Tossed the feather around after work today.

Got out mid day, and launched bayside of Silverstrand. Caught tons of spotted bass, and one Corvina. I also wanted to try out one of my workhorse stands. I got tired of unloading all my crap and putting new scratch wounds on my pa from putting it on its side when attaching the wheels. (I like easy) haha.. I'm sure others here have better devices or method to this. Hopefully hobie will make a kick stand one day. Anyways here are some pics.
Cheerio!

Nice job. Are you using a flyrod?

Do you carry that saw horse with you on the yak?

Hey Lakersfan,
Ya I always bring my fly rod, makes things interesting when the fish want to play. The sawhorse did indeed ride with me that day, very light weight and compact, bungeed on the rear of my kayak. Might have to bring it with me on all my trips since it's not really in the way. Saved me time and energy especially after being on the water and fishing all day.
I'll try to upload a pic of ot strapped on the kayak.
Cheers!

You can't see the bungee, but it's wrapped and tucked over the yellow portion of the workhorse.

Gee!
I'll bet you're a "Clouser" fan.
Why no weighted/FishSkull flies or deceivers, ALF's, Mack/Sardine patterns?
Nice color selection though!!!

I just roll my PA into the water backwards and lift up just a little bit from the side in about a foot or two of water and reach under to pull out the wheels. I do the exact same thing to put them back in when done fishing. I get wet just below my knees and up to my elbow on my right arm removing and reinstalling the wheels. Not a big deal in winter since I wear waders and no rash on the side of the boat.

Not sure how you transport but I use my truck bed most of the time and pull it out just past the scupper holes, install the wheels then roll it to the water. When using the truck rack, I pull it off so the stern is sitting on the ground and bow is still up on the rear rack rail then install wheels. When loading, I lift the bow and set it on the rear rack rail and then I pull off the wheels before lifting the stern and pushing it up on the rack. The only thing that touches the pavement is the rear skids near the drain plugs and those are replaceable when they get worn out.
