"sometimes I hate flounder" 😂 so, a few months back I took my yak out without my peddle unit and attempted to paddle only. Of course I filmed it. The inspiration for that exercise was watching you and how easily you maneuver and navigate the really shallow waters. It was a complete disaster! It looked like that outing only the water was calm! Lol😂 I say all of that to give you props. If I had to do that all the time, I don't think I'd enjoy the sport nearly as much. Good job!!
Haha, thank you. A lot of my tournament success with paddling really started when I picked up that little Jackson Kilroy that I use in most of the tournaments. It’s quick, stable, and can make micro adjustments easier than most pedal or motor powered kayaks. In this video I’m in the Jackson big rig which is a beast in any current or wind to maneuver. If my only yak was a big paddle kayak I think I’d struggle big time.
In this video I’m using the Jackson Big rig, it’s about 40” wide and 13.6’ long I believe. It’s my stable kayak but it’s slow and tiresome to maneuver in wind. Most of my videos are in my little 11’ Jackson Kilroy. It’s a sit inside kayak and maybe 30” wide but you sit lower in it so it still feels stable. I prefer the Kilroy unless I look at Windfinder and think I’m going to have issues with white caps from the bay coming in the kayak with me. The Kilroy won’t self drain like a regular sit on top Kayak, so if I take a wave over the side or bow that water stays with me until I manually bail it out. When it seems dangerous I’ll opt for the Big rig, even though I don’t fish as well out of it. If you can find a Kilroy locally I recommend you pick one up. They are great kayaks. Thanks for checking out the video!

Awesome 👍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Man thats awesome you made it out there. I've seen some wild species off that rock point. Another solid video buddy, good job!
Thank you, it’s a little bit of a run for sure. Always loaded with fish unless it’s a winter time negative tide.
Nice work around those rocks. Very cool.
Excellent video.
And dinner!!
Good luck ahead.
Thank you, those rocks can hold nice ones as long as it's smooth enough to fish them. Thanks for checking out the video!
Yessir
Thanks for the support Braylen!

What brand and size kayak are you using?
