Thanks so much for posting this video. I was having a hard time securing my yak so it wouldn't slide and this works perfect! Love the idea with the cart as well. Happy fishing! 🎣😊

Awesome tip on dropping it on the cart with the strap trick!

Thats a great method with the cart strapped to the end of the kayak. I'm going to have to figure something like that out

@@FishINwithGRAMPS I can’t wait to get back to Bonita Springs Fla… Your vid will be very helpfull with my pick up rental. Last year I rented a Dodge Gran Caravan but I wasn’t feeling secure with my 10 feet kayak on the roof. I ended puting the kayak inside the vehicule. It fit but with a inch to spare…

I have a Sportsman as well, and a Wilderness Systems cart. I'll have to try your method of unloading w/ the strap over the cart! I do have a question about your straps, though - You say you cut the hooks off, but what do your tie-downs in the bed look like? In my truck, the tie downs are these flat metal loops covered in bed liner. I would think that the straps would eventually wear through where they rub these loops, and would not feed them directly through these. I don't have a problem with the hooks on these loops, but if you don't like the hooks, wouldn't you at least want to feed the strap through a carabiner so the strap is not rubbing on a sharp edge?

I've used carabiners as well. I actually have a yak trailer now

A sensitive question, with no negatve agenda. I see that you are a heavier gentleman, as am I !!! I too have a 10 foot sit on kayak made by lifetime.The reason I mention the manufacturer is that I have the same seat as your's. With my center of gravity higher than normal, balance is an issue. As is entering, and exiting my kayak. So, as a larger guy, how bout some tips ?

@FishINwithGRAMPS 2 жыл бұрын

I don't stand, as I have a bad knee. I sit on the side of the seat and push off from the bank.

@ronaldraux6909 Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't recommend strapping through the handles. They are only screwed on and can eventually be pulled off the kayaks. Run your straps through scupper or even peddle drive opening and just snug the straps loosely .

Great video. I am hoping to be a new kayak owner. What length do you recommend for a new guy? Mainly want to fish with it and occasionally just enjoying the scenery I have a Honda Ridgeline with a 5.5 ft box. Nothing fancy lightweight would be nice. Seen you have a box ad well. I have 2 but with the out of control gas prices they sit in the garage. Way to expensive to operate. Thanks again

My first was a Old Town Topwater 106 (paddle) that was 10'6", then the Sportsman PLD that was the same (pedal). My son just got the Sportsman 106 to paddle, great boats and you can find them on sale time time of year.

Run the cart back to the truck if close or bring it with. Most times i bring mine back to the truck, it's less hassle than bringing it on the kayak.
