Great work on your channel. I fish with my son a lot as well, and wouldn't have it any other way. I'd like to suggest that you try a "donkey rig" or double fluke rig sometime. The great thing about them, is the weedless nature. You can cast up in the grass and work it back out. I like to pause just as the lures clear the grass. The other suggestion is the "grass pig" rigged weedless or behind a 1/4-3/8 oz weedless swim jighead. I personally like the Strike King Tour Grade swinging jighead. You can work heavy grass edges, it casts forever and the grass pig can be worked slow or fast. Redfish and trout love them. Chartreuse has been a great all around color for me. Definitely recommend using a heavier rig though. I usually throw it on my Calcutta 200 or Penn Conflict II 3000. Tight lines my man! Living the dream.
Nice video , glad to see you fishing with your son. Lots of great memories fishing with my grandfather and cousin from age 14 till my grandfather and cousin passed when I was in graduate school. Taught my kids to fish but one passed at age 23 , and my daughter is busy with college and youngest is busy trying to figure out what to do with his life. So I fish alone in my kayak still have fun but always erring on the safe side when I go kayak fishing safety always first. Keep the videos coming , I enjoy your commentary. Tight lines 👍✌️
Something I'm learning about with canoe fishing, other than an anchor is drag chain. On a cam buckle system. From the bow or stern can be effective holding you in the right direction.
Hey mark, Just wanted to take a sec to say that I’m just getting into kayaking and ran across your channel. You got a new subscriber. Good content, honest reviews of equipment and a good attitude. Been fishing matagorda to Galveston my whole life and am really looking forward to some new adventures in a kayak. Thanks for the videos.
Which one is the best for fishing and which one overall between solo 119 and the Hobie? Planning on fishing and exploring waterways but don't know what to pick, a good fishing kayak or a solo canoe...🤔
Used to have a 15' RamX Coleman canoe yrs ago. Had lots of fun using it, but never fished out of it. That thing was really unstable. Since you're using a kayak paddle, wouldn't the rig you're in be classified as a Yaknoe? 🤔
Got a quick question about the 119, do you think you could install a powerpole on it? Im looking at getting one and when fishing small creeks and rivers it would be great. Also planning on duck hunting out of the kayak so it would work great there as well on occasion. Just want to hear your thoughts on it.
@@MDLRFishing I mean do you think 12lbs would be too much to one end of the kayak? I havnt seen anyone mount one of these on this boat style but feal it could be done. Just am trying to make a good small creek, river, and pond fishing and duck hunting setup.
@@MDLRFishing Im tempted to try it and see. Was kinda hoping someone else had done this before so I had some idea of if it is even possibly gonna work.
Hey Mark! I have a couple of questions. Do you have any suggestions for ultra light rod brands or rod and reel combos? Also, do you throw the bugs lures on spinning gear? I tried throwing some of the 1/8 oz lures on my baitcaster and they were so light that it was causing backlash issues. Thanks!
I recommend custom rods that are light or UL 7’ or longer. I use both spinning and casting for lures in the 1/16 to 1/8 oz class. I can get them out there with some distance on the above rods. My reels are tiny too. 500 series spinning and 100 series baitcasting.

@7:53, FINALLY someone called this a CANOE! It is a hybrid, but everyone else calls it a KAYAK. Thank you 🙏🏻
🤙
Great video! Shows everything doesn't have to high tech, expensive to have a good trip. I appreciate that.

I fish the marsh in a 15'5 old town canoe and the wind is the biggest enemy. Just made a push pole to tie off to. Cant wait to try it. Great video
Nice, good to see you hanging out and fishing with your son. Way to go Devil Dog. Semper Fi brother.
Always fun to fish with family! Take advantage of the good times! Keep'em tite!

Spending the day with your son is always a good catch LOL😎🙏👼

Nice video , I was thinking while I was watching it that it would de cool to put a bigsby motor on that sportsman.
Good fishing mark and your son keeping up with you awesome. If I remember correctly last time he caught more reds than you lol.
Good video brother! I can’t wait to catch me some flatters this summer.
Fun to fish with your son Mark! Good for you
Looks like a handy lil boat
Nice your son is going to be a great fisherman
I went there on Saturday with my Jon boat and I had the same results, got really windy later on, had to leave, But nice video Mark!

Great video man 🤗
Tie a small loop around the thwart and stick a stake out pole through it. Thats how I quickly anchor my canoe in the marsh
thanks for the canoe video.
Another great video thanks. Would it be better to use the Old Town in a traditional way, single paddle, etc. Also, get those air bags fitted...

Have you tried standing and fishing in it, yet? Thank you for the great videos!
yes. just search discovery 119 solo on my channel for the vids.

Anything is possible but you’d be adding a lot of weight to one end of the platform.

@@johnbeilhartiv1042 honestly not sure.

watch out bro.! getting pressure from jr. !
That's awesome!
Nice, I am looking at getting one of these. How comfortable is that seat?
I can sit in it for about 3 hours before feeling the need to start squirming around and stretching the back.

What length paddle do you use with the Sportsman 119? I just got one trying to choose a paddle.
I’m not sure what size it was.
Do you still run the Old Town Canoe or Kayaks they gifted you?
I don't use them anymore.
It look like it wood be great if it had a micro power pole on the back of it
That would be awesome!!!
I wonder how many calories you are burning paddling vs peddling.
not sure
@@MDLRFishing have you thought of getting a device that tracks it?
put a power pole on it
What's your son's channel?
MCDtv
Yooo 360p either way tight lines
It looks like when would be hail in that thing with no power pole
It’s not. You just have to play to it’s strength. Set a good drift and repeat. Or park on the bank and fan cast then repeat.
dude your drip rings are way off!!! how long have you been paddling...really!?
