I’d like to hear your experience. My biggest cart complaint is storage after launch. That one looks like it breaks down pretty well for storage.

I’ve been using a plug in cart since 2015 with no issues. I did a couple of mods for my use.

I cut down the uprights so that I don’t have to lift the kayak as high for putting the cart on and taking it off.

I put on tennis balls as well. 1 ball per and cut in half. I’ve attached a bad picture of what I mean.

Fun to catch and release, but also very tasty to eat!
Yeah! This year? Great pic!

That one is a few years old from that one spot. Tried there a little while back for nothing. Might go again sometime this spring. Sitting at anchor is relaxing IMO

I was told that aerodynamic drag is exponential. So even a slight increase in speed has a big effect on things when they are not aerodynamic (roof rack with kayak).
I have noticed that with my electric car, that even putting the light weight Hobie Lynx on top really cuts down range dramatically at freeway speeds, but not so much at speeds under 50-60mph. So I now try to stay under 70mph. I'll get there when I get there.

So if you are not liking your gas mileage, drop your speed just 5 or 10 mph down to 60 - 70 or so and see what it does.

I got fish to catch, I ain’t slowing down!!

nice, looks like a productive day. I've always thrown them back as I'm not sure how to clean them, If I fillet them, doesn't seem like I would get any meat? how do you prepare them?

Thanks,
Brian.

Paul thanks for the report. Looks like a productive day. Anecdotally speaking I think sole go deeper in the winter, but I’m probably wrong.

Brian I prepare them like Paul suggests as well. Diagonal cut from shoulder to behind anal cavity. Head, guts, everything as one piece. Then scale and remove fins if desired.

Keep the heads and guts by using a vac sealer. There are no spikes so it will seal up nice and store well for crab bait.

The JahRunner has a body lift right, or leveling kit? May need to replace the CV axel & boots, if that was never done.
You know what I’d say: get you a Ram 1500.

I have 130k or so on my Ram 1500 and plan on driving it into the ground. Gas mileage sucks though. With the roof racks and 2 kayaks on top plus loaded down with camping and fishing gear I’m getting less than 15mpg at ~75 mph freeway speeds.

Can you add me in? Trying to get some more time and experience on the water this year.

Any recommendations for a bump board? I heard the sharpie markings on the side of my kayak aren't admissible

I sent you a PM in case you miss this post. Since you have not created an AOTY account before please do so. Click the AOTY link, then click create account, then enter your info. Once done I can activate the account.

For a measure board I have been using a Ketch 32” board. It’s light and durable and at 32” it can measure most of my catches. https://ketchproducts.com/product/32-ketch-karbonate/

Lots of striped and white perch in the jetty area. Redtails and barred along the sand.

Another vote for an inexpensive Okuma rod here. Pair it with a low profile baitcaster, throw on some 10lb braid with a topshot of mono. Works for downrigger, weights, and flat trolling. I think I’m using the 7-6 light model.
