[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 5916206, member: 220"] I can't stand anybody, in any vessel, that pulls onto the ramp to stage their gear. The reason kayakers get the bad rap there is...the modern fishing kayaker has a 200 lb kayak, along with10 or 12 inch sonar units, batteries, trolling motor, and more tackle/rods/reels than tournament boats. Because it's not a boat with storage and by the nature of how they are...they can't travel to the lake or river with gear IN the boat. It all has to be loaded from the vehicle after getting there. They have so much stuff that they have to be at the waters edge to load it all in...and vice versa when they leave. I always say, they defeated the benefits/perks of kayak fishing...which was being able to go places a boat couldn't go, and just fish with a rod or two and limited tackle. It is particularly bad when a group of them are together and they just beach em on the ramp and stand there and talk. I still kayak fish but I never go places with it that I can take my boat. And my kayak is still simple enough I can throw it in the truck bed, go anywhere and just roll it to the waters edge. Everything I need to fish with is in my life vest pockets or a single 3600 size storage box. 1 rod and a small lunch box for a drink or two. [/QUOTE]
