Here’s a new article called Wheels for Fishing Kayak Transportation.
It summarizes various rigging projects that we know about in this field, thanks to W kayak anglers who’ve contributed their creativity, insight and pictures…
Donavan Campbell is a W kayak stream fisherman from North Carolina, who contributed a fishing kayak review of his W300.
His wheel system offers the advantages of being low-cost, simple, easy to make, and lightweight for carrying on board. It’s all-terrain, and easy to attach to the kayak.
-”Wanted to pass along pictures of the wheel system my dad and I created for the W300.
We utilized a 1/2″ aluminum tube as an axle inside a 3/4″ aluminum tube, attached plastic wheels and mounted (drilled through both tubes) aluminum shelf brackets as guides and as a place to attach the bungee.
Important thing to me was keeping the weight to a minimum (complete set weighs about 3lbs) because when you river fish, where you put in is not where you get out; the wheel system goes with you.
Additionally no ball bearings or anything that would rust as the wheel spins on a plastic bushing, the axle does not turn.
Has proven to be very stable and quick to attach and detach. Everything was purchased at Lowes Hardware for little less than $50.
No problem maneuvering any terrain now.
I imagine in a couple of years the plastic bushings and wheel will need to be replaced but this is a minimal investment. Hope someone finds this helpful.

Doug had already contributed a short review of his W300 fishing kayak:
-”Just came in from a couple hours in the inlet after work — 1 14# bass. Got a 30 and a 16 last Sat night. I don’t fish from it too often; I might throw a swimmer out on my way to and fro. For the season so far I have around 75 bass over 10#/30″. I’m running second place in the season long New York Surf Fishing contest. I’m totally satisfied with the Wavewalk. If I wreck this one somehow I’ll order another within a week. It gets me access to good fishing areas and it gets me away from the crowds. Only ‘problem’ is I put a couple pretty deep gouges on the bottom while fishing in mussel beds and around rock jetties –

Now Doug sent us some pictures of a special kayak trolley he got for it:
Says Doug:
-”Here are some photos of a cart special made by paddlecart.com I use it all the time. Works over rough terrain, rocks, down embankments,etc”
-”Attached is the drawing I sent to Paddlecart in case users inquire” :
Jesse got his W300 fishing kayak in January. He fishes mainly in the ocean near San Diego, in the harbor and in the lagoon. In this short cellphone movie Jesse is showing a 6 lbs spotfin croaker he caught:
Here is a collection of fish Jesse caught on another good day, including (top) a sand bass and (bottom) another 6 lbs spotfin croaker.
Jesse mounted a trolling motor on his W300, and he gets to speeds up to 10 mph with it. This picture shows the transom mount Jesse built:
Jesse also rigged his W300 fishing kayak with carry wheels: Sometimes Jesse takes his dog for a ride in his kayak:
Jesse likes to paddle his W300 standing up, and fish standing as well. Jesse also likes to fish for halibut. His favorite lures are Berkley Gulp Alive, and he recommends smearing the lures with Uni Butter (sea-urchin flavored butter) that attracts fish better than anything, both in saltwater and freshwater.
Jesse is the owner of the Five Star Pool & Spa Service for care of aquatic systems.
Continued from John’s first review of his motorized W500 fishing kayak
-Just caught the second or third biggest bass I’ve ever caught (a little over 3 lbs). For me that’s a big bass! So maybe investing in a fishfinder was a good idea. Unfortunately I didn’t have a camera with me so no one’s going to believe me 
I also caught it on a beat-up, 1950′s lure called a “Flatfish” that I resurrected from an my old tackle box. The action of the lure is so outstanding that I’m trying to buy more of these obsolete lures.
Also enclosed a few photos showing my new reel style trolling motor crank and fishfinder, my crossed cable TM steering system and a detail shot of the flip-over wheel attachment cable connector (uses existing carry handle screw) and of course, the Flatfish.
Wayne Taylor from Florida, has a 2007 of the W300 fishing kayak that he rigged with oars and DIY outriggers.
This time, Wayne created a set of wheels for his fishing kayak:
-”I have made a transporter for my wavewalk when I need one.
I took an old hand truck, cut its handle, base and wheels off, and rotated the wheels with the braces re-welded into position. I also added to eye bolts and bought a wench ratchet strap, and repainted same. It works beautifully better than I thought it would.”
