This is my ongoing journey of having a fishing kayak. First a reminder, I am an older guy, 57, and overweight, 300 pounds. So, naturally, I do not want to do too much exertion to fish from a kayak. My kayak is about 70 lbs., and I am not the strongest guy either. Man-handling this kayak by myself is monumental. In this Blog, I will be speaking about storing it. I need to store it while I am not fishing. I first bought some racks from Amazon, to screw on the side of my house. That worked for a little bit, but still had to transfer kayak to a wagon that I have been using as a cart and by doing that myself, it was a lot of exertion. Then, I went with just the wagon, and it was fine but still cumbersome. Currently, I have a rolling cart from Amazon (Freestanding Kayak Storage Rack, Kayak Racks for Outdoor Storage 2 Kayak, Kayak Stand Heavy Duty Storage for Kayaks, Canoes, SUP and Surfboards) that is sturdy enough to roll it from the side of the house and place it on my truck with bed extender without lifting it. I can now move and maneuver the kayak, but I do not have to lift it at all now. Whew, such a big relief! I don’t mind going with friends, but sometimes, I just want to hang out myself, to be one with the water and you must think smarter not harder. Below is a pic from Amazon of the rolling kayak rack. It is very economical, about $100-, and it has been a good value thus far.
