There are certain things that I take for granted because I have been doing this for so long. I received a request to do a video on how to launch a fishing kayak about ten times in less than a week so I figured it was a topic that yall wanted to see in a video so here you go.

New subscriber here sir, I’m also in TN near Murfreesboro. How do you like the Ss127? I’m looking at one now. Had the Feel Free Seastream 120 came up with 2 cracks so they warranted it out. Now looking for something stable and durable.
Solid video, Chad! However, the hardest part of kayak fishing is the LOADING to return home. Getting a YAK off a trailer or truck bed is going downward. Can you shoot a lesson video out that offers tips on loading into a truck bed for the return trip? I have an ATAK140 and a Solo Skiff and the skiff, at 150 lbs is a little challenging to get into the truck at 63 years old. Keep puttin out the good work my friend!
If was to go to all that trouble to launch a kayak I would get a jon boat, sorry bout that!!
So…I’m guessing you just dragged your boat after you moved your truck to the water?!? Cause the whole vid was about launching it and you skipped that part. Was hoping to see something on carts or something guess not.
Seriously? Just saw your video here and think you’re a total assho** on your comments about being entertained about baby ducks being eaten by bass.
i auctually had the front pointed out towards the water and tried to push myself in got stuck on the keel wobling left and right my bad thankyou Chad for your help i can now launch my kayak thankyou again
What if you have a trolling motor that’s not adjustable ?
Overall a very cool boat. Wanted a sit on top so I waited until I found this deal!
My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!
Thank you, Chad. But seriously, mnfg don't want to lose sales. So they will tell you they are working on it, and then try to forget you ever talked with them. Any updates????
Thanks so much for the info and love your kayak set up,simple and to the point.
Can you tell me about the trailer shown in vid? THANKS NICE VID.
I back my trailer right in the water and deploy the yak. I don't need to get out of the way of bigger boats. They can wait their turn like everyone else does.
No baby ducks got injured in the making of this video….oh wait!
What kind of kayak is that ?
He actuall gets to the launching at 7:30 you're welcome
So…how did you get the kayak to the water after you unloaded from trailer? Did you drag it on that rough concrete? Or did your camera guy help carry it to the water? If you dragged it how hard is that on the bottom? Also, what if you are launching from a dock? Any tips on getting on and off kayak at a dock? Thanks for all the great content you produce!
Training, Training, Training, Training, Training, Training, Training, Training, Training, Training, Training, ….
I'm 60+ and I load my kayaks in and out of the bed of my truck
Anybody else notice the banded goose?
I love that trailer !
Thanks good guy
Tell me about your trailer
That kayak trailer is awesome! Where can I find one?
Great instructional video Chad. Yep i'm that guy that ended up in the water just trying to get out of my kayak. Totally lost my footing and just kept back peddling it until yep you guessed it, splash, lucky for me it was a hot day and was kind of refreshing. Your video has given me a better approach as to the proper way to exit a kayak. And of course we all did have a good laugh about it.
Nice vid! Getting in and out from the side with the kayak is probably the best way to get in/out of a kayak. I have pulled the front straight into the bank before and walk off. Really wobbly, but the other people at the dock will get a good laugh if you do it that way.. haha
Hey Chad.
Do you have a video on launching a kayak from a steep bank in deep water? I am in Eastern NC and a lot of our creeks have basically deep shore lines and you can not anchor your kayak next to the shoreline like you do in this video. I'm a BIG Dude and I use the Jackson Big Rig. Can you help?
He should have shown how he got it to the water. Did he drag it? or did he have the camera person help lift it. Solo kayakers I'm sure have a much harder problem. Great video though.
oh i was looking for a kayak video not a small warship
Genius
Awesome… me being a member of the "NOT twig man" club appreciate the info. But what I really love is your trailer! PLEASE tell me you made it and it didn't cost $3,546.00 ! Thanks.
Do you have a website where I can buy a trailer exactly like the one shown in this video? U.S. Army, Ret. TX
I will have a kayak this year. Just got into fishing and I absolutely love it.
Personally I think carting to the water should be an implemented rule. Too many guys try to trailer launch, and eventually it's going to cause an injury at one of the larger events with small ramps. Not only that 3-4 guys can launch by carting vs the one dude taking up the entire launch area. Not saying trailering should go away either, but park like everyone else, prep, and make your way to the water… Unless they're Handicap, or are incapable for other reasons to cart, I'd understand the use of trailer in that case, this would be a simple thing to follow.
I love little baby ducks, wait that sounds disturbing to
I would absolutely love to see a reentry in your kayak by you! in deep water! Lol! I'm a big guy as well and wouldn't attempt it.
Anyone with least bit of intelligence would know that the reasoning behind the duck thing is to see how many people would comment on it. Nice job!
This big lad needs a life jacket
You didn't show us how you got the kayak from dry land to the waters edge. Did you levitate it?
@7:40, how does the kayak get into the water from the side of the boat ramp?
Been looking for a new anchor and was wondering what weight downrigger ball you use on yours?
Great video I need a trailer like yours
Hey man, your content is pure gold! I just bought a kayak yesterday and I’ve avoided her maiden voyage because I was afraid to ask anyone how to launch. I appreciate you!
I remember seeing a bass eat a little duckling as a kid. Felt like I was in jurassic park
Hello
Very nice video! Thanks. Can i ask you where you got your trailer? Thanks a lot
Great video and thank you for your hard work. May I ask about that trailer in this video. It looks great for me what is it?
Thank you
