If we had to make one single admission about the shortcomings of fishing kayaks vs. bass boats, it would be storage space. You have less space to work with. As a result, you need to be far more intentional with your gear. Decisions have to be made about what you bring, where you put your kayak accessories and what is not essential to your success for each trip out.
Does this make a boat better than a fishing kayak? Of course not. Kayak accessories to not only improve storage space but streamline it have come a long way in recent years. With limited space and less room to physically maneuvre, a proper fishing kayak accessory can greatly improve your storage and organization.
Nothing frustrates this writer more than clutter and misplacing items amongst a tangled mess of gear in my fishing kayak. If you're like me, you are searching for ways to be more efficient with your storage and oragnization. Let's take a look at the different types of fishing kayak accessories that improve storage and oranization and then look at some of our favorite products.
Kayak storage accessories fall into a few different categories. Some utilize your accessory rails, some are crates with rails and attachments of their own and some utilize your seat. Generally, here are the different types of fishing kayak storage accessories:
Many kayak anglers use a combination of the above fishing kayak accessories to improve their storage and organization. But, not all of us are the same. We all fish differently, propel our kayaks differently and have different levels of comfortability with how much gear we bring along. As time goes on, I personally try to strip it down as much as possible. You may be someone who has their fishing kayak rigged to the max.
As you look at the kayak accessories below, think hard about how you fish, where you fish and how you want your fishing kayak to be organized. Do you paddle, pedal or power your kayak? Do you stand and fish? Do you like having an entire bait shop's worth of tackle with you or do you like to be hyper-focused with specifc gear? Now, keeping that in mind, how can the following fishing kayak accessories improve your storage and organization?
