island, gorgeous but slim!

Perfect day to be out on the water at Saddle Island which, has the nickname "No Fish Island" however, after today, I reckon a better name would be "Small Fish Island" ;-). Follow me on Facebook and Instagram. madsaffer madsaffernz Music from www.bensound.com Thanks for watching!

Today I had the privilege of being invited by The Watershed to demo some Hobie kayaks. Dan was super cool and took me through the awesome features of the Outback and Compass models. If you looking to purchase a kayak you definitely need to check out the Hobie kayak range. Get in touch with Dan at www.hobie.com/dealers/AU39/.

Is fishing allowed in alert level 3 and did I find a gem? I'll know soon enough!
Просмотров 1502 года назад
Coming out of alert level 4 I made a couple of phone calls and confirmed via three different authoritative entities that we can in fact fish from a kayak during alert level 3. Also, with nothing else to do during lockdown, I did some searching and found a beaut of a lure. Is it a gem? I'll know soon enough when I try it out for the first this weekend out on the water. If you keen to give it a t...

NOOB moment! I posted a tip on how to prepare your softies using a bucket of Gulp softies....stupid idea! Rather use a pool noodle to setup your softies the night before a fish. Way better! Thanks for watching. Music: www.epidemicsound.com
CAUGHT MY BIGGEST SNAPPER! In the most unexpected place!
Просмотров 4 тыс.3 года назад
Tried something new and paddled out before sunrise, what a great idea. Beautiful sunrise over Achilles Point in St Heliers, breathtaking cloud formations and dead calm water. Caught loads of snapper and my PB coming in at 54cm. I initially thought it was a Sting Ray the way it was fighting but what a nice surprise to see it was a Snapper. Caught it using a whole squid on an unweighted stray lin...

MY NEW PEDAL DRIVE KAYAK! Dry Suit for $100???
The speed issue might have more to do with your kayak hull design more than the thrusters
Nice content you got bro, just liked and subscribed !
Amico ...anche io sto lavorando sul mio kayak con i propulsori...la potenza stai usando 12v oppure 24v ?
What kayak is this?
I’ve had a NOVA for 3 years now and used it for deep sea open ocean fishing here in Hawai’i. Not gonna like it held up decently but the peddles always failed with current and waves, they even broke on me in the open ocean so I had to paddle 2 miles back to shore. This kayak is great for lake fishing but not for deep sea. I found a manufacturer that makes an upgraded wire for the drive so it worked well deep sea ever since. Going to miss this kayak since I’ve bought a Hobie revo this week. I agree the there’s nothing wrong with the NOVA, you can’t beat what u get for the price. But, I’m at the stage in my fishing where I need a hobie.
Have you ever fished along the piles?
nice snaps for that spot!
Never mind this one. Wait until you try the Passport 10.5, the Hobie sleeper.
how long could you ride with those batteries?
Love your comment of "Damm I love fishing"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thinking of doing something similar. What motor, ESC and batteries are you using. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing ! Now I understand why my flap cable are break and why my flap shaft are broken. Thank you so much !
How do you adjust the range of motion of the flaps? Mine don't go up all the way?
Thanks for the tips. Where do you order spare parts for the flap system?
Well done. Thanks
Hobie appears strong on comfort and design, but woefully inadequate on drive workmanship, durability, and reliability. WAKE UP HOBIE!
What number marker where you at? I want to give it a go
Nice bro what size line you using
Hello Mad Saffer. Have not seen any new videos.
keep it up and "Don't Let The Old Man In".
That looks a lot like my Bay Sport Pro Fish 3.4. ruclips.net/video/0FRbsi0I6eI/видео.html Thanks for sharing and tight lines.
I have the Nova (here in Australia it's the Bay Sports 3.4m) but it has a new Hobie Mirage pedal with turbo fins installed when I bought it second hand. Goes like a rocket. Especially for $900 aud for the whole thing
Cheers mate, I'll check it out.
Great tips on the pedals. I always had my cables to tight. The tip on eliminating wear on the plastic part on the pedals was priceless
Glad it helped!
Cool and useful -- thanks for these posts. Thinking about doing this for when I am mostly sailing the kayak and harder to paddle with gear. Personally speed won't be my goal but range -- 3 - 4 knots would be fine. Have you paddled your kayak at the speed you want? If not, then likely a limitation of the hull speed of the boat. Takes exponentially more power to climb that bow wave.

please give a link to the part that controls the power to the thruster i.e. speed. Is it 12V? I wouldn't know the correct specs for such a part. thanks

