Bassman Strikes Kayak Fishing

Wisconsin Summer Topwater Kayak Bass Fishing with a Sixth Sense Speed Wake and The Native Falcon 11 #nativewatercraft #nativefalcon11 #motorizedkayaks In this episode I had met up with Hernan from Hernan's Reel Game YouTube Channel for some summertime topwater Largemouth Bass Action at a Southeast Wisconsin Lake. I was using the Native Falcon 11 Kayak as it's easier to get around to these remote locations.

Motorized Remote Control ESC PWM Throttle Native Falcon 11 Walk Thru #nativewatercraft #nativefalcon11 #motorizedkayaks In this video I walk you thru the mods I have done to my Native Falcon 11 Kayak. I also want to recognize Mike Jordan and others for the ideas using the Rock Crawler ESC to remote control the Watersnake trolling motor.

*****WARNING COULD BE CONSIDERED GRAPHIC BY SOME***** #nativefalcon11 #nativewatercraft #kayakpikefishing While kayak fishing for pike in my Native Watercraft Falcon 11 a thrashing pike escaped my grasp while I was unhooking it and the crankbait treble hooks got me in the leg. Luckily the hook went most of the way thru and I was able to extract it by pushing it the rest of the way so the barb was exposed and then I snipped it off and it came right out. This is the 3rd time in 5 years that I have been hooked :-)

Kayak Fishing Delavan Lake for Bass and Pike using ned rigs and wake baits and the trolling motor What's up YouTube and Rumble Bassman Strikes here. I had met up with Hernan from Hernan's Reel Game YouTube channel and we were checking out Delavan lake prior to a tournament Hernan might be fishing at the end of April. Prior to leaving it was dead calm in the Milwaukee area and when we arrived at the lake it was super windy with lots of chop. All the big bass boats were avoiding the main lake and were all in the protected coves and marinas. We checked out one Marina and then went into the creek that was to the right of the launch and did manage to catch a decent pike. This was also the first time I used the Minn Kota trolling motor in a lake, last 3 times I used it in a river. Keep watching to see the Pike and a Bass that wasn't caught.

#nativefalcon11 #nativewatercraft I went to the river after work and got skunked but I did manage to capture something. This was mostly a shake down trip for the Native Falcon 11 which is going to be my throw and go boat for rivers with really rustic launches and walk in/carry on only lakes.

Kayak Fishing the Fox River in Southeast Wisconsin for White Bass and Smallmouth using paddle tail grubs. In this video I used the Native Watercraft Slayer Max 12.5 to kayak fish the Fox river for White bass and smallmouth bass. It's a bit early for the White Bass but there was a few heading up river. This is also the first time I used the trolling motor and it worked great, I didn't even use the propel drive(pedal). The water level on the river was really low so launching and landing the kayak was a extreme chore as the concrete ended before the water and I had to roll the kayak over large rip rap. I also used a BFS (Bait Finesse System) to catch all the fish. BFS is essentially a ultra light bait casting reel and rod with a ultra shallow spool to allow the casting of very light lures like the small paddle tails I was using.

Short Native Slayer Max 12.5 overview of Power Pole and Trolling Motor Install. This is just a short bow to stern walk and talk ending with the work I am doing with the Power Pole Micro and Minn Kota 30lb trolling motor. The motor and Power pole will be powered by a 50ah LifePo4 battery that will be in the front hatch and controlled by a 100amp PWM (pulse width modulation)

Kayak Fishing during the Covid-19 Pandemic First Wave on Big Muskego Lake using Grubs and Wake baits!! #kayakfishing #vibekayaks #largemouthbass Bassman Strikes here and in todays video I had ventured out during the Pandemic First wave for a few hours of Kayak Fishing in the evening. Normally I go early in the morning but this year I went in the evening mostly to avoid the crowds but also because the pandemic had messed up my ability to get up early. After arriving there was about 20 people loading up kayaks and even more coming back to the launch. These were all pandemic kayakers who normally would not have bothered with kayaking or kayak fishing. It will be interesting to see if the added pressure has hurt the fishery one year later including many more people ice fishing. I ended up getting 2 decent bass and 3 small pike, the first pike was a super dink and didn't make the video. Kayak: Vibe SeaGhost 130 Camera: 2 Osmo Action cams

Many times when we are kayak fishing we catch other things than fish. It's not always about catching even if we get skunked there is always the opportunity to capture an amazing sunset or sunrise. I have collected together for you the best ones from 2018 through 2021. All the images are from Southeast Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Iron Mountain)

