I'm a float tube fisherman, about to jump into this addiction..

so THANK YOU.. for compiling this list!!!


I'd add.. CAMERA/GoPro

:kayak-surfer:

Life jacket
 

GPS don't forget water,also of u get f in a really bad sit your radio.

Looks like u have it all covered.

[QUOTE=Vikingj;149117]Great lists but I have 2 more important things on my list that I haven't noticed above: 1) cheap hand held compass (when the fog rolls in and no gps)


Excellent point! I would never kayak fish without the compass,even on clear,bright sunny days. A pfd and compass will save you,the rest of the list is just an added luxury..........

Although I forget to use it, I always bring sun screen.

Just bought a hand pump at harbor freight for $5 with a three ft hose duct taped a weight to hold the hose in the water fills a gallon jug in a min

and a life raft just in case, can also serve as car pool buddy
 

great idea!! (unless the weight sinks the pump.. :biggrinjester: )

Based on last trips experience (smooth hound shark involved), more than one pair of pliers. I prefer the disposable Home Cheapo bulk pack, since they inevitably go over the edge.
Naturally, if I followed the "tie everything down you want to keep" rule, this wouldn't be an issue.

Isn't it amazing how easy fish kick things our of the kayaks?
