Kayak Check List

[fishinkid2010]

I saw an earlier post asking about what things to bring... So I thought I'd share my personal "check off list".
I personally take everything but the kitchen sink. Since I own a ton of crap for fishing, why not take it all right? haha
I also tend to forget at least one little thing every trip, so this was my way of trying to solve that problem.

I attatched the Word document if anyone wishes to use it, or edit it to their needs... (For some reason Excel spread sheets don't upload)

It is organized alphabetically based on the "group" I thought things fit in.

[fishinfreak]

nice tyler, you left the sealbombs part in the list but took out the "Surfboard- In case the fish aren't biting" part hhaaha

[lamb]

very nice work there kid, but it's more of a detailed breakdown of kayak parts and equipment.

These boaters that are lurking attracted by apparent simplicity of kayak fishing will run away when they see all the lil' things.

I like Billy's list, I'd just add headlamp if you're heading out early or late.

Brian put together nice checklist

Yeah! Does your kayak float after putting all of that in/on?

I did not notice beer on any of these lists. That should be right up there with sunscreen.

A few more years and I'll add it.


I personally like to break down my list into every little thing. Most people are probably fine with the general list of the basics... this was simply my way of making sure I bring everything I could want.
