New Trident 15 rigging - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

yak-fishing-socal · 11-03-2014, 03:11 PM

So I recently bought a new old stock OK t15 from oex. Now its time to rig her up so far this is what I've done...
Dry storage/rod holder vittles tank. way better then a milk crate, ice chest behind seat clipped in. Also did a water bottle holder on the rod pod...here are some pictures. My goal for this yak is never drilling into the kayak for mods. I want to keep everything module

Iv yet to take her out on her maiden voyage but hopefully this weekend it will happen

Happy yakin

Looking good! My Trident looks the same, minus the cooler (I have an orange Plano box). The only holes I drilled were for the ram mount, which is in the sonar shield.. I use a Mad Frog Liberator that holds the transducer in the water.. Nothing is permanently installed on my boat.. Happy rigging!

I'll have to look into the mad frog liberator...hopefully my wife and kid get me a fish finder for Christmas...

Dennis · 11-03-2014, 05:33 PM

I got the liberator a couple of years back, when there was not much out there. Now a days there are many options..

Yea ram is kinda pricey on there transducer arm I could probably make one cheaper

Iceman · 11-03-2014, 06:00 PM

Nice, likely the last one I will ever sell! get er wet and get er bloody!

yak-fishing-socal · 11-03-2014, 06:19 PM

Love the wheels

yak-fishing-socal · 11-03-2014, 06:37 PM

Lol I knew someone was going to say something about my purple power wheels wheels but hey the work great on the sand and I didn't have to pay a $100 for wheelies

alanw · 11-03-2014, 06:48 PM

Looks good but don't worry about drilling a few holes, especially for standard items like FF mounts and Scotty/Ram mounts. Those guys took a perfectly good yak hull and drilled 100 holes in it before you got it.

FISH11 · 11-03-2014, 07:04 PM

Looks good,except for the wheels. Nothing, a can of black spray paint won't fix. But where is your beer can holder?

yak-fishing-socal · 11-03-2014, 07:11 PM

@fish11 hahaha this is my next item on the list I love the fact that the rod pod is plug and play when you need it..

FISH11 · 11-03-2014, 07:16 PM

SWEET!

yak-fishing-socal · 11-06-2014, 07:50 AM

OK one last rigging I did to the 15,I'm done until I get my depth sounder

I know I might not be able to use the ice chest with this set up but I can take it off any time...

merica f@#$ yah

wiredantz · 11-06-2014, 08:04 AM

i love my trident 15

buddha · 11-06-2014, 12:44 PM

What kind of bag/cooler is that behind the seat? It seems to fit nicely. I have a Trident 11 but I think my area behind the seat is slightly narrower.

yak-fishing-socal · 11-06-2014, 01:03 PM

It's a Coleman that I picked up at Marshall's for like 12 bucks

yak-fishing-socal · 11-07-2014, 12:30 PM

I am truly lucky pucked up this trailer for 250 today sold my old trailer I got for free yesterday for 100 so I pretty much got this for 150 looked it up online and it retails for 899....happy guy right here.. I can now sell my e350 that I used to take kayaking and save some gas. To bad I'm going out of town this weekend,it would be a nice weekend to take out all the new stuff...

yak-fishing-socal · 11-07-2014, 12:32 PM

I might extend the trailer in the future

yak-fishing-socal · 11-11-2014, 08:39 PM

Just got this looks like it will be super handy
