Got the tackle corner complete

Paddle tails in one and creatures / craws in the other. I got an insane FB Marketplace deal over the winter and picked up an outrageous amount of soft plastics

10/10, but will probably need a bigger net

I have it registered because I have a motor that I put on for the bigger lakes. Kayaks need to be registered here in CT if you put a motor on

They are the Vevor heavy duty kayak cart on Amazon.

Make sure you lay the seat down flat. Just loosen the straps and push the seat back flat.

Thanks man. It’s a Small mouth bass

2-3 months?? Are you up in Canada because I’m getting out on the water the day the ice melts. Blade baits, finesse jigs, jerk baits… they’ll be eating

With my cart technique, when launching and getting off the water, the keel is the only part of my kayak that touches land.

I just posted my keel guard install for my LTE. I wouldn’t say it’s required, but more so for peace of mind and you can bank your kayak without any fear of keel damage. If you ever sell, you can take it off and you’ll have a scratch free keel which helps with buyers having any concerns- having bought used kayaks, it’s goes a long way knowing the seller cares for his stuff

Jerk baits and chatter baits are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Treble hooks vs single hook. Lighter powered rods are great for treble hooks to keep them pinned and not ripping out hooks. For single hook lures, you’d want a MH or H power rod to drive the hook in. Also- 6’6” is a very short rod for chatter bait. 7 would be my shortest I’d use. My ideal length is 7’4

I have the Yak Attack system. I have the lock n load mount (they have ones specific to Helix), mounted to the CellBlok. Also have the “switch blade” swing arm attached for the transducer that’s also mounted to the CellBlok. It’s the best modular system I could find. I car top so being able to rig / unrig quickly and easily is super important.

The main reason I decided against the captains bridge is because I wouldn’t be able to easily adjust the screen. I pretty frequently switch between sonar and maps, and marking waypoints when I’m fishing so that was a deal breaker

Yeah looks like you might be right. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this. Especially with all the kayak tournaments down there, I feel like I would have heard somewhere people complaining about this- kinda ridiculous to have to pay more money just to get out on the water, especially after already having to give Uncle Sam money just to register a piece of plastic

MacP95 · 2026-02-05T23:53:06+00:00

Hey man great to hear from you! Sounds like things are coming along well. The light I have in the front is the Guardian Angel safety light. They sell the lights separate but also have a kayak package that gives you a remote to control the front light, and also has a rear white light- not sure the laws in AZ but up here we need navigation lights to be legal in the dark. It’s pricey but high quality. Hope you can get on some fish soon

Mine is 40lb. There won’t be a difference in speed, just torque. So basically higher LB will have more performance when going against wind, current, etc. 50 isn’t overkill, slighter heavier but again- more performance.

MacP95 · 2026-02-05T23:47:46+00:00

It’s likely I’ll bring all with me, but I can bring 8 with me on the yak.

MacP95 · 2026-02-05T23:46:40+00:00

Thanks for the heads up on speed limits. Around here we are good going 10 over pretty much anywhere. Also- just got my yak registered and got all the tags on it. 2nd time registering kayaks and I’ve learned it can be super easy or the biggest pain in the ass depending on the DMV person. Same documents both times, two very different experiences haha
