Good intermediate information. This is a well done video. I think there could have been more information on rigging and working with different kayak configurations, but the info given is valuable.
I think there could have more time spent on interepting fish finder readings, and less time on "how to catch bait". Maybe a little more time reviewing the pros and cons of the various baitholding types, ie: Live wells and bait tubes, instead of just praising the plano bait bucket.
A little more time on surf launches, and more importantly, landings would be useful. As would some detail regarding the applications of "ball bouncing", "carolina rigging", "drop shotting", correct time to use a "reverse dropper loop", "fly lining" and "tossing irons".
I've made a few suggestions as far as what I would like to have seen. I do realize this would have made the video a bit longer, or maybe a reason to make "The Kayak Fishing Video Advanced".
Overall this is a very good video to get, even if you only watch it in the colder months. The quality of the audio/video is very good, and the only reason I didn't give a 5 was because a 5 would have been perfection.
You have to hand it to Spike, that man is living a life most of us can only hope for.
Not as expected I am very disappointed in this DVD. I did not see anything in the advertisement that said it was salt water reel fishing only. I was specifically looking for a general DVD on flyfishing and kayaking.
Naturally, I can't return it under Amazon policy. Shame on you Amazon for false advertising.
Good over all... It's a good starter film, They could have spent more time on kayak handeling going in and out of surf with fishing gear but overall it was a great movie.
Great DVD Mr. Spikes DVD was great! I was amazed at the amount of information crammed into this DVD. It offers a little something about ever aspect of Kayak fishing.
Great kayak fishing instruction Dennis Spike's Kayak Fishing Video gives the entering kayakfisherman a valuable set of nuts and bolts to put together their own entry into the sport of kayak fishing. Great "hands on" demonstration and basic instruction of how to get out there and do it, especially in the surf.
