Review: YakAttack ParkNPole
Often the term stake out pole is synonymous with flats kayak anglers around the Gulf Coast. Being over 600 miles from the nearest salt water flat, this review of the YakAttack ParnNPole is from a land locked kayak fishing in lakes and rivers perspective.
Kayak Anchor Setups
The kind of bottom surface you're kayak fishing over will determine what kind of anchor you want to use. The depth of the water will also play a role in your decision as well. The following are some personal preferences that I have acquired for the different places I fish.
Anchoring A Kayak
Anchoring
Deploying the anchor sounds like Childs play, just throw it over the side and wait for it to hit the bottom then tie the rope off on the side of your kayak. Let’s go through what can go wrong first. Ok I’m out at sea and the tide is running from north and I throw the anchor over the south side of my kayak and let out enough rope for the anchor to hold bottom then quickly tie off on the south side of my kayak. Now I could be in trouble if the tide is running fast because the tide will want to push me and the kayak down tide, this is going to put strain on the anchor rope, it will want to pull the south side of the kayak down and at the same time the tide that is coming from the north is going to want to push under the kayak helping the anchor that is pulling. The result can be you go for a swim or you have to cut your anchor rope leaving your anchor on the bottom of the sea bed.
