  1. I picked up mine and all you need is the QR code for them to scan, no registration needed.
  2. 3" pipe would not fit between the mounts for the old wooden bunks that I reused plus I the 2" PVC is plenty strong enough and contours to the hull shape better.
  3. I completed the project last week. I ended up removing the wood bunks and replaced them with 2" electrical pvc conduit. I used the bunk mounts to mount the pvc in the front and rear of the trailer. The pvc bends ands forms to match the shape of the hull perfectly. I centered my fishing kayak in the center of the trailer and luckily there was enough space on the right and left sides that I can also haul two other smaller sit in kayaks on their sides and a third mounted upside down on top of the fishing kayak if needed. I added another piece of pcv pipe running perpendicular under the other pvc pipes near the front of the trailer. This let's the other two side mounts kayaks have something to rest on. I mounted that pipe using a u clamp and remove it when only hauling the one kayak. I think this setup is going to work perfectly for me.
  4. I have a Sedona and haven't had any issues with it.
  5. I picked up a used jet ski trailer over the weekend that I intend to repurpose into a kayak trailer. I know there are lots of videos and posts about people doing this but I was wondering if anyone has done this and if they have is there anything they would have done differently? I'm planning on replacing the wooden bunks with 2" electrical PVC since it has the flex needed to contour the to the hull shape. Any ideas or tips are greatly appreciated.
  6. I'm in!!! Thanks for doing this!
  7. Lots of great info in this thread! Thanks to all who responded to my question.
  8. Thanks, I appreciate all the help/ideas!
  9. So would the best practice be to weight the hook and swivel and then replace with the closest possible weight?
  10. I was having a lot of success fishing a Tsunami 6" wooden Danny (FNS6-BKP) the other day. The bass were aggressively hitting the plug. The plug has two treble hooks and a single tail hook. I would like to switch out the treble hooks for singles but can't figure out what size. I tried to search for infonon replacements on this lure but couldn't find any info. Anyone have any suggestions?
  11. Took the kayak out last night in one of the rivers in MoCo. Tons of bait around but nothing was on the bait. Didn't mark any fish on my Lowrance nor did I see any fish bust on the bait. Water temp was 76.2 so I think we need it to cool off to get things going.
  12. I read that when moving against strong tides or currents that the fin type drives don't work as well as the prop drives because of all the surface area of the fins. Did you notice this to be true?
  13. There are a few rivers and lakes here in NJ that have pike. It is a blast floating the rivers in my kayak catching pike on a fly. I have multiple up to 39.5" and can't wait to break that 40" mark. With all the angler pressure in NJ and not many throwing flies at pike I feel it gives me an advantage. The pike aggressively attack large streamers using a simple strip-strip-pause retrieve.
