[FISH11]

I always launch early, drive onto the sand unload and set up the Yak except for the expensive easy to carry things (fish finder head, custom gaff, Go Pro, PDF and VHF Radio). I carry the small stuff from where I park my car back to the launch in a gear bag. It is a lot easier than wheeling a fully loaded Kayak all the way from the parking lot. I have had to do it , but if I can drive onto the sand I find it much easier. Always look around the beach and walkway for weirdos hanging out. Usually the only ones there if not while still dark are people jogging or walking. I have never had a problem. Then I don't have reels and rods worth many hundreds each. A lot of times there is someone else launching that is there so your stuff is not alone while parking the car.
