I just got an Old Town Vapor 10 and I'm trying to figure out the best set up. It has a dry storage in the back, anchor pulley, and two rod holders behind the seat. I typically bring 4 rods out with me.
Any suggestions on the best set up?
Modifactions?

Carlos, this the fish I was telling you about. We didn't catch it but a guy in his yak did. Notice the fishing rod in his mouth. He fishes catch and release. I fish catch and eat. Lol this a speckled trout, also known as a spotted sea bass.

DAYUM, is putting it mildly. I'll bet it took him a while to get it in with that ultra lite reel.

SSG Carlos Madden, this is what I have on my kayak. I use two taco paddle holders, a 3.5 lb. anchor, an anchor trolley. I installed rod holders on my dry storage cover. Here's my kayak.

Never used a kayak before. I fish from the shore mostly, and use small boats occasionally. I would be interested in seeing how this works out.

MAJ Matthew Arnold, I bought my kayak last November. I'm 70 years old so I needed a kayak that wasn't real heavy, and I put mine on a trailer. I bought an Ocean motorized. It has a built in Minkota saltwater 35# thrust trolling motor. I use my paddle as much as I want to, but when I start getting really hot, I use my troll motor. One of the cons about having a motorized kayak is the battery. Mine is a Marine deep cycle sealed battery which is recommended. It probably weighs 50-60 pounds. I love fishing out of it. Kayaks can go inland to and island or reef with less than 3 feet of water. My buddy and me have been out several times and have caught fish every time. We can get as close to the fish, you can see their tails sticking out of the water. I'm talking about salt water fishing. Anyway, if you are thinking about buying one, see if the place rents them. This way you can determine if you like it or not. The wider the yak the more stable it is. You'll have to go out more than once to try it out. You won't like it the first time out. It does take getting used to it before you finally feel comfortable.

My buddy caught this 36" red fish last time we went out. It pulled him all over the place before it finally got tired.
