Personal views and rants about kayak fishing and more by YakAngler.com's founders and pro staff members.
If you ask a bunch of kayakers about trailers, you will get a wide variety of opinions. Some use repurposed Jet Ski or boat trailers and some go all out with dedicated trailers built and marketed just for kayaks. A lot of us use multi-purpose yard or cargo trailers and have to be ready to turn them from boat haulers…

I recently had the chance to ask kayak fishing phenom Carrie Brown a few questions about her recent successes. She is the overall champion of the last three Kayakapalooza fishing series in Nebraska.
