[#0000FF]Snot-nosed kid. Wish I was only 66 again.
You really should consider making a wheeled contrivance to improve the mechanical advantage of moving that heavy beast around. I have made several "tube carts" using the frame and/or wheels from a good sturdy golf cart. If you fab it right it will strap down on top of your yak while you fish and then be ready to get you back to your vehicle when you finish without a special trip.

Above is a link to a pictorial post I put up on the tubing board showing how I made a "Chopper Cart" for my tube by cutting down a golf cart. I am thinking that something like that for the middle or rear of your yak would make life a lot easier. The big consideration is finding a golf cart sturdy enough to handle whatever weight you put on it. Maybe Tiger Woods has an extra he used for smuggling girls onto the course.
