What Do You Think? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You do a morning session out of La Jolla and the launch is easy with manageable waves. Then it is time for you to re-enter the waves to land.

1. How do you protect your fish finder on a re-entry? You could re-enter many times and stay upright but what about that one time you flip the yak? Dunking your fish finder in salt water just doesn't sound like a good idea since they can cost $$. What do you do to protect your fish finder? What do you think?

2. The Hobie bait tank battery compartment seems to be just a lid that is held on with a bungie cord. It definitely does not look waterproof or secure if you do capsize. Do those of you that have a hobie bait tank remove the battery prior to re-entry? What do you think?

Thanks.
