I spent a lot of time out on the water in the kayak this past year. Dave & Paul thank you so much for the good insight on what not to do and what to do.
So i have decided to re think the way i set up my yak, i never made anything permanent till i could see how i like it, most of the time it was spot on, but always room for improvements. I still don't use a crate to store gear. Dave & Paul you had it correct with KISS Keep It Simple Stupid. If i go out for a specific species i bring that type of gear. lunch and ice tea is in the back of the yak so plenty of space.
Look forward to going back out in the spring for some Stripers.
With any luck this year i will be able to hook up with some people on the forum and go out.
Have a great season everyone.
