Gear Storage - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I imagine my car is bigger than yours but still not an SUV or any thing. I have most of my gear in a big rubbermade tub. This keeps the gear contained and keeps my car dry on the way home. If you have trouble getting your rods in your car they can go on the racks or strap flat on the top of your kayak. If space is super tight put the bulky or lighter items in the hatches of your kayak. Seat, PFD, paddleing clothes, even your rods and tackle will usually fit in the kayak. An advantage of a small car is they usually have a lower roof so you can lift a heavier yak up there or load the hatches once its up. Mike
