It was hosted by Trip Smith YouTube channel, a friend of mine. A 130 subscribers showed up to camp, paddle, and find their own adventures in the various local springs surrounding Florida Caverns State Park. We had a blast. This video and the previously uploaded video share those adventures. We explored caves, ate wild critters caught by hand, swung on rope swings into blue springs, use dive scooters, and more! In this video I tested the Sundolphin Boss 12ss. It is arguably one of the best buys for fishing kayaks. I also let my friend Jordan use my Body Glove inflatable paddleboard (Mariner). #rockadock #kayaking #camping

It is there I meet up with 130 other adventure seekers and paddle enthusiasts. Each day we independently chose a new waterway to paddle and sought out unique and exhilarating adventures. I dove into caves, caught a variety of animals, cooked up critters for meals, met new friends, and experienced a life I began to miss. This trip was about finding myself and the adventure enthusiast I felt slipping away. After leaving Marianna I felt re-energized and ready to hunt down my next great adventure. I have since come home, listed some things for sale, and plan to focus on training & acquiring skills to make my dreams of an adventure filled life come true. I refuse to clock in and out of everyday as a slave to mediocracy. I want to become better and experience new and exciting things. That is the life I want for myself and my family. RockADock helped teach me that.

Crystal Kayak Company On Amazon: https://amzn.to/2x5IZem Crystal Kayak Company Website: https://www.crystalkayak.com There are several companies producing transparent / clear kayaks. However, Crystal Kayak Company seems to have it figured out. They produce their kayaks with recycled aircraft windshields made from Lexan. This results in a highly durable kayak. The inner frame of the kayak is aluminum. Together these two materials make a kayak that is built to last. The Crystal Kayak Company's kayak has molded in highly pronounced keels for improved tracking and a flip down skeg at the stern. This sets them apart from several other manufacturers of clear kayaks. Rental companies and resorts will be able to attract more customers with unique kayaks like this. Day or night these kayaks will grab attention. Drop lights into the kayak and light up the surrounding water for a fun paddling experience. Want to go fishing? No problem, the aluminum inner rail is perfect for mounting accessories like rod holders to. If you are looking for a transparent kayak look no further.

When kayaking at night I want to have a light but bugs are a major pest. Because of that I wanted to build a light pole that worked as a camera pole for during the day. I searched for lights to use in the build and found this rechargeable bug zapper light that is IPx6 waterproof. The great thing about the light bug zapper I built is that I can swap the light for a camera & remove light for use by my tent or hammock during kayak camping on islands. The light has great battery life and could be charged from my solar usb battery setups. I especially like it to rid pesky insects that get into my tent or enclosed hammock. For kayaking it seems to do the job well and I have noticeably less insects flying around my head now. #camping #kayaking #canoeing

The dual fins provide shallow water access and easy shore landings by simply pushing one pedal forward.

Hands-free propulsion in any direction means better control: to cast, to present baits, and to concentrate on landing bigger fish when kayak fishing.

Guardian Transducer Shield Fishfinder is a valuable tool but the transducer mounted on the bottom of the kayak is in danger of damage.

To land and launch the kayak, pull a cord in the cockpit to manually retract the transducer.

Website: http://www.Kysek.com Shop Other Kayaks & Accessories: http://www.KayakDIY.com Kysek, a popular cooler company, acquired the business KC kayaks which were known for producing high end fishing and hunting kayaks. My friend Rex from ActionHat paddled a KC kayak for several years. I always thought his KC kayaks were nice. Kysek now rebranded the KC kayak and has since then made some refinements. The kayak is foam injected much like Kysek's coolers. This makes the hull stiffer, more stable to stand on, and ensures it won't likely sink even if capsized. The fit and finish of the K12 is very nice and has everything you need while nothing you don't need. The long tracks for the seat also double as points to add mounts like rod holders from all the popular brands (Scotty, YakAttack, Yakgear, Railblaza, Ram, etc). The rear of the K12 has a V-Lock transom mount that makes mounting a trolling motor easy. The kayak is even prewired for a trolling motor so you can keep your deck clean. #fishingkayak #huntingkayak #icast2018

The nutrient pollution is caused by fertilizers that run into Lake O. Sugar crop farms, commercial, & some residential properties are a big culprit of this pollution which has caused high phosphorus and nitrogen. The nutrition pollution has caused even normal red tide blooms (oct-feb) to go one for 10 months! The governor and state/federal departments need to get together and fix this mess. It has gone on for many years, but it is exponentially getting worse! Wildlife can't read signs saying "no swimming" and you can't tell us "don't breathe". We demand change and we need others to help share this story so the right people hear it. #Florida #NowOrNeverglades #Fishing

SHOP NATIVE TITANS BELOW http://bit.ly/Titan135 http://bit.ly/Titan120 http://bit.ly/Titan105 The Native Titan has a name which adequately reflects it's presence on the water. The Titan is a beast of a fishing kayak. However, despite it's large presence, Native's Propel pedal drive can make this nimble beast dance on the water. Native's Propel drive was "the first with reverse". You can easily transition between forward and reverse by changing the direction of your pedaling. Pedaling is like riding a bike.

