Kayak Fishing Checklist


Being prepared is an important part of kayak fishing.
Keeping this list of items nearby might help you remember the important safety items we need to have on board and hope we'll never use. Always be aware of the weather conditions and forcasts, bring plenty of water and food and make sure someone knows where you're going! Whenever possible, fish with friends, it's more fun and a lot safer! Feel free to send in more important checklist items for our kayak fishing friends and be safe!
