Have you been looking for a way to stow your paddling gear on your kayak but frustrated with not having access until your next stop?  Look no further.  A kayak deck bag offers both water protection and easy access to your kayak equipment.  Choose from the Deck Mate Deck Bag or the Deluxe Deck Bag.  Cameras, flashlights, swiss army knives, snacks… everything is in an easy-to-reach location.  Perfect for sea kayakers on long voyages.  And lunch stays dry!  The Crossfire Sportsman's Deck Bag offers even more room and is designed for anglers to handle tackle and gear for great kayak fishing.  If you expect a large catch, consider the Kayak Catch Cooler, which will hold a lot of fish and keep them cool.  All all of the above are from Seattle Sports. From Surf to Summit comes the innovative Wedge, a combination deck bag, dry bag and backpack.

Whatever you decide, here are some ways to turn unused deck space into a convenient storage area.
