Nice little portable kayak. I do some sea fishing from a sit on top kayak. A couple of pointers : anchor from the bows, wear a life jacket, stay seated for safety. Great to access those hard to get to places.
That's smart Dan, I've had a couple of inflatable kayaks for 10+ years now, still going strong,never had any issues at all with them, used them on the sea and everything, that looks very stable and that little outboard spot on. Looks like a very good investment, would definitely come in handy in some of the drains I fish, banks ar just to steep on most areas to even fish
I've been kayak fishing for years now (viking reload) and I'd suggest you wear a PFD when your on your new vessel. Also and its just observation is I wonder how easy it would be to get back into if you fell in on a lake or large body of water. Interesting offering from Savage gear. Make sure you do your very best to not get hooks stuck into the material, may not be as robust as you think. All the best with it and tight lines.
When fishing, take the pump with you ! we used to have a rubber duck that leaked so much you needed two people to get ashore one to row, one to pump for dear life !
Hey Dan a huge time saver and great little investment would be a double action handpump like the one Intex makes. I do a lot of inflatable craft fishing be it from my raft or my float tube and I'm really happy with having switched over from foot pumps to a double action pump, job gets done in 10 pumps not even kidding. Enjoy the E-yak it looks preem 🤘
Plenty of comments regarding life jackets, but even with a life jacket/PFD you will be in serious trouble if you fall in during the colder winter months from hyperthermia. I would really advise purchasing a dry suit. I know someone who fell off his kayak in the river in the winter and if it wasn't for him having a friend close by to help and his car close by (to warm up) he would have been in serious trouble. He thought he was going to die through the cold.
Trolling dead baits beneath a float is a good method, with paddles or electric motor. The fish slowly rolls in the wash of the boat, and you can cover a lot of water. Remember to connect the float top and bottom or it'll get dragged under.
I have 2 of them, and I love them. But referring to them as "kayaks" is not a service to anyone looking to buy one. They're great with a motor. They even make great stand-up-paddleboards. But they don't paddle with anywhere near the same efficiency as a kayak. Anyone who buys one thinking they're going to paddle it like a kayak will be sorely disappointed at the low speed and massive effort it takes to paddle them. That said, I love mine for what they are. A great way to get on the water, only use up a little closet space, and very easy to transport in the trunk or back seat of the car.
@@martybousum1010 I was just about to suggest that before I read your comment. I've never had any trouble with specific types of hook more if they're deep set or not. I had a big pike almost swallow whole my frog lure when it attacked it but got it out in the end with some long pliers.
Ahoy there! Just for info. the 'oars' are known 'paddles' and the 'seats' are known as 'thwarts'! Good luck Sailor! Looks good fishing low down on the water!
Real nice job I have been fly fishing the loughs and rivers in north and south of Ireland but wanting to buy a boat for a year now. I want something lightweight and have to admit the savage gear high rider looked my best option until this wee beauty came along. I am 6 foot 2 and 15 stone so stability and build quality is a must. This looks the business. Thanks for sharing. I liked and subscribed. Tight lines.
So glad you’ve got one. Next stunner I’m wanting one! Awesome vids to follow! Loch awe and Loch Lomond! Here we go! All the best for the new year! Watp
Nice kayak.. But I prefer my dinghy, as its much wider and gives you more stability 😁. I would recommend to get the kayak into the water, then add the motor&battery. All that weight pressing at the back could lead to a puncture. At 0,9 is not that thick, and even a sharp stone could damage it. I've got wheels on my dinghy, to help me getting across the fields Enjoy fishing 🎣🎣
Thanks, Is the tail fin necessary? seems like it would catch grass and other obstacles. Also the water to where I fish in my pontoon gets to be 1ft deep.
Looks really good. Savage gear make some great products. I myself just invested in my first lure fishing setup from savage gear and for the price I can’t complain just need to get out on the river to use it
@@squidstoe1994 yeh man all around the city and places outside also just started to post some videos on my RUclips as just got a go pro, will be posting a little street fishing one later or tomorrow when I finish editing it , check my page if you like I'd greatly appreciate it 👊🤙
Hi Dan, great vid I'm torn between the high rider, or this E rider. Could you let me know what trolling motor you used and price? I would be using it for bass fishing, so estuary's and close coastal fishing. Cheers Graham.
Cracking boat mate. Off course a bit but that net looks good too, I've got a savage gear folding net and the holes are still pretty narrow especially when trebles get near it 😭
Hi nice gear can you make a video how to register this boat , where from get insurance , Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) certificate or how much it cost permit to use on the different waters , thanks
Bin that foot pump and get yourself a 3ltr double action pump, about a tenner from go outdoors or the range. You'll cut the inflation time down loads. I can pump my float tube up in no time with one
@@pikeandperch that's one drain I've not fished, driven over it a few times and stopped for a look. Had a few good fish from the river close by. A fly rod will be ideal for that drain though. Funnily enough someone once suggested dropping the float tube on it.
Wicked that mate! Just bough a kayak myself and nearly went in a few time getting used to it haha can't stand on mine yet but once get to grips with it should be fine. Just busted my leg tho so not gonna be on the water anytime soon but watching your vids should scratch the itch while I'm out of action 😁
Swap these crocodile beaks for proper terminators. And use wing nuts to tighten them to the battery connections. AND more important; USE PROPER FUSES (40 or 50 Amps) IN CONJUNCTION WITH HIGH POWER BATTERIES
Mate you need to tie the anchor at the bottom and a weak zip tie to the top that way if your anchor snags you bust out the zip tie and your anchor comes up backwards!
That looks ace Dan 👍👌👍 whats the rod like is it better than your westin rod ?? You are deffinetly the first English pike fisherman on a kayak 😁🎣👍 give a description of the set up please Dan about the gobby and the stinger on top is it 18cm or 23cm gobby ?? Great content mate all best for 2021 pal can't wait to see all the kayak content threw summer Dan 👍👌👍
guys, i kayak fished forever. get a 2.5 hp outboard. if you can store a huge battery and a trolling motor in your vehicle, you can store a small outboard. more power, less weight, less room.
DB fishing has got a kayak 😮 this is massive! look foward to move videos, maybe even a go pro mounted on the front of the kayak looking at you?🤷♂️ that would be cool and might want to get yourself a life jacket big lad I know I would, but sick kayak man, I have been blanking for 5 sessions straight
Cant beat a kayak , since I got one I've caught easily 5X more fish as it allows you to go and find the fish rather than wait for them to come to you. You'll be addicted to it soon enough.

