Good Luck With Your New Ride
Fishing from a kayak is a lot of fun. I don't know about you, but my problem is, and always has been, transporting it to the water. (cartopping) At my age I just don't have the strength anymore to heave the yak up on top of a SUV. I have a real low use Malibu Mini-X that has been peacefully sleeping the the garage for the last 8 years or so. I know Thule has some lifters that would probably work, but the real answer would be a small pickup truck. I have seen some recent mods I would do to add a seat that would get me high enough to eliminate "wrinkle butt", and the Mini-X has a terrific beam so the chances of rolling it are slim. I bought it for small water and it is perfect for that. What approaches would anyone consider to ease transport? I don't mean to hijack this thread, so if the Mod would like to move it no problem. I'm just thinking that a new kayak fisherman may be facing the same problem. They are a blast to fish with, and can get you to some really nice unwadeable water where the fish don't see many fishermen.
Good luck with your fishing adventures!
