What are your "Must Have" items when going out kayak fishing
I know this is something we all do, however for some of the newbies out there getting into this sport, or fishing period I thought maybe if we all listed some of the "Must Have" items that we take with us, it may help others.

PFD
paddle
FF
gaff(bay and ocean, you never know what you will catch)
seat
whistle
knife
pliers
braid line cutters
bait tank
sunscreen
radio VHF
sunglasses
hat
Obviously the fishing gear I will need or use
waterproof cell phone case
pump in the event I'm taking on water

If I think of more I will list them. Looking forward to seeing what you all post up.

Jimmy, I think you have it covered and yes, leashes for everything! Not a matter of if but when. You will get wet!

So far I have been lucky not to go in, but I'm sure one day it will happen. I have a paddle leash attached all the time, as well as everything else is leashed. If you don't want to lose it, leash it.

I also have a refillable air horn that I picked up from Cabela's a couple years ago! Refillable with a bicycle pump you can get a few blasts to create a couple S.O.S.'s
Just hope I never have to use it!

Unfortunately I don't use it on every trip, but often I find a game clip is pretty helpful.
