*We have taken it out twice so far and love it **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it only takes 5 mins to inflate. Seats are comfortable, kayak handles well. We love it so far!!*
Incredible value, stable hull design and comfortable cockpit with plenty of storage!
quite possibly the best 250.00 most of us would ever spend and last for years while having a blast on the water and modifying to the max, great video
Awesome!! Thank you!
Can you do a video on how to install and power the fish finder?
I have the same kayak and I love it. I used to shoot 3gun matches, I took the holders off my stroller and put them on my kayak and made outriggers! I am 240lbs and can stand with no issues.
I agree it's a great starter kayak! And I also haven't flipped mind at all yet! It's simply just a awesome way to cheaply get out and fish!
Love the setup getting the same one tomorrow hope it does good for this summer
DID you pick up the kayak you wanted?
I have my Yak fully loaded minus a anchor pole unit. With my Mantis shade rig which is extremely nice, as I burn like gas on my skin due to meds I take. After rigging, it's awesome. One thing I knew I had to get with a decked out PA 14 2016, is a Scotty Outriggers which I am mounting today 01June2016. The Torqeedo 403 is the best rig I added, as at the end of day we are tired n I can have my wife get beside me n cruise back with the 403. N it saved our life also.
Dang, serious fishing setup you got.
Great video! I too have a 10' (mine's an Ocean Kayak Tetra 10) and there aren't many vids out there with 10' kayaks rigged for fishing so THANK YOU! A SUGGESTION to you and all: Get a crate lid or make one. Also leash the rods that are stored and consider the one between your legs of you are swapping out rods fast (I don't leash the one I'm currently using; maybe I should). Last year I was fortunate enough to hook into my PB bass but rolled the kayak reaching to net the fish. I lost a St. Croix rod w/reel and tackle trays/other gear that did not float and was not teathered (some was/some was not). Done and said I was out about $300+ in gear in moments. That week I bought a second crate to make a lid for my gear crate (there are vids for making these lids). All the rods have their own Nite-Ize S-Biner attached to a piece of shock cord that is attached to the rod holder and the rod/reel. Everything is teathered or closed after that mishap now. We don't think it'll happen to us or know when but BE PREPARED. Some will say inexperience was my issue but even if it was, I could have saved the gear I lost. I hope this helps someone out there! I do care for you fellow fisherman. Have fun and be safe. Oh - I did end up being able to "measure" the LM bass (my scale sunk too so there was no weighing it) UGH!
Thank you for the extra info!!
Don't leash your rods. Use foam wraps if you're that worried about them. Leashes can create an extreme safety concern in the event you capsize. Imagine having your legs wrapped up in leashes...especially when half the people out there don't wear their freakin PFD. I'd rather lose a rod than my life.
Awesome yak nice setup!💯💪👊LET'S GO!!!
I just got my tamarak,i upgraded the seat to a stadium seat can't wait to get it out on the water this weekend,thanks for the video.
I love how you utilize that Walmart crate I use the same one in my living room to put my kids shoes in
Well done and thanks for all the informative suggestions. Love the names you mention of the products you use- most people don't mention it.
Love the rod floats awesome 👏
Awesome little kayak. I have the same one. Thanks for the look.
I just bought one. Can’t wait to get it out on the water.
Learned to fish in Spokane. Floating around in an inflatable raft on West Medical and Jump Off Joe Lakes. Fast forward to now: I have one of those kayaks on order and am going to try it as an easier to transport alternative to my 12 foot Sea king for fishing San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. (I live in NorCal now).
They are very easy to transport. Between 50lbs - 60lbs. Great kayak!
I have a tamarack 10 foot love mine thanks for the info
Great walkthrough of your boat.
Thanks
Thanks for the vid and ideas!
im definitely getting this one!! i have to shred some pounds. in a few days im getting mine.
My boat is almost this exact model. 30 inches wide I think. I'm a fairly spry 240lbs. It would be great if I was 60lbs lighter. But I manage just fine. It's my second season, so much fun. DOOOOEEEEEEET
I use my 12 t on big waters .stable but heavey.i picked up one of these from an overstock store for 112 bucks.love it.its my go to short tripper.can carry one armed to the water.plus it does great in the river.im 5'10 and 230 by the way.
i am also interested in learning about kayak tournaments too
I like your set up, mine is very similar. I LOVE my Tamarack! The anchor system is next. I have everything needed, just need the courage to drill into my kayak. LOL! 👍😃🎣💦
Drilling was one of my issues too.
I added a cascade mountain to my tamarack...i love it

Nice review an nice setup i got the tahoma from lifetime
I have the same kayak. Just started kayak fishing so far so good
Cool set up , I’ll probably get one myself 👍
Nice set up... you should look into a portable Stadium chair. Some of them fit you tamerack perfectly. Theres a few videos on youtube showing them... nice video bro..
I bought one. It feels like I am sitting up to high and it make the yak feel unstable.
Nice Kak.... I would only have maybe three rods. It is nice to grab one ready to go. God bless.
I have a lifetime kayak too. Does a good job for those with limited budgets.
