Simple bungee clip behind my seat...seems to work pretty well if you dont mind your hoops hanging half in the water and trailing 20 feet of knots and buoys;)

I put mine under my legs in the deck when launching, and if the surf is bigger, put them in the tankwell strapped with a bungee cord after all the lines are wrapped on the way in...best to have the weight in the back upon landing.

Some guys have made PVC fittings for their tank wells, always a good idea. Just make sure your lines are snug and won't come undone in any surf.

Hope this helps...

thanks for the tips guys. i was thinking on making a pvc rack to be zip tied to the stern but it seems like a pain in the ass to get the nets.

I like the PVC rack. Really easy to use and keeps the nets from sliding off the yak.

If I'm in my x-factor, I'll just lay the hoops over the bow. Works really well, even going through moderate surf. I just bungee the hoops down securely.

In the smaller yak, I use a pvc rack over the tank well.
