Heavy or Light? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I used to bring everything and the kitchen sink, now much more of a minimalist approach. Bear in mind I'm a bass fisherman... I have a box for swimbaits and small bag that hold 3 small plano boxes and some loose bags of baits. I pretty much just bring along enough lead for 2 trips, plus weedless hooks and bullets in one box. The other 2 have creature baits and Ringer worms. Loose bags are 3 bags of Zooms and a bag of Swimmin' Senkos.

I have 2 flush mounts behind the seat and my FF is on a Mad Frog Gear set-up mounted to a Scotty flush mount. With my back I've learned to lighten up on the gear. Plus I finally got over my fear of not having the "right bait" and just make sure I catch fish with what I have on hand. I think it's made me a better angler.
