1st kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Ricsen · 08-25-2014, 09:31 PM

Welcome to the forum. In addition to what has been mentioned, a small first aid kit with items to treat puncture/knife wounds can come in handy. Congratulations on your new kayak. Hope you enjoy it and catch loads of fish.

I always keep a pair of wire cutters with my first aid kit in case i get hooked.

So besides all the safety gear, How about fishing gear, leashes, carts/crates, etc???

Some other things I have added to my list when I go out...
Paddle plan letting significant other know where you are paddling out at
Minimum size for targeted fish...know the regs for halibut, bass etc
What the tides are doing, trying to paddle against the current at sd bay is an experience!!!
Hydration and food
Take a dump before you go out!!
Sunscreen

I always let the wife know where i was gonna be when float tubing the harbors.

I'm pretty up,to date with fish sizes, and mostly just catch, snap a pic, and release.

Tides; I'm always looking at tides (tide charts/tide watch/surges) because of work; assistant dock aster at al Larson bait boat shop.

+1 on taking a dump before going out 😎😎

Where are you located? Get to know some people near you to pick their brains on rigging.

And for home safety, make room for another, longer kayak.
