I can't believe how many negative comments you have gotten on this video. I appreciate you making this video and telling us what has worked for you. Everyone's situation is different (i.e. different yaks, setups, goals, etc) so obviously what works for one may not work for another. But I don't see the need for some of these people to be so snarky with their comments. I just purchased an Old Town Topwater PDL and can't wait to get it out on Guntersville Lake for some bass fishing and Weiss Lake for some crappie fishing. It will be my first time fishing from a kayak and this video has given me some ideas on what to carry with me. Keep up the good work!

Great video with excellent advice. One thing I would add as a safety point is when you’re waterproofing yourself, NEVER use waders. Always make sure that water can drain out the bottom of the pant legs. The reason for this is if you do flip over when wearing waders, water can get trapped inside the waders and weigh you down making it way harder to get back in the kayak. Depending on how much water gets trapped it can be next to impossible without help.

Good video - Academy, NRS, great places to find stuff you need. Down here on the gulf coast, I also carry a handheld VHF. Even if fishing inshore, if something bad happens and you need help ASAP, a VHF radio will work when a cell phone may not. Plus, if your fishing buddies also have one, you can communicate with them on the water. Very helpful.

Welcome to the kayak club! Not sure how much experience you have in kayak fishing, but what I carry is no where near what a lot of folks carry. The first part of the video is just different storage options to keep your stuff dry in one storage area. From pricey to dirt cheap. Choose which one is best for you. The only other thing I can see where you say I'm overloaded for say is my staple box. The contents of the box fits all in my center hatch under my seat. Doesn't take up any space and adds less than a pound of weight. If you leash your stuff correctly you won't lose it. If you look on my crate you will see a place where my ruler fits and leashes dangling off the side. My kayak is rated for 450 pounds. I weigh 200. Not only does kayak companies make kayaks to hold more weight for bigger guys but also for gear. I carry camera gear as well with extra batteries. Others carry that and a big drone for your viewing pleasure. Some don't need that cuz they are not filming. as you gain experience or your hobby turns into passion you will be surprised of what your kayak will look like in the future. I started with very little, but 8 years have went by and I realized I wasn't prepared or caught myself in a pinch and borrowing from my kayak peers. The other items I listed are pilers, better have those; wetsuit and boots; rod sleeves for traveling. Flash light/ headlamps for when I'm tying on a lure in the dark or paddling back to the dock for safety. If you think this is too much then you will be shocked and start asking on Facebook for pics of peoples kayaks on the water. Everyone is different and fish for different species. Some fish for a few hours and others like myself are on the water all day. This is what I needed, may be different for you. I gave folks ideas or to consider some new things. You may choose what to use but there is not a universal 10 items that you only need across the country. Everyone has different list depending on the circumstances. Just do your homework and be prepared. Tight lines and thanks for your comment.

I'm easy going. I didn't feel like you came off any negative way. I just wanted to give you more details. You got some great thoughts. Yeah I agree with you. Speed is less important to me than stability. The only time I ran into that was when I had a Jackson Coosa which is made for moving water, well I took it on a big lake and it was bad. So I got a kayak that is good in 90% of the waters I fish. Stay safe, wear a PFD and explore brother.

Central Arkansas. Most fishing is done on lakes in Central AR. Several are stained and a few are clear. I travel the state to fish springs, rivers, creeks and other lakes. I do go to Florida once a year and target Spanish Mackerel. Hoping to hit a few lakes in Texas this year as well as fish Toledo Bend on the Louisiana side again. Welcome to the sport! It's an awesome adventure each time.

Great question and nice kayak. I wouldn't trust any hatch seal on kayaks no matter what the cost was. Somehow water always gets inside. I would use a small dry bag in there too or a ziploc bag for back up. Put some paper towels in the hatch, then hose it down to test it out. Even if it passes the test, i would still put my valuables in a dry bag. If you capsize and the hatch is under water for a few minutes that would be my biggest worry. It's more of a splash guard than anything. hope that helps

rocky martin oh yeah! You have that nice hatch behind you which is great! My first kayak was a old town Vapor. Loved that kayak. It was like yours. The best thing that worked for me in staying organized was to have a small tackle bag with a shoulder strap. I would have that bag up under the nose of my kayak out of the way and when I needed something I would grab the strap between my legs and pull it to me. Worked like a charm. I would get a dry box for my valuables and place it by your seat or in your back hatch out of the way. I like keeping my phone in my life jacket with a waterproof thing around. Just in case I flip and the kayak drifts away, I can call for help vs it being in my kayak sunk or floating away. It’s good to do that with your keys and wallet too but for sure your phone.

u should speak on how to be over equipped yea safety is the top thing but when u add to many things and u spend your time on the water moving around in the kayak having to sort through a ton of stuff u will hardly ever use and the risk to flip it increases best to have a few storage areas with everything u need instead of a bunch of different boxes an bags might as well make your boat into a suit case

Chris Gruver example 1) you are floating on a river and you have one vehicle upstream and one down, 6 hour float total. Your seat breaks and you no longer have back support and you have 4 hours left. What would you do? 2) you are fishing in a kayak tournament on a big lake and your rudder gets loose an hour and half into the tournament. Will you say oh well didn't bring my tools so I will steer with the paddle the rest of the day or will you take an Allen wrench that you packed and re tighten the bolt and your good again. Couple of real issues that happened. Zip ties fixed my seat and I was comfy the rest of the day. Be prepared if not could ruin the rest of your day. My kayak is complex pedal drive. You don't have that so you might not need the tools I need. But your seat may break one day. Have something to fix it. Tight lines!
