Overnight on an Island in a $200 Walmart Kayak

Ойын-сауық

Stopped at Walmart on my way north and picked up their cheapest kayak. Took said kayak into the ocean and found a rather comfortable island to spend the night on.

    Hey Matt, I have that same cheap Kayak that I used to take out on the ocean fishing and crabbing, I developed similar scratches on the bottom rear as in your video and thought it was okay, then one day I was about 2 miles out of Santa Cruz and realized I was sinking. It was leaking from those little scratches, I barely made it back to land after struggling to paddle a water laden kayak and frequent stops bailing the hull with a gatorade bottle. I ditched it and bought a real ocean worthy Hobie outback kayak. So be safe my Brother!

Now that I'm in the same industry I realize it takes a lot of time, dedication and consistent uploading. So hopefully one day I can make it like you. I've learned so much about fishing throughout the years watching you fish. You didn't just inspire me and I'm sure load of other people but you always remain calm collective and very humble. Stay fishing -Johnny.

That's som nice looking lunch man,,,ah and you threw him back. lol I think that seal is getting a good laugh. He's not even hanging around. There ya go. Looks like YUM! Great video...... so I gotta tell you... I"m 75, still kayak but take the easy roads now due to a health issue. I really appreciate you taking me on these adventures I can no longer do. Thank you so much. You're sharing more than a youtube video. Hope you and your wife have a fantastic 2023.