Good vid brother I own a lifetime weber123 it works perfectly fine my rigs and the cheap in as well. Love your set up hopefully I can get everything togeather with mine and mount it all
Just got mine today going to do some modifications and going to try adding a trolling motor and I’ll fish with it till it no longer floats lol
I agree with the cheep kayak I've one to but six rods and 7 tackle box's is a bit over kill just adds to weight.
Im finding out less is more. The more crap you have on there the more screwing around you have to do
ya, 3 poles max
My rods are lucky if I bring three of them at the most. At most I’ll bring a backpack full of tackle etc... Usually I’ll have two rods and whatever tackle fits in my pockets. The real key is to have a small soft cooler with plenty of ice water and adult beverages
Awesome Video! Thinking about getting this kayak myself! Liked and Subbed!
Thanks man. Subbed!!!
Take a shot every time you hear “Scotty mount”
Very nice setup very nice
I have the Tamerick Lifetime 120, which is also a Ten Footer and i am preparing to put that puppy on Lake Meade in just a couple of weeks so i would be very grateful to hear about your experiences and suggestions. I bought a folding stadium chair to sit on, and i am planing to go after Stripers with Light Tackle thru the summer and fall...
Check out the stadium Seat, works great. Ive got the same kayak, love mine.
You hardly left any room for beer!!
Nice sit up, just bought me one last month and been working on projects for it. Mine was cheap $300, had it out twice and love it. Got a milk crate in it, anchor trolly on it now. Next be some padding to quite down the inside of it. Thinkin those yoga mats lol
Hey man nice video, how slow is ti? I just order the same boat. I plan on crossing my 1 1/2 mile lake. Im new at kayaking
Not really made for speed. Made for fishing. great starter boat!!
I don't have a lifetime but i do have a 10 ft. Speed isn't really a thing with the kayak.I can tell you that in my yak it takes me about a half hour to 45 min to go a mile. I take it easy though. the way i see it is if its wearing you all out you're doing it wrong
I used my in brackish water and cut up the bow and skeg with oysters. Despite years of abuse it never leaked.
Can you explain your techniques for mounting pad eyes or other attachments. Is there a concern with the type and thickness of the plastic hull?
Very nice , I liked and subbed you👍👍
Thanks. I returned the favor!!
Wow this is a proper setup! I would love to set up mine like that but I don't think its conducive for deep sea fishing and large backline breakers hahaha!
Soooo jealous...... Quick question....how do you transport your kayak? Pickup truck? I been thinking on getting me a kayak....but I have a Nissan Altima....would a roof rack do the job on this? Is it too heavy?...thanks for the video.!!!
If you plan on getting the same kayak. You will have no problem at all. The tamarack is very manageable. Light weight. I transported it on a Toyota Camry. Also a van.
Only 6 rods? Wtf
LOL!!!
Right. I only use 3 MAX on mine. Sheesh boys.
🤣
I'm 6'7 and 380 pounds should I even be trying to get my big behind in a kayak?
Hell yeah!! Do your research first. Find one that is comfortable for you!!
Yes, but not the Tamarack. Check out a Hobie PA14, A Jackson Big Rig, a Native Titan 13, or a Bonafide ss1207.
Great video. I have the same kayak but its the lime green one without the extra fishing stuff. I was going to mount my fishfinder like yours but i wasnt sure about attaching to that hatch. How do you like it there. And what do you think about that side mount rod holder? Thanks.
I do not use the hatch, So it does not bother me to much. I was thinking of mounting it somewhere else so I could start using it though. Right now I only use it to store the battery for the fish finder.
Does that side rod holder in the front get in your way at all?
Sorry I didnt mention it before. I mounted the rod holder on the hatch lid also. check out my other setup video. You will see what I am talking about.
Lol, that's what I wanted to do....nice work.
I have this kayak and love it...however the included paddle always seem to drip a few drops to the interior...anybody recommend an upgrade to the stock one? Maybe one that’s longer? Thx
There are many different styles to choose from. Check these out from YakAttack. www.yakattack.us/catchnrelease-drip-ring-pair/
You can find them on eBay or Amazon. Or check out your local sporting good store. They may also carry them. I now use Werner Paddles. www.wernerpaddles.com/
A little pricey. But well worth it.
Every angler only needs three fishing poles on a kayak. If you can't catch anything you're doing something seriously wrong. Bait /crickets , minnows, shad.
Three test lines . Milk crate, air horn , life jacket, anchor, tow line, first aid kit, two minny flash lights. Dry bag/ plastic sandwich bags . Water bottle turkey sandwich. ...😆
Great opinion! And everyone has a right to their own! I know many anglers who carry more than I do. Its about being prepared! Out of the 6 I may only use 2 that day. Just depends on how the day goes. Also each line has something different tied on. So while your baits are not working and you are spending time trying to figure out what to tie on next. I will keep on fishing! Thanks for the opinion though! #WearYourPFD
Looks gud bud luv my tamarak...
Where do you keep the fish when you catch them? Or do you just throw them back?
