Tape Measure - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PescadorPete · 06-07-2010, 08:40 AM

I use a thick Sharpie marker to mark each side along the top edge of the yak. A short port to starboard tick mark at the zero mark is about even where I sit and the few necessary lengths are marked forward of that. The length is written at each mark. I can bring the fish alongside, hold the tail at the zero mark and point the nose forward to measure. The marks require an occasional touchup during the season.
