If you have $100+ to spare.
Here is the link:

Otherwise, 2 or 3 one gallon empty plastic juice/milk bottle will do the trick too..

I have seen some people take gear over to the showers at the shores and give them a rinse off there.

Since I have a long drive home when I fish at La Jolla, I rinse my gear at the showers.

I'm with Jason--
Ever consider a self serve car wash? $2.50 for four minutes and they provide the soup and brush. You wouldn't even have to take the yaks down off the rack.

I have a big container with a lid on a hinge-- I fill it up with water and car wash soap before I leave the beach. Put my seat, straps, PFD, ect in it and drive home. By the time I get home my gear is nice and clean from the sloshing it went through on the way home.

I like the bucket of soap idea. I live real close to lj and my little water mister/pesticide sprayer works but im sure there is a better way. Ive used that carwash on clmt drive before but 2.50 a trip adds up fast! thanks for the replies.

I'll take a shot at some of your other questions. If I'm trolling a mack and see fish boiling near by I'll cast a surface iron at them. Getting your bait in and casting it at the fish takes too long and trolling right through a boil can push the fish down. When I'm on the water and in the area I want to fish I'll keep a bait out the whole time. In the yak you're going a perfect slow troll speed any way so you might as well have a bait in the water as much as possible. As for washing kayaks and gear, I used to just put all the poles and gear in the shower. The kayak I usually didn't bother to wash at all unless it had fish blood on it. MIke

For about $40 you can get a 3 1/2 gallon portable 12v spray washer. It works pretty decent and can get all my gear and kayak rinsed. Don't have the link handy, but it is called a Nomad.
