Trident 13 Rudder and Anchor Trolley - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

For a quick and easy anchor trolley. I just ran a line from the bow to stern tying it to the handles. A little slack in it so it hangs partway on the side of yak. When using anchor, just let out the anchor, loop a carbiner to the anchor rope, clip to the line running bow to stern, can anchor bow or stern. leave enough tag line from anchor so you can pull the carbiner back from the bow or stern.

Iv'e done pretty well on my T-13 without a rudder so far. You sometimes need to change up the left, right, left, right paddle rhythm. But as soon as I come up with the extra cash I won't be opposed to putting one on, unless I get a peddler before then.

I installed one of these on my Malibu but never tried it. I sold the Malibu a couple of days after installing it. There's no need to buy the expensive ones, do a youtube search for Kayak Anchor Trolleys and there are some great ideas on there.

I don't know what kind of fishing you plan on doing, but I fish the ocean and bay and I very rarely anchor. Abou the only time I put the anchor down is when I bait fish in South SD Bay. The rest of the time I am trifting or paddling. Mike

yeah I have a brand new unused anchor, I always have it in the truck with me, but it has yet to get wet, I have had it for 6 years...

Cool.... Thanks for the input. I guess I'll add the rudder and just chill without the anchor. If anything maybe I can use one of those drift chutes or something if I ever feel I need it. Anyone use one of those? Or do you guys have them but not really get much use out of them much also. I plan on fishing the SD bay, mission bay, point Loma kelp, and LJ. Plan on fishing Bass, Hali, Yellowtail, whites sea bass....whatever's biting!!
