....I also dislike having to get all my gear sandy at the end of a solo trip so I can put the kayak on its side to insert the cart.....ABSOLUTELY!! In my old Sport, if I was careful, I could lean it on it's side without 'too much stuff' falling out (just loose stuff in the sides) and insert the wheels, but it was still a 'pain' ....... it should still work for the 2015 Sport tho .....
..I briefly considered adding a kick-stand to the cart, ....Yes - that would work, but as you said, still tricky to locate the small holes tho!!
With Darrell's idea, having the yak still in the water seems to assist the 'pulling of the wheels thru the scuppers' - he makes it look just SOOOO easy!! Glad you like it!!!
I'll be interested to see anyone else's version on this thread - when you have it all up & running!
Feel free to post your thoughts on KFDU as well once you have joined - I know that Darrell would LOVE to hear your own thoughts on his idea!
Then go & put some trip reports on as well!! We don't often read of US Yak Fishing Reports! We'd all LOVE to have a go at your small and large mouth bass ...... ours are probably similar to your small mouth bass - and don't generally grow much bigger than 2kg-3kg (about 6-7lb and it would need to be bigger than 60cm/2ft to reach those weights), - tho I am sure someone has caught 'the unicorn' and not had it recorded!
The biggest recorded bass in Australia (eastern states only) is 3.78kg (8 1/2lb) would have been a sight to see!! They hit like freight trains, too!!
Here is my report on a 45cm one I landed last year on a great session with some buddies in a tiny creek
