Any idea why they tend to stay away from the vittles?

Idk.  It's just something I observed from watching yak fishing vids from HI.  I hear they even paint them to be the same color as the kayak to keep it "stealthy".   

Maybe they just don't want to share their live bait with others nearby.

Come on you guys...really? Trying to hide the live bait?

I am going to jump on the R.H.'er band wagon and say it's about the wind and keeping the weight low. LP is the way to roll in a yak!

Never fished from a kayak in HI but have been and fished there (and may have stayed in a Holiday Inn at some point).

Cheers,

Michael

call me confused ... everybody has a small worthless bait tank and yet every episode makes a point of the fact that people are out of live bait ...I thought  basic fishing 101-A stated " keep bait healthy and bring way more than you need" .... I thought the lack of bait  was part of the TV drama not a lack of ability build a decent bait tank ...I do not think  building a larger low profile bait tank that provides enough bait would be that difficult...

My method is a bit more expensive but is ultra light ...this pack runs my Lowrance DSI 5 color all day with the back light on 8....

I hope you realize that this battery is rated at 20a @ 3.7v only. It contains a single Lipo cell battery. Total power=74watt. Cost = $80. That's $1.08/watt.
This battery is $25. 4 cell Lipo. 14.8v @ 5a... http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__15521__Turnigy_5000mAh_4S1P_14_8v_20C_Hardcase_Pack.html
Total power=74watt. That's $0.33/watt.

Besides cost, if you're running 12v out of the Anker, it has to boost from 3.7v to 12v. Roughly 10% efficiency lost in the boost circuit is typical, meaning you will get ~66.6watt from your battery. Where as, if you're powering the your FF directly from the 4 cell Lipo, all power goes directly to the FF. You lose nothing.

Just saying.

I do not understand  electronics and the money is not important  but I can run my lowrance all day with a batt that is ultra light  that is what i care about .

Well congrats and that sucks ...I get it I lived outside of Butte for about a year in my younger 20s ,,,something about that big sky behind the whore on the hill thats still fresh in my memories.....good luck

  Watching tonight's show, 10/30 I just watched a guy head in to chase  another "Captain Jon Jon " off the beach, told him to pack his shit and leave! WTF? "Ooooh I'm gonna be but hurt if you fish the same waters" that's BS! 
   Do you own the beach and waters? I don 't think so. That guy, doing that put a bad taste on the show for me.

I feel like if someone paddled in and ask/told me I could not fish in the ocean  I would laugh in that face and ask you if you are stupid or something ?? Then i would fish his spot for the rest of the day..