Agree. In summer on slow moving rivers etc. it's probably OK. Otherwise I really wouldn't fancy it.

Try extending the trolling motor cable and get the battery in the front to counter balance

Just ordered one. Hope to have it in a couple of weeks. Ready for the next Seluris Glanes.(European Catfish) season.
Looks good , now u can cover lots of water that would be unavailable from the bank
You'll catch loads more fish with the new set up, happy new year guys 🤝🎣
I meant to add, not sure if you've seen them before but have a look at the bison battery box. Cost about £60 but well worth it. 👍

Did you get the 30 or 40 lbs minn kota? And is it enough for the e rider or do you prefer more power?
Thanks for a fantastic channel
I stopped using triple bait hooks, they damage the fish too much and it is difficult to remove them now I only use single hooks
U mean trebles?
I pinch down my hook's barbs. Hook easily removed. Fish like it too!
@@martybousum1010 I was just about to suggest that before I read your comment. I've never had any trouble with specific types of hook more if they're deep set or not. I had a big pike almost swallow whole my frog lure when it attacked it but got it out in the end with some long pliers.
This makes me want one, opens up a lot more water for you.

Takes lure fishing to a new level 👌
Nice bit of kit👍
Tight lines bud 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
How easy would the treble hooks on one of your lures penetrate that inflatable portion of that?
Cool 👍 I had same idea and I went with sit on top kayak. If u see blue kayak around there u need to say hello. Great video.
I’ve just invested into kayak fishing, opens up way more waterways for you!!

