Safety first - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

A big part of being prepared is having the gear/tools you need when things go bad. Another part is having the knowledge and confidence to help your self or a buddy. The time to try your first kayak righting and remounting isn't when the wind has come up, it's way cold, and you're by your self 3 miles off the point. How many of us have practiced righting and remounting even in calm water? How many of us know how to work with a partner to drain a flooded kayak? There are simple things we can learn to make kayaking safer with out adding any gear to our yaks. Mike
