Fun King Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I got a Shurhold bucket with padded top and rubber base. I added some stick on Velcro to hold my Yeti pouch and cut some slots in the rim to hold a Yeti cup holder and rod holder. I modified the rod holder with some 1" aluminum to serve as a paddle holder. The bungees don't work very well, I will probably go to straps for hold downs. It's no better than a cooler, just easier to carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltfisherman Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I like that. Very inventive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun King Posted July 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 To keep my fly rod under control when paddling I placed this small piece of pool noodle under the front carry handle. Works great Where R All The Fish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindAndWater Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Cool. For my Isle surfboard style SUP I just use a gecko brand waterproof backpack. That way I don’t have to strap anything down on my SUP. For you guys seriously interested in SUP fishing, I would suggest you take a look at the L2 Fish. It’s an incredible fishing platform. The speed and stability — nothing else comes close to it. I ride up and down on 3’ to 5’ swells like an elevator. No rocking back and forth. I use an engel dry box for that SUP. ridenfish 1 (*member previously known as 'SoCalStripers') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindAndWater Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Yep, Lexa 400hd. Gotten a few yellowfin on it in the 20 pound range. It’s a great reel. Stands up to the salt very well with minimal maintenance. (*member previously known as 'SoCalStripers') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun King Posted July 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 I ordered a L2F, can't wait for it to arrive. How does it do without the fins? How does it do in wind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun King Posted August 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Got it! I'm afraid to use it, it's so pretty! I'm wondering about keel guards or something to protect the shiny finish. So far, it's kind of awkward to handle around the car and garage, there are no handles or anywhere to conveniently grab it except for the center strap. The Yak attack rails are nice but I've bought about $100 worth of fittings so far. I'll probably splash it this weekend. Africaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just carry mine around using the center strap. That definitely can get tiring especially when you have to carry it 100+ yards sometimes. Some people use those hobie wheeleez beach carts I believe. I think Live Watersports just started a facebook members' group so that might be a good place to ask more questions about anything.

I was between the L2 and the Bote Rackham, ended up going with the Bote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