Dan heerlijke video weer en een zeer goede beslissing van je...er gaat nu nog één wereld voor je open en je komt nu op veel meer visstekken. 👍👍
may the force be with your kayak.
Didn't saw this vid, very nice kayak mate, i like it 👍
This is super cool! Savage gear makes great stuff. Congrats man
Great review, thanks! Can you tell what is the reason the water got inside or something in @12:36? Does it leak...? :O

Could even get out after the bass and pollack on that new rig 👍👍
You should swap out the anchor for a kettlebell Dan. That’s what I use on my boat.
I use a 2-3' length of logging chain on a rope for slowing down on fast water.
looks great. does it include a bag or backpack?
life jacket is a must mate, if you go in its not gonna be the depth thats gonna be the problem
🎣🐟👍great video buddy nice pike session 👍👍
Looks really good. Savage gear make some great products. I myself just invested in my first lure fishing setup from savage gear and for the price I can’t complain just need to get out on the river to use it
Does it drift a lot in wind? Is the bottom completly flat?
When you use the oars it's better to kneel on your knees in the foot area, you will have better control.
Where did you order tours from out of interest I've tried looking but ideal I'd like a stockist u can visit and look knew over before spending. 👍
Which knot are you using to connect main zu fluoro dude ?
What licenses do you need for it on the waterways in Uk? Or is it basically a “kayak”
I'm also curious, did you find the answer?
Hi, what kind of permissions you need in order to fish from a boat/kayak in the UK? Thanks
Great video
What’s happened to the Abu Garcia rod ? Thinking of buying it, just curious if u didn’t like it or something
Awesome, kayak looks epic need to get one of those for here in Amsterdam 😆🤙 look forward to seeing those other catches 💪 Tightlines 👍
Do you fish in the main streets of amsterdam bro ? Always been somewhere i wanna chuck a lure or two about

I’ve been switching between a Johnny bass 100, feel free lure 11.5 or this savage gear one. Thanks for the review mate 👊
Looks savage that ..want one now 🍻
Thats a proper rope for the anchor.
That looks like great spinner bait water!
Hi, do you need any licence to using inflatable kayak in uk?
Dan can you let me know what the rod/reel combo is, fancy a multi for spinning could't quite see on the vid.
Reel is Okuma, Citrix. Rod looks like a Savage Gear.
That’d be pretty cool to fish for bass in.
seems ok but a bit pricey for a dingy. nice that you can stand up in it. the thought of cleaning and drying it puts me off :)
for the 5 lakes in england it looks good
guys, i kayak fished forever. get a 2.5 hp outboard. if you can store a huge battery and a trolling motor in your vehicle, you can store a small outboard. more power, less weight, less room.

Cool bit of gear
you need to come to Canada ....the fishing is much better.
Get a RIDGEMONKEY power pack and a 12v electric pump mate. I do a full size 270cm dingy in under 10 mins, you'll do that in 3.
Beats walking through all brambles lol you could do with 2 one for each foot haha
whats the legalities with registering the boat and fishing from said boat on a canal ?
I'm still contemplating on getting this one. Can you please post more videos and your experiences with it? Is it stable? Thanks
@@pikeandperch thanks mate, looking forward to it. Happy new year
What’s your new rod like?
I got a pair of socks for Christmas......... Do you want to swap families?! 😢😢😭😭😂😂
Hehe 🤣
Nice vid mate , is it stronger enough to withstand a hook from a lure lol
Heloo. What is the internal size between the balloons?
How stable is it? I'm kind of a big bloke.
Looks cool excerpt one day imagine ur out and there is a hole in it from wear and tear and you start sinking and deflating 😂
I've had the same inflatable kayak for nearly 20 years and still strong this new material will last for ages I bet
Roll of duct tape
He would swim or wade to the bank, obviously....lol...
Savage gear browser rod too?
Hi, buddy, tell me, do you need a permit or permission to fishing from a kayak on the canals?
What reel do you use please?
how much dose it cost and dose it come with motter and battery
Nice .How about a jig fly vid can’t remember if you have done one in the past tho 🤔
Where abouts do you fish please? Im from leeds and i know you fish around there but could you recommend anywhere please? Thankyou
better pump is what you need, like a high volume two way styrup pump type pump or an electric compresor!
You need to colab with Carl and Alex fishing!!
i be scared i get a hook in it
You come at the fish from a different angle, much better than fishing the bank
Love the channel
Hey Dan! Nice one :). But next to the Kayak you forgot to do the unboxing for your new rod ;-)
@@pikeandperch My girlfriend is not happy with you. I bought your previous rod (which broke, forgot the name), the lidl bag, and some lures :D.

Hows this kayak for fly fishing?
Is it patchable the rubber?
I had an Entsport rod just like that, their nice but break easily
Get one of the piscifun serpent rods. They're about $70 and really durable.
What lb braid do you use?
