I would not have gone out in 40mph gusts. Weather determines "whether" I go out or not.

I just use a couple of plano lure boxes. I ditched the crate because I found myself bringing more stuff than i actually used only because I had a spot for it. Two rods, two lure boxes and my small cooler to keep my bee... water cold.

Flounder Pounder. I mainly target flat fish so it seemed appropriate.

New to kayak fishing organize tackle
HeyDace replied to Mv87's topic in Kayaking and Kayak Fishing Forum
I just use Plano boxes with a select few lures and tackle. I was over packing due to the milk crate and my yak was heavier because of it. I usually take two rods but no more. Keep it simple, keep it light. My avatar was when I first had my yak. I don't do the crate anymore. -

Car topping heavy kayaks
HeyDace replied to fishfinder401's topic in Kayaking and Kayak Fishing Forum
I use a bath mat. Got in trouble with the wife but it works awesome. I have chev Equinox and I place the mat on the rear visor set the yak on it and it slides up onto the saddles like butter. Bath mat costs me as ass chewing but that was it. -

Tips for a new Kayak Owner?
HeyDace replied to ThrowinPlugs's topic in Kayaking and Kayak Fishing Forum
Most definitely. When I started out I carried everything that was ever suggested to me. Over the seasons I packed less and less. Guess I didn't need that portable propane grill, although I kept the battery operated blender for Margheritas. Safety equipment (life jacket, whistle or horn attached to vest, water proof flashlight...etc.) A couple rods depending on what I'm targeting that day, a small 12 pack cooler for water (and such), a burlap bag for my catch. I just keep it wet. I'm sure people will add or subtract from this. Its all mostly preference I guess. I stopped using the crate. -
How do you store tackle on your yak?
HeyDace replied to Jcb3030's topic in Kayaking and Kayak Fishing Forum
I just use plain compartmented boxes, the clear plastic ones they sell at HFT. I drill a hole to tie a lanyard to them in case I turtle. -
Who carries and uses a net?
HeyDace replied to jeffreyrichard's topic in Kayaking and Kayak Fishing Forum
Short handled net I got at Dick's which I use for trout and flatties. If I catch a blue fish I just scream like a little girl and make my buddy land it. -
I kinda fished for Fluke last summer, kinda half assed also. This year I'm making a concerted effort to target them. I remember going out as a kid and you would be walking on top of them in the boat. I thought of hitting Boston Harbor this month for Winter Flounder but its still to chilly for me. I'll be using bucktail jigs and strips of bait fish or Gulp. Will be fishing out of my yak. Any thoughts on Quincy Harbor or Weymouth?

My first fishing kayak (build thread)
HeyDace replied to JBMagi's topic in Kayaking and Kayak Fishing Forum
Thats a lot of stuff on a yak. I started out like that, everything including the kitchen sink. But soon found it to be a pain in the ass, packing and unpacking and the added weight. Even the simple milk crate was giving me problems as it acted like a sail on windy days. Now I just go out with my safety equipment, a couple rods, a cooler for water and food and a plastic case for lures and such. Much much happier. -
This is true but my main goal is to charge it as I use it. That would eliminate the need to charge before I go out and give me access to constant power. Not to mention the power to run my 12 volt marine blender for Margaritas. Maybe even a portable 12v juke box... LOL
