I want to learn fishing better and catch/cook when I can. I haven't been able to do this until now. I think I can live with some downsides if I can protect and secure the yak. Was planning to use the scuppers to secure to any solution I come up with. But I hear what your saying. Unfortunately, I...

Wow. Didn't know that was a thing. Maybe mount it over the spare tire? JK  :P

I'm seeing rear vertical storage solutions with just a metal basket off the hitch and a veritical frame to hold the yak but the nose of the yak rests on a foam pad. Do fishing kayaks really stand up to that kind of abuse?  I know you can pop a scupper with a mud pole if you're not careful and...

Hello, I'm a software engineer looking to escape California and retire to van life. Want to travel the country playing disc golf and kayak fishing.    Started out looking at sailing YouTube channels and then saw a couple transition to a van and starting consuming van life videos and decided that...
