Jeff’s Reflections Following a Kayak Fishing Trip to Pellicer, Florida

-”I was out yesterday much closer to home over at Pellicer. I was by myself and had quite bit of time to reflect on the W kayak and just how well it does work for fishing.
It was raining yesterday and of course you have to be able to keep some items dry. Having those 2 Rubbermaid trash cans one on each side in front of me is ideal. They slide very easily out of the way and in fact deep enough in you can still tuck up into the bow with your knees in the hulls to fight larger fish.

Between the two cans I have all the tackle I need plus drinks, snacks, and assorted tools.

When I transport the boat I put both cans into one hull still out of the rain by the way. The other hull gets the paddle, stakeout pole, net, etc.

I’ll have to do another short video of moving those cans around. I think the only place I really moved one was in that rigging one months back.
Dragging the W kayak is so much easier than any other paddle craft. Yesterday I had lots of dragging over sand bars to get where I wanted. Most kayaks or canoes are horrible to drag. Way too much hull contact and then they tip around throwing your gear all over. Also retry into deeper sections is easy. Just hop in at the edge and tip you way into the water then off you go. Kind of like the ice paddling movie.

And since this blog is about fun, here’s the movie that Jeff mentioned:

Dragging a Fully Loaded Fishing Kayak to the Beach

Unless you live in a waterfornt property you need to get your fishing kayak and gear form your car to the launching spot, and back.

It can’t be easier and simpler than doing it with a Wavewalk fishing kayak: Just toss your gear and tackle inside, grab the carrying handles, and drag it on practically any surface except concrete and asphalt pavement…

It’s as easy as it gets, and as Jeff points out – you really don’t want to have to carry a kayak trolley on board if there’s another solution.