SHOP KAKU VOODOO http://bit.ly/KakuVoodoo What is the Voodoo? We go over this in the video. We discuss how it isn't really a paddleboard and yet isn't a kayak either. It is a hybrid of both popular paddlecrafts. It is designed to have 5 powerpole mounting locations! The 5 powerpole mounts also make it easy to add accessories like trolling motors. The seat is very different than other fishing kayaks and boards. The seat is designed for standing on! This gives the board an ability to become an awesome sight casting platform. The Kaku Voodoo is certainly going to be a popular craft. I'm sure we will see many on the water around SWFL.

Website: http://www.vibekayaks.com Our Store: http://www.Amazon.com/Shop/KayakDIY Vibe Kayaks has been around for several years now and quickly has gained popularity through particularly it's SeaGhost 130 fishing kayak. Throughout social media I heard countless positive reviews on the kayak and the exceptional value of features for the price. Vibe has a lot of other phenomenal kayaks that you may or may not know of so this video goes through others that you might like. The Maverick SUP/Kayak hybrid is another gaining popularity in the fishing market. It features a hull that is unsinkable due to being foam injected. It is the Boston Whaler of kayaks in terms of reliability and fishability. The Yellowfin 130t has also been popular due to its ability to be paddled tandem or solo. Lastly, the Yellowfin 100 is a smaller 10ft throw and go kayak that caters well to anglers and has everything most kayak anglers would want but comes in at a competitive low price point. When I think of Vibe Kayaks I think exceptional value. #icast #icast2018 #kayaking #kayakfishing #kayak

WEBSITE: http://www.NINESoptics.com WHY I LOVE MY NINES: I'm not going to lie. For the longest time I bought cheap generic brand sunglasses from department stores and gas stations. However, I hated wearing them. Cheap gas station sunglasses gave everything a dull dark appearance, didn't look good on me, weren't durable, polarization and clarity sucked, and in the water they got spots all over thus limiting vision. I almost bought Costas just because of the name until a friend told me his COSTAS frame and nose piece fell apart. Then I went to iCAST and was on the hunt to see what sunglasses had the clearest lens & best features. I tried on COSTAS, SMITHS, MAUI JIMS, WILEY X, and NINES. I tried them on indoors and outdoors to see the difference. Immediately when putting on the NINES I felt that everything was more vibrant and colorful yet I wasn't squinting when facing the intense Florida sun. Other brands like COSTA seem to really dull colors in an effort to filter harmful rays. I noticed with Costas that when I looked towards the sun I lost clarity and color vibrance. NINES have a worldwide patent with their NIRTEC filters thus they don't need to reduce color vibrance to block the harmful rays like other brands do. NINES sunglasses get the name from the 9 filtering technologies incorporated into the lenses. They have 35% more clarity & protection than many competing brands discussed. So if you are shopping for a new pair of high quality sunglasses give NINES a try. My friends did after trying mine. So far my wife and I have wore our same NINES 2yrs and they look brand new. We wear them everyday. The same pair has been on me in nearly every video since I got them. I feel naked without them. This is a legit and honest review. I am not paid per sale of NINES sunglasses. I'm not saying buy these if you can't afford them. They run between $89 and $159. All I'm saying is if you already are looking for a high quality pair of sunglasses then check these out. I tried several brands and these were my top pick even before I saw the technology behind them. #sunglasses #newshades #icast2018

WEBSITE: http://www.TightlineAnchor.com Amazon Canada: https://amzn.to/2mJJo1m Amazon U.S: not yet available These anchors were at iCAST 2018. They were all over many of the new kayaks. A subscriber requested that I film Tightline Anchors and get you more info. The pricing of the anchors is listed on links above. These anchors are lightweight, corrosion resistants, durable anchors designed for paddlecrafts. However, they are now producing larger ones for power boats. The craftsmanship is top knotch and the product feels well made. Crazy that a 13oz little anchor can have a 650lb rating. #kayakfishing #icast2018 #kayaking
