Fishing Equipment For A Weekend Kayak Adventure

Blog

Escaping for a weekend of kayak fishing can be a great way to explore new waters and catch some trophy fish. Kayak fishing, particularly for extended weekend trips, poses unique challenges and may require specialized fishing equipment.

Gear and Tackle

From extra fishing equipment to camping gear, provisions, and clothing, most kayaks don't provide a surplus of storage options.

  • Tote Yak: one of the easiest storage solutions for kayak fishermen is to outfit a mini kayak or "tote yak" specifically for transporting/storing gear. When choosing one of the many options available to you through your fishing equipment supplier, it's important to look for options that have double or triple waterproofing measures and maximum storage capacity. You can leash your mini or "tote yak" to the back of your kayak to float behind you as you paddle to and from your camp spots.
  • Yak Crate: extended kayak trips sometimes require multiple rods, reels, and tackle. For most kayak anglers, they not only need fishing equipment suited for kayak fishing, but they also place a premium on accessibility. To make all of your fishing equipment easy to reach while you're on the water, you will need an efficiently designed "yak crate" bungeed or strapped down behind your kayak seat. When picking a "yak crate" for your weekend excursion you should consider rod holder placement and tackle capacity. For rod holder placement, you'll want to put the rods on the opposite side of your dominant casting side. This will prevent you from hooking your rods during your back cast. For tackle storage, having sliding trays for your tackle boxes can keep your gear organized throughout your trip.

Clothing and Accessories

Weekend kayak fishing trips can be a measure of extremes, from cold nights/mornings to blazing heat during the day. Having the right gear and accessories can be a safety and comfort necessity.

  • Collapsable: choosing jackets and outerwear that collapses into tidy pouches can mitigate storage problems created by kayak trips and also make it easier to swap out clothing items as the weather conditions change.
  • Accessories: from floating nets to tethers for your fishing pliers, kayak fishing equipment is all about functionality and efficiency. When choosing accessories from your fishing equipment supplier, you should look for lightweight materials (aluminum or titanium) and/or floating materials (plastics and wood). Although accessories made from these materials might be a bit pricier than traditional fishing equipment, they can prevent you from losing them if your kayak capsizes or encounters rough conditions.
