Diy Locking Rod Transport for a Kayak Trailer or Roof Rack

I am currently on my third kayak trailer build in three years.  First I needed to carry two kayaks without having to balance them on top of my jeep. The second trailer was built for overnight trips to allow for max sleeping room in the truck. Now on my third build we are turning it into an extended trip kayak trailer. Capable of day trips but built to carry extra gear for extended trips. We have already figured out the boats and now the rods the second most valuable item on the trailer needed to be secured.

Sandy Point and Saving the Day

Collin and I both had a rare Friday off from school/work and we decided to talk advantage and take the yaks out. It was the first trip with my new outback and I was ready to break it in with some Striper slime. We planned to hit up the Severn river as their have been good reports of the large fish being caught in the rivers preparing to spawn. We didn't get out early as we hoped but by 10 we were approaching our exit for the Severn launch when we checked the wind and saw it was dead. After a quick conversation we decided to hit sandy point and see what a calm Chesapeake bay looked like. The last Sunday we went out there the wind was brutal and the waves beat us up and sent us home skunked. We rest our sights for sandy point state park and the deep steep channel edges where the big boats like to troll. We quickly launched and aimed for the green and red channel markers that lined the main channel.
The bay was calm and the only waves were from the boat wakes as they sped past.

Daily Routine: True Trout

We took a trip to home depot  and somehow ended up fishing for trout 30 minutes away from where we were supposed to be. We had planned to hit the Chesapeake but the winds were gusting  what felt like 50 mph so I decided to spend my day off doing some work on the trailer. When I do a project I always end up making multiple trips to home depot before I can finish and somehow this shopping trip ended up being a fishing trip.
