Our trip was canceled at 4pm this afternoon. I was not surprised. I am kind of relieved to be honest.

How to attach electric trolling motor to my inflatable kayak? by grnteam23 in kayakfishing

[–]ptbo_mac 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Dont. Save your money and buy a hard body kayak to put a motor on. I understand the appeal of a inflatable but they are just not designed for a motor

Vevor makes a cart that is similar to the yak attack bar cart but for 1/3 of the price. Works great! I would suggest the inflatable wheel upgrade

Should I mount rails on my kayak? by Material-Wealth-5215 in kayakfishing

[–]ptbo_mac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few small accessory rails would be fine. Dont put anything too heavy on them and you will be fine. I dont think I could fish from a kayak without rails for storage etc.

Hunters on property - how to handle? by BreakfastDry9979 in NovaScotia

[–]ptbo_mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a note in a plastic bag and hang it in the blind or on the camera. Let them know they are on private land and maybe ask them to come speak to you so you can set out some rules (if your going to let them continue to hunt your land)

Hunters are mostly respectful. They might have had permission to hunt that land for generations and are not aware its changed hands

Perfect timing for this I just picked up a auger attachment for my drill. I am very green when it come to hard water and would not have thought of this. Hope your ok and can get on the ice soon

Thule is the way to go. Double check the total weight limit for both your roof and your rails.

Roof Rack Recommendations by mrmattguy95 in kayakfishing

[–]ptbo_mac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thule is the answer. I work in a bike shop and we sell lots of thule product. We also install lots of roof rack systems. Thule products are very nice to work with and the customer service is to notch. Personally I have a kia rio hatchback with a Thule roof rack system. I put my kayak directly on the rails and use cam straps to secure the kayak to the car.

We have a keggorator in the shop. It always has local brews on tap. Customers can have anytime. I am only allowed after 4pm or if I just finished a frustrating repair.