Hows the drysuit holding up?
Hey, great project, have you any parts list from making this project too ? Thanks a lot
Hi Anthony. Sorry no. All parts were sourced from AliXpress.
I do love the Hobie PA-12 or 14. But best boat out there, that oldtown is 120 Autopilot with Minnkota spot lock. All pre wired plug and play. Hobie Has alot of competitive kayaks against them now. I have a Hoodoo impulse 120, fin drive, hand rudder, with all my add-ons. And the best add--on my NK-180 Electric motor. Limetruse yellow with black and sea-deck padding. And I can walk all over her, while out on the water. Good luck 🙏 😎 🎣
The Hoodoo impulse 120 is a mint kayak, must be a blast with the motor.
@@MadSaffer It's awsome. Just a light NK-180, Torqueedo, or Bixby, moves it atleast, 4 mph. Plenty of speed on tge kayaks designed today. For cruising to your spots, and then having a fin drive, or pdl drive, perfect hands free. 🙏 🎣 😎
I’ve seen almost all of your videos. Congrats on the fishing. I hope to see more videos to come. That beard is the shittt mate! Lol 😂
LOL! Cheers mate!
❤️
First thing I think is that maybe the motor need to be further apart so there not pulling turbulent air filled water threw them. Maybe a arm with 1 thruster on both sides. I also agree that 2 motors doesn't mean more speed just faster upto same speed as 1 and able to move more weight at the same time if 1 didn't have enough power to get u to top speed the 2nd will help I will be watching keep going
Nice review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice! This is exactly what I needed to see! Imagine having two of those come down to thrust assist two existing trolling motors. This is good work my friend.
Man, these look nice, but yeah that is a steep price. I don't think it's in my budget.
Feel you brother!
Mad Saffer. Get your ass out there and record some more videos for all of us!! Where the hell are you?!? Also I need that same kayak flag!
haha! I'm on it mate! Vids coming soon! Here you go bud, best I could find for you ;-) www.amazon.com/Railblaza-RAILBLAZA-Flag-Whip/dp/B00MEK0ZUY
Dude nice kayak, this was designed by someone who actually kayaks and fishes, really super
You look like a badass with your longer beard. I saw from the intro. We love all of your videos!! Please post more. Cheers from Texas.
Haha! Cheers bud, my wife would disagree ;-). Been slow over the last year due to COVID but planning to post more vids come summer. Cheers for the messages!
Question did you Kayak come with the rubber marine mat where your feet and pedals are or did you have to request it? Also do you know the name of the color you chose? It’s really nice. Finally will a 6FT’ person fit in this comfortable? How comfortable is the seat for a solid day of fishing?
Hey Justin. Came with the rubber mat standard. Color is Apple Black.
Love the setup! How has it held up?
So far mint!
Have you had the chance to fit a Hobie Drive in its place yet just to see if it fit?
Hey Justin. Not yet bro but looking for an opportunity to see if it fits. If I find one I'll def do a vid to cover the outcome. Cheers for the messages!
@@MadSaffer Hey man, do you recall how much the Broker Agent charge was to clear your kayak through (Port Customs Clearance) for your NOVA? I’m trying to figure all this stuff out, because I am in the middle of trying to purchase the same kayak from China.
@Justin Hey bud, the broker agent fee was around $300 NZD, not bad for the service. The majority of the cost was getting them through customs and transporting them to my house. You have to use an approved freight to transport them and they don't get inspected at customs. They have to be transported to a logistics facility to be inspected....cost for as well.
okay but where did you buy it from
Hey Kinginkaay. Link below...ask for Alice, she's super helpful. vickingkayaks.en.alibaba.com/minisiteentrance.html?spm=a2700.details.cordpanyb.6.4fe83af5jQQ611&from=detail&productId=1600172008400
They look great but I think I'll go with a Chinese rig with an outboard added if that's even possible in NZ. Not sure of any of the chinese ones can take a motor
Hey Dean. Rigging an outboard is on my list of to-do's as soon as we recover from the COVID lockdowns. I reckon my NOVA will handle a little 1.5HP 4 stroke well. Will make a trip out to Motuora way more feasible :-)
Am I the only one who went backwards lol? Bought an outback in late 2000, sold it, got a nova and have been happy with it ever since. It has been trouble free since now (1.5 year).
Awesome Simo! For the price the NOVA is a beaut. The pedals can be a little dodgy if not maintained. Checkout my video on tips to make them last longer.
@@MadSaffer Always flushed with fresh water after saltwater fishing and a spray of Wd40 does wonders lol. And btw, I can confirm, the 180 does fit, don't tell anyone 😁 Cheers mate
Was the rigidy and torsion good on the mount to the lower unit? Any movement inmaterial, mounting ponts or hinge mechanism. Is that stainless?
A little movement but not enough to matter. Definitely needed more thrust to get the speed I wanted.
Hey there new subscriber here just wondering is that Buckland beach?
Hey bud, nah, it's Okahu Bay.
This motor not enough thrust and rpm.
Didn't even test one just went and bought one last Saturday, it is amazing!
Uh huh, the ol "one that got away", eh? Weve all heard that one bud! lmao JK. Good stuff!
