I do a similar thing upon returning through the surf.

I remove the reels, and store them in a dry bag, then place them inside the hatch. The same goes for the fish finder.

The rods have their own system.
I use a couple of flexible twist tie sticks to attach them to a pool noodle, and leash the whole thing to the yak.

-It will float like a cork with 4 rods attached. Everything else is attached to the Game Clip which is also attached to the pool noodle.
Even if by some chance a leash should break the whole thing would be floating right there in plain sight.
It works with a bait tank in the well, just stick them along side, or leash them anywhere you want.
