i cover well with sunscreen BEFORE hitting water in yak.
i NEVER take sunscreen ON my yak.

(you want to TRULY "curse" your fishing, forget worrying about a banana.... just get some sunscreen on your hooks, lines, and/or baits.)

i always take (in the Bays and for Inshore outings):

long-nose pliers, folding knife, nail clippers (for trimming knots/line), fish finder & battery, net, water & food in small cooler, big sun hat, sunglasses, long sleeve shirt, long nylon pants, beach slipper shoes (to protect feet while pedaling mirage drive), inflatable seat cushion, life jacket, whistle, camera, head-band lamp (for dusk, dark times), portable FM radio (i have to have rock & roll going, to last out there for my typical 8-12 hour outings).

i only take these items out, for Inshore fishing:

gaff, bait tubes or bait tank & battery, sm canned cat food (to use as "chum" IF i can't find macks for bait), cut squid (to use for bottom fishing IF nothing is biting on top water).

still never owned a VHF radio, but would take it out always, if i had one.
