I always launch early, drive onto the sand unload and set up the Yak except for the expensive easy to carry things (fish finder head, custom gaff, Go Pro, PDF and VHF Radio). I carry the small stuff from where I park my car back to the launch in a gear bag. It is a lot easier than wheeling a fully loaded Kayak all the way from the parking lot. I have had to do it , but if I can drive onto the sand I find it much easier. Always look around the beach and walkway for weirdos hanging out. Usually the only ones there if not while still dark are people jogging or walking. I have never had a problem. Then I don't have reels and rods worth many hundreds each. A lot of times there is someone else launching that is there so your stuff is not alone while parking the car.

Like many others have said: park and unload. Wheel your loaded yak to the launch. Then stow or lock your wheels to the wood pilings. Not only does no one steal your s#!t, the seagulls can't peck at your catch while you go get your car and you get to avoid many of the highly intellectual tourists questions.

Oh come on DM, the tourist questions are in the top 5 events that can occur at LJ. That and having stock answers that are as dumb as their questions.

I know I am such a party pooper.
Yes I caught it in the ocean.
Yes I caught it from my kayak.
Yes I landed it by myself.
I was a mile and a half out.
No it's not a tuna.
That's called a bait tank.
