The quick answer is you can’t, it’s not possible to take all of that with you, as there simply isn’t room. Yes you are way over armed, but hey, why not take all your toys with you on every trip – you know, just in case? Where are you heading? Just to those worm beds less than 1000m from the ramp for a spot of bait fishing on anchor targeting snapper for the dinner plate. Rods and other items can be lost over the side ten different ways if not secured correctly. So when you head off for a day’s fishing, out it all comes and gets loaded on to the boat, a couple of large tackle boxes, with at least half a dozen rods and reels as a minimum! You never know when that jigging rod, lightweight softbait rod, new slow pitch combo, or even that old glass trolling rod will be needed. Don’t let these full on rigs put you off giving kayak fishing a go, you don’t need to take more gear than your local tackle store stocks just to head out for a feed gathering mission – keep it simple.įishos are all very attracted to the latest shiny new tackle and over time many of us end up with lots of rods, reels and tackle for every possible occasion, species, and fishing technique - but does it all need to go out with us each and every time we go fishing?įor many fishing out of boats and some on kayaks, we do take it all out.

Multiple appendages stick out all over the kayak, pieces of rope and bungee every where, hatches spotted all over the kayak, enough electronics to require a small power station to supply enough power and so many rods they start to resemble hedgehogs rather than a kayak. ![]()
