A friend of mine finally got a kayak and I realized if I waited for our schedules to click, I'd be lucky to get out once a month. I'd like to thank you all for all the input, I really appreciate it.
So its just like anything else. Check and double check your equipment. Bring "just in case" gear (radio, cell, PLB etc.) and even then $h!t happens but if you planned for the worst you should be okay. I'm self employed so my schedule is all over the place. I'd like to get out with an experienced guy/gal to help with my learning curve. |

I felt my prowler getting harder to paddle, checked the hatch, only to find 4-5 inches of water in the hull. A friend I was with had a bilge pump, I did not. I was 2 miles off shore from LJ at the time. I learned my lesson. I have since made many solo trips, but now I make sure I have all the safety gear:Phone, rope, bilge pump, mirror/reflector, lights, energy bars/snacks/water, first-aid kit. Just be safe. You learn an awful lot about yourself fishing solo.

I have owned a PLB for years for hunting and boating/kayak'n,
Never have deployed it but it's peace of mind is pricless, but I have just sent it in for battery service and check up. ![]() The units now are much smaller and less expensive than before, well worth the investment. Along with a good life insurance policy which makes the wife happy. ![]()
