Cool stuff for Kayaks!

[Gigmaster]

I just did something neat to my Yak. I bought a 15' x 6" strip of Velcro at Wal-Mart, the kind with the sticky back.

I cut various lengths to size and put them on my Yak and equipment to be able to hold my paddle, rods and a spotlight. Now everythings out of the way, but still accessable and usable...especially the spot light. I'm ready to go frog gigging, now!

Semper Fi!

Waterproof adhesive on the Velcro?

[Gigmaster]

I'm not sure. It said it was " Industrial Stength"

It it's not waterproof now, it will be. I have water-proof epoxy!

I think I may have figured this picture thing out. I 'm going to try to post a few details here.

I was even able to fix a spot to hold a spotlight, and you can take it loose and use it by hand anytime you need to.

Semper Fi!

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I just can't seem to get any pictures to show up.

Any sugggestions?

I cut and pasted the links you sent & got the pictures loud and clear. Matter of fact, I only used one of your links and clicked on the slide show option to get all five pics.

All I did on the light was to stick the loop part of the velcro on the forward deck, and stick the hook side of the velcro to the bottom of the spotlight. Then, you just set the light on the patch and it sticks securely. When I took the boat out the other night, I discovered that you can also stick the light on it sideways for fishing, or spot-lighting on the bank, while keeping your hands free. I used it for frog-gigging with my bow (which a yak is perfectly suited for) and it worked great. The rod/paddle patches on the front deck held my Bow and arrow securely. I came home with my limit in less than 2 hours (Yes, Ga. has a limit on Bullfrogs...believe it or not!).

I don't know if this will hold everything in whitewater (probably not), but who fishes in whitewater anyway? I went through some Class II water on the Conasauga River yesterday and didn't lose anything. That's plenty good enough for me!

Semper Fi!

Gigmaster,

If you'll notice the tag [/img] in front of all your links? Those slash marks ( / ) are the "OFF switch", in order to get the links to work you should place the [img] (the ON switch) in front of the links and then put the [/img] (the OFF switch) at the end of each link.

Hope that helps.

I'm gonna try it one more time. Here goes.....

[Gigmaster]

I give up! I just can't get any pictures on here!

Semper Fi!

Gigmaster,

I'm sorry I messed you up.

Your links are actually not going to work as images because your links direct the browser to a web page. Therefore, use the [url] tags.

Your actual photo addresses are quite different than the links you provided. Here's one of them.

http://f7.yahoofs.com/users/44e88898zc1 ... EBFCAcQJAT

However, that address placed within the [img] tags will not show the image either, so it must be used within the [url] tags.

I highly recommend you use photobucket for your pictures. That way the tutorials that are posted here will be easier for you to follow. Also, don't get discouraged, you'll get the hang of all this and then you'll be the one telling others how it works.
