If you're a kayak fisherman, chances are you've used a fish stringer at some point. But if you're new to the sport, you might be wondering how to use one on a kayak. Here's a quick guide to using a fish stringer on a kayak.
First, find a place to attach your stringer. Most kayaks have scupper holes near the cockpit that can be used for this purpose. If your kayak doesn't have scupper holes, you can still attach the stringer by tying it off to something solid like a cleat or handle.
Once the stringer is attached, thread your fish onto it one at a time. Be careful not to put too many fish on the stringer, as it could become overloaded and sink. Once all of your fish are on the stringer, lower it into the water so they can swim around and stay alive until you're ready to clean them.
When you're ready to clean your catch, simply pull up the stringer and remove the fish one by one. If you want to keep them alive for transport back home, make sure to keep them in cool water (in an ice chest or live well) until you're ready to clean them later.
