Gary R.
A W Kayak Fisherman From Florida
Gary is a kayak fisherman who takes his hobby seriously, and he's found
some cool technical solutions that make his fishing experience more
productive as well as enjoyable.
He goes on long fishing trips, which means he had to find a way to
attach his kayak to his truck in a secure way for overnight stays in
motels (see photo).

Gary
needs to carry his kayak a long way from the parking lot over concrete.
He didn't feel like using a trolley since it's a hassle to get it back
to the car, and then get it from the car once he goes back to
shore. A trolley isn't that practical to carry on board either,
so Gary simply drags his kayak on this slide that he made, which he can
take onboard.
Gary uses a Wavewalk paddle since he often goes in shallow water where he sometime needs to pole.
Gary says: -"I like the W kayak a lot... One really nice advantage of the foam noodles which I
wasn't expecting - - I do a lot of sight fishing in very shallow water where it
is important to keep noise to a minimum. The foam noodles provide a great
platform for resting my fishing rod or paddle without making any noise
whatsoever."
Gary's favorite online kayak fishing discussion forum is the Jacksonville Kayak Fishing Forum.
