Where to tie for tow - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jruiz · 10-16-2016, 06:18 AM

I tried to get my brother to tow me upstream at Laughlin one time. I found that it took a lot of force to pull a loaded kayak, so much so that I didn't want to tie off anywhere on the kayak to risk damaging it in anyway. So we tried towing while I held the rope by hand. My conclusion was that the kayak tended to wander off center and eventually ended up sideways if pulled from anywhere behind the bow handle. This was a hobie adventure.
