Without any shade in sight, your choice while kayak fishing comes down to either bake in the sun or install a shade umbrella using PVC either strapped to your seat or on a PVC gear head adapter. BUT, don’t use just any umbrella since only the sport-brella versa-brella has the ability to adjust in many different angles using buttons as well as a huge clamp to lock it in place. So far, it has not spooked any fish as the redfish footage included in this video shows!
