For those interested to know how to attach their W kayaks to the truck bed of their pickup trucks Jeff created this 1 minute video clip, in which he shows and explains how he does it:
Thanks Jeff!
This is a picture of Jeff’s new 2008 F2 Model W Fishing Kayak, fully rigged for fishing:
The rigging includes an the anchor trolley on the side, a milk crate with a battery of three rod holders, and Jeff’s new DIY paddle holders. Note one of the two flush mount rod holders that holds the fishing net’s handle.
You may be asking yourself “What about a fish finder?” Well, Jeff is the kind of kayak fisherman who prefers to use his knowledge and instincts rather than electronics. -”I don’t use electronics too much because the depth can be checked with my paddle. In some cases I actually see the fish before they see me. Kayak fishing like it was years back in my canoe allows me to slip into the areas the fish are holding without alerting them to any danger. So long as you keep as silent as you can and watch your shadow on the water fish will keep tight to the area they are feeding in.” he explains.
And by the way, as a dedicated sportsman that he is, Jeff practices ‘catch and release’ unless he has instructions to bring a particular type of fish back home for dinner…
Jeff drags his W fishing kayak on sand, pebbles, gravel, dirt and grass with all the gear still in place, and since the W Fishing Kayak is a true ‘Toss’n Go’ boat, Jeff simply hauls it onto his pickup’s truck bed, attaches it, and drives away.
It saves him a lot of time and work…