Always Catch and Release!! (CPR)
What screws you use for your Track Mount plz answer back
How does that anchor pulley thing work do you tie the sock off the back somewhere
Watch this video. I hook the sock up the same way you would a anchor. ruclips.net/video/C99USdt3zQY/видео.html
I think you went a bit overboard with this one buddy. How are you going to manage six rod? Why would you even need six rods for kayak fishing? I find that two is more than enough. I could see if you were doing some ocean fishing.
There are more people than not that carry 5 plus rods while kayak fishing. Managing that many rods is the easy part.
@@WestCoastBassin 2-3.is enough for me, top water , crank, and micro light open face....but that's me
I couldnt hear anything you said when you started talking about its stability?
I have met people who say they can stand up with no problem. People that are pushing 6'. But I have also spoke with others who say they can not stand up. I tried it a few times with no luck. But I'm sure if you have great balance there would not be a problem. I know a guy who fished the whole 2018 season in the Tamarack. He won the KBF state AOY. It is a great boat. I have a Jackson Kayak Coosa FD now. But I still fish out of the Tamarack sometime.
WestCoastBassin hey thank you for the reply! Ive been doin some research on good starter kayaks and this seems highly moddable and affordable. Thank you for the video and information!
I live down the road from this lake, we should meet up, I captain a Feel Free 13.5
Yeah man. Lets get together this year.
do you know if tranduscer can read through the plastic
They sure can. Just make sure you install it right. No bubbles..There are a few videos on RUclips to show you how to do it..
@@WestCoastBassin cheers mate
What are the color sleeves around your rods?
they are flotation devices. So if I was to drop a rod in the water it would float and I would not lose my gear. They are good to have for sure. But now I have actually switched over to Rod leashes instead. Sometimes my line got caught in those flotation devices.
sick kayak,i Fish a lot of pike from my Pelican Kayak on my Channel ,looking to upgrade this year ill subscribe and check your other videos on set ups and everything tight lines sub #134
How do you power the lowlance ??
With a 12v Cabelas battery.
Does them floating devices affect your casting around the eyes with the bait casters ??
Eric Minniear sometime the line does get caught. But sometime is better than losing a rod..
I agree with you and thanks for responding back to me..and I will try your idea sir
I have the same boat. How do you get at the other rods and tackle boxes?
After seeing your set up for the depth finder i might move mine around. Where is your battery?
I just reach back and grab them. My battery is in the middle compartment. Thanks for subbing!!
How'd you set up your go pro to sit behind you

I am at 315lbs with myself and gear. Can anyone tell me if the Tamarack has held over 300lbs?
WHAT SIZE SCUFFLE PLUGS DOD YOU GET AND HOW MANY???
I only plug the scupper holes under my butt so it do
not get wet. Grab you some practice foam golf balls from wal-mart. They work great!!
what about those one way valves?
Just rubber plugs that I made to fit.
I don't know the size in diameter but i would say they are about the same round diameter as a golf-ball. i purchased 6 f them expecting to use four and have two for spares???I appreciate your getting back to me on this. Thank you
What is that foam stuff on the rods?
Rod floats.
What kinda power/battery setup you got for the fish finder?
On this setup, I am using the Cabelas 12v battery inside of a Walmart ammo box!
Why do you need 6 rods?
Having each rod setup for different presentations allow me more time to fish. It helps out a great deal when I am competing in tournaments.
WestCoastBassin ok I'm old school guy, I get maybe 2 rods.
Understand tournament idea.
That just looks ridiculous, why don't you put some curb feelers on it too?
Howd you rig up your camera??
nice set up ! But trust me it does not do the same as the more expensive yacks ! Not the same ried . like a V.W an a corvette .
Ikr, someone's smoking crack
if they're asking price is 500 at Dicks Sporting Goods.
All you need now is a little camping stove and fish straight onto cooking
Washington State?
Yep!
@@WestCoastBassin Nice! Been to lake Cassidy a few times. I have a question for you know of any lakes that have catfish other then bullhead? lol
2019 Teton or Yukon.
Teton! Amazing yak🎣
Cool setup, but unfortunately does not do the same thing as a $3k kayak lol.
Yeah but what does a 3k kayak do?
That's right you fish out of it!
6 rods. Someone's overcompensating. Just a little
You made it look pretty snassy! Looking into picking of of these up. Nice video I will subscribe to your channel. Check out my if you have a chance
Check my yak. Same one. You might get some ideas!
Smtn I wana see is get some of the really cheap ones and sent em to poor water countries and see what things they can accomplish
U know he’s has 1 sub
Bruhh
Dude I live like 2 mins from there lol.
Do you fish? Have A kayak? We should get together and do some fishing.
the padded seat is just fine and not a piece of crap. you are just mad because you lost yours and you are calling it a piece of crap...thumbs down for you man... overkill kid...
Hey thanks for your opinion. I'm sure you know how that goes. But thanks for watching my video. 🤑🤑
good job though...Gary
That thing has too much. Your bound to get cluster fucked
Incredible value, stable hull design and comfortable cockpit with plenty of storage!
