waders and safety - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The waders are big. If you fall overboard and can't get back in because they're full of heavy water, then you can always shrug out of them, climb back into your boat, pull the waders up after the fact, and then keep fishing if it's warm out. More likely than not, the wading belt will trap air the waders (if it's on correctly) while you bob like a cork. You're not gonna drown because waders.

Make sure you buy a splash jacket to wear during surf launches. Take one or two shots across the bow and the waders full of water will ruin your day.
