Over the years I have taken more and more of the rigging/electronics of my yak. For one, I have switched to more ocean fishing then backbay. I try to keep everything to a minimal in case of spills. I;ve been lucky so far. I have alot of experience as I was a lifeguard and raced paddleboards which are fun to luanch from the beach and hop waves. I fished off them a few times after work wsa over in the early 90's chasing bluefish and bass after we where done for the day.
I have an 2000 Ocean Kayak Scrambler XT. It was an old lifeguard rescue yak. I have a rod mount down the starboard side I put a 8 ft Lami and a VS 150 on and I keep a conventional setup stored underneath. I only bring 6 or 8 plugs and a few metals, shads, and bucktails. Oh - I almost forgot - some 9" sluggos with a single 10/0 Gami. It's a very stable yak but you obv. loose paddling efficiency.
If I did more backbay I would get a hobie with the footpedals. I've tried them and they are sweet.
