Thanks for the explanation, I'm going to give this fish drying and preserving a try. Makes sense that it would concentrate the flavor and freeze better with less moisture in the meat.

Wow still has the little plastic feet on the kickstand, very few miles on that for sure!

Thanks for the pointer Al! What I don't understand from the picture is how the kayak is secured to the cart. Does it just sit on top or does it come with some cross straps?

As for the hobie wheels hack, I've seen some video, but still looked quite laborious to me, but given the price for a new cart, might be worth a shot 

You run a kayak tie down strap around one of the bars on one side over the top of your yak and around the same bar on the other side then connect and cinch the two ends on top.


Don't be fooled by others, get the one Al posted, I paid that same price over ten years ago and mine is still going strong. If you do this long in the end that's what your gonna get anyways!

Took me ten years to catch one legal Salmon, doubt I'll get another one in a two day window and if they're that threatened it seems kinda wrong. However given kayaks can launch many places it takes boats a fair bit of time to get to, the short window and boaters tendency to bunch up especially when going for salmon there is likely to be some ocean space left between the clumps of boats.

I have the 465. It works great for me but at some point if it gets damaged or I win the lottery I will likely buy a new one. Perhaps I'll even be looking for new old stock unless there really is an advantage to the newest of the new which I kinda doubt.

Trebel hook is considered a single hook by the regulations

I don't like trebles hard to remove from a fish you want to release and harder to remove from your hand or whatever part of you body you might accidently stick with it.