Maiden Voyage of my Slayer Max 12.5 Kayak Fishing Big Muskego Lake using a Strike King KVD Wake Bait A week earlier I had picked up my Slayer Max 12.5 from Moboevo in Oconomowoc Wisconsin and got it mostly ready for use. I had a lot of tweaks after this first trip like adjusting the front Camera angle, fixing the creaking seat with Gorilla Duct Tape and lubing the drive and breaking it in. The factory lube job on the drive was not the best and after a fresh lube and about 25 hours the drive settled in and is much quieter and smoother. I replaced a Vibe Shearwater 125 with this and could not be happier, the Shearwater had many issues including a poor rudder and steering system to accessory tracks that are too far forward. For 2021 I will be doing some updates including: 1. 30lb thrust stern mounted Trolling Motor with 50ah LifePO4 battery. 2. BerleyPro Steering Handle update 3. Micro Power Pole 4. One objective motor mount that allows the use of the motor and Power pole. Here is the link to Moboevo, the carry Native Watercraft as well as Vibe Kayaks. https://www.moboevo.com/

A lesson in futility kayak fishing the Menominee River at Faithhorn in an attempt to find some river smallmouth bass and Northern Pike. #smallmouth @smallmouthbass #nativewatercraft I was up in the Iron Mountain area this past October and had some grand plans of fishing the Menominee River for Smallmouth Bass and Pike unfortunately the river had other plans.... Camera used: DJI Osmo Action (1 front, 1 rear) Kayak: Native Slayer Max 12.5

#kayakpikefishing #pikefishing #nativewatercraft Kayak Pike Fishing Big Muskego Lake Part 2 (Southeast Wisconsin) during the October 2020 feedbag This video was shot at Big Muskego lake on October 21st 2020 and is part two of a two part episode. I caught so many fish that afternoon I had to separate it into two videos. Part 2 (this video) is all about the Pike, and Part one is about the bass: Link to Part 1: https://youtu.be/OnIGp2whnrI The bait of choice for the day was a combination of a MonsterBass swimbait and the excellent Creme Scoundrel worm. When the fish were being very active in the mid afternoon I was primarily using the swim bait and when it started to die down I switch over to the Creme Scoundrel Texas rigged with a 1/16 bullet weight

I landed this fish and it had a giant wound on it's back, at the time I had no idea but after doing a bit of research it appears to be a Cormorant bird bite. Leave a comment on what you think might have left a wound like this.

In this episode I give a update on what will be happening with Bassman Strikes in 2021 (after the ice and snow melt hahaha) and a short lure review from my Cabela's Visit.

Kayak pike and bass fishing; Halloween Pike Fest in Southeast Wisconsin #kayakbassfishing #wisconsinfishing #nativewatercraft In this episode I had met up with Hernan from Hernan's reel game YouTube channel on the afternoon of October 31st 2020 at a small southeast Wisconsin lake. Hernan's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/HSanti37 The day had started out super windy so we picked this lake because it's small size would minimize any wind issues. When we arrived at the lake it was pretty choppy so our choice turned out to be a good one. The day turned out to be a Pike fest and I landed 13 pike and 3 bass and that's not including the several pike I lost at the side of the boat. Due to the large number of fish caught this video will just cover the two best fish of each species. Most of the pike caught were not huge but it was a fun afternoon of pretty much constant action.

In this episode I fished Browns Lake in Burlington Wisconsin for the first time.

This video was shot at Big Muskego lake on October 21st 2020 and is part one of a two part episode. I caught so many fish that afternoon I had to separate it into two videos. Part one will concentrate on the bass I caught that day and part two will just be the Pike and it was a pike fest for sure. The bait of choice for the day was a combination of a MonsterBass swimbait and the excellent Creme Scoundrel worm. When the fish were being very active in the mid afternoon I was primarily using the swim bait and when it started to die down I switch over to the Creme Scoundrel Texas rigged with a 1/16 bullet weight.

Fighting Bass, Pike and the Wind on Big Muskego Lake; Kayak Bass Fishing with the Shearwater 125 The morning started off with the winds being mostly calm and by the time I was leaving it was extremely windy with 20 mph sustained winds with up to 30 mph gusts. The temp had fallen to 49 degrees overnight and the shallow water had cooled significantly and that did affect the fishing. the fish did eventually become active a bit later in the morning. I can honestly say the peddle drive made all the difference in the world fishing in the high winds, not having to fight the paddle was key to having some success.

Milwaukee River Kayak Bass Fishing I had hopped out of the kayak to do some wading and was casting a Red Craw Pattern Whopper Plopper 110 up river. The Milwaukee River water level and flow was way down and it was easy to wade and pull the kayak around.
