Store kayak at a marina? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yeah i know you could but it gets expensive. It's a good idea for a temproary thing but it quickly adds up. You need to get down to Mission bay and find out the storage rates. Good Luck

I suppose an additional question might be does anyone know where to get a cheap trailer or have plans on how to make one?

I have two suggestions. You could probably rig up a jet ski trailer to work with a kayak but putting a hitch on a Z-car might be a challenge.

I know that there are roof racks that can be adapted to work on your car. I saw a guy a few months ago with a yak strapped to a Porsche. Maybe not the best idea but probably doable.

Yeah I have seen this http://boofsquire.com/ , but am unsure about a 10ft+ kayak on that thing.

You need an old beater fishing truck, One that likes salt and rust, and the interior that can handle that squid ink and smells like fish and spilled coffee, it will probably cost as much as storage after the season.....after all you will be catching fish and hauling gear.....

Leather seats can hold that stank and stain real good...

A truck for fishing...a "Z" for trolling....life's good.........

Agreed the Z not the best car for fishing, but I don't think a beater truck is in the cards right now. I know they make hitches for the Z so worst case it means I just have to trailer it. Not like I will be towing anything huge weight wise.

You just described my 4WD Ford F-350 Crew Cab PU! IT's a 1985 with only 90K miles on it, but has a thirsty 460 Big block motor and 4 on-the-floor!

Any ways, if your looking for a cheap trailer, try Harbor Freight. I've seen a small trailer go for $150 new on a blow-out sale with a 20% discount coupon. Although you might get the same wheels we use for our yak carts!

i'd pass on that one. just noticed it has a max capacity of 50 lbs. I think you'd be a little over that or very close with most fishing kayaks
