LJ 6-28 am quiet

Launched at 4:45. Bait was pretty consistant on the inside kelp. While making bait, I heard a "boom" in the distance......for the second time in 2 weeks, I saw someone's bait tank catch on fire That was the most exciting part of the day. lol

I think LJ is in a transition mode right now or the full moon is playing games. I'm not surprised about the bait tanks going up in flames! Some of these yaks got more wires in them than a bell helo.lol

He kept paddling like it never happened

The one I saw go up in smoke last week, was a solar powered bait tank. That one sent up a plume of black smoke.

I've never seen that. I've heard of pumps and batteries failing or shorting out but not exploding. Wild.

I suspect it might be more a function of the darn squid. Seems like the big ones are still hanging around.

lollol
I haven't seen that one yet, but always worried about it with electricity and salt water and short circuits very likely. I always wonder about internal wiring, you may not notice until it's too late .

I can't think of anything causing an explosion in a kayak electrical system other than getting saltwater into a battery, or, more likely, a short circuit over-heating a battery that is housed in a sealed box or bag. It wouldn't take much heating to pop a waterproof battery bag or a box. You have to keep water out of the battery container and always have a fuse on the battery cable. Any significant heat source on a plastic boat could be a very bad thing.
I guess I should start installing a CO2 flooding system in the electrical distribution compartment on my kayak

The squid came through fast and furious last night (Wed) around sunset. I was out of bait and using a rapala with enough hooks to keep a squid on. Other guys were getting bit on live bait, but those single hooks will almost never keep a squid on long enough to see it. Earlier, the split-second fights with micro sharks and log cudas kept me retying all afternoon.

You should also drag a dingy behind you in case your boat sinks.

Gloom, despair and agony on me. Each dark expression, excessive misery. If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all. Gloom, despair and agony on me.

I reckon I wasn't the only one having a challenging day out there.

Do you have room ? Come on now, An explosion on a kayak? An explosion does not happen when saltwater comes in contact with a 7amp power source leads, hooked up to a bait tank. This kayak had alot more going on than we know about.lol

It was so quiet out there today I almost fell asleep a couple times. At least it was abeautiful day, and the water was so clear, you could see down forever.

The exploding kayaks scared away all of the fish.lol

Does anybody seriously think that I would install a CO2 fire suppression system on my kayak?

That would have been me yelling because I don't think he saw it at first, although the orange glow should have tipped him off!lol. It was a great idea to try and dry off after the wet launch, but I think I will stick to the air drying method for now.

He was just complaining that the pump would go on and off intermittently, and then all of a sudden!

Unfortunately that was about all the excitement I saw today.

If you buy the model kayak that I bought this year you'll always have enough water sloshing around inside the hull so that fire won't ever be a problem!
