FrogTastic Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Hey all, I was wondering what you all keep in your kayak. Like, tools, random gear, and all of your fishing gear, plus your kayak and any customizations/mods you've done to it. I've kayaked before plenty of times, just never fished from one though. Have paddleboard fished though... that's an experience Quote
Team_Dougherty Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I usually have my Rod, a couple of plano boxes, something to cut braid with, life jacket, occasional 3 yeard old, and a cooler. I carry the minimum when I kayak fish. 2 Quote
Turtle135 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 1. Humminbird 346c DI Fish Finder 2. Yakattack ParkNPole 6' Stakeout Pole (this actually helped me win a tournament last year as most of my competitors were getting blown all over the place by strong wind) 3. Milk crate with lid (for all my tackle) with 5 rod holders 4. 5 pound anchor, anchor line on a float, with a quick release Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted April 24, 2015 Super User Posted April 24, 2015 Rods Crate with tackle Fish Finder Stake out pole Pliers, scissors and lip grips Some food maybe Anchor occasionally Paddle PFD Cell Phone that's pretty much it.... 1 Quote
MikeinFresno Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 add a game clip for fish, floating bait bucket if fishing with live bait, lip grips, net...I carry my boxes just like in photos above when using my OK T13....now have a Hobie and still working that all out Quote

Super User the reel ess Posted April 25, 2015 Super User Posted April 25, 2015 Milk crate with 3 rod holders. It has one more built-in, so that's 4 rods. Maybe one Plano 3700 box-I have 4 rods on the kayak so I'm probably covered or I can paddle back to the launch. A few bags of whatever soft plastics I think might work. A Playmate cooler if I think I want to take some home. A beer or two, a paddle and me. Oh...and pliers and clippers. If I remember. I dropped a pair of pliers last time out. Quote
atcoha Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 I have 2 Jackson cruise 12 kayaks Both set up the same, almost. Anchor trolleys, anchor, park-n-pole, 2 different rod holders, fish grip, net, paddle, black pack, several plano boxes with assorted stuff, how many depends on fresh or saltwater, PFD is a must! I keep stuff in there too. Always have a knife on me, everywhere. I usually take 2 rods when inshore, sometimes 3 if I am trolling. My phone in one of those waterproof pouch thingies. 2 pairs of pliers, long and short, and kickin bass, megastrike, or procure scents. Quote
Big C Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Do you use one with pedals? No, I just forget it half the time. 1 Quote
KayakKid Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Milk crate with all my tackle and 4 rod holders with rods Homemade bow mounted trolling motor Homemade rudder system for the stern of my yak Paddle Life jacket Anchor LOTS OF FOOD!!!! Lowrance 4-HDI Pliers, tools, and another rod holder up front Dry box with my wallet, phone etc With all of these things on my kayak it gets really congested (especially being a SIK), so I really only have about 6 or 7 of the items on my kayak at one time. It all depending on the conditions and where I will be fishing and stuff like that. Quote
Spcvicar Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Being retired (permanent hooky from work) I bought the Hobie pro angler T17...First one in Canada. I put in a few things that were mandatory PFD Paddle new vantage seating is awesome Lowrance Elite 5 with chirp, chart plotting anchor trolley anchor clip to clip to branch etc.(good idea) working on the milkcrate concept.... don't think there is room behind back seat (going tandem) but definitely when out single. lots of storage without it but they are nice and convenient compass lights and safety flag bailer, whistle, safety rope by law still dreaming any suggestions are graciously accepted. the captain can be found out fishing.... any time the Admiral lets the fleet out.
