Lights for transporting yak in truck bed - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Two $5each bike light zipped zipped tied to the back of the yak.

Done deal.

I was going to wire up a harbor freight kit awhile back but since I would only need it once or twice a year i figured it wasn't worth the trouble.

I forgot....

I did use a red glow stick for a while....until my kid stole it from me.

lol i quoted! woohoo! kidding.

Update to my case. I beat it. Didn't have to pay a cent. I got a 2nd violation on the same ticket for following too closely to the car in front. (tail gating in car pool lane.) can't really call it tail gating when traffic was less than 20 mph....

Judge dismissed both charges.. It was day time and I had a flag. Night time I would've got into trouble being I didn't have any lights.

I pass by cops many times, only that one time I got pulled over... dude even pulled out one of those ruler wheels thing to measure. But I'm just happy I didn't have to pay anything. Would have been an expensive lobster trip....

I have been lucky, never looked at in 15 years of throwing kayaks in the bed. Most of the time without a red flag.

Good thing I did not catch a fish this time at LJ, it would have been riding in the passenger seat

What's not legal, I do always redflag a load like this.

8 kayaks about 700 pounds, there is a bed extender and I get redundant on my tie downs!............and I am a professional.

so under 4 feet of hang no redflag or extra lighting needed.............check!
