Safety Gear Is Like AMEX..Don't Leave Home without ALL OF IT! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

OK, so I have been lurking on this site hoping there is not a killer bite going on while I am stuck in afghanistan, and I gotta weigh in on this one. I took a girl out to LJ about a month ago who actually posted her fish on the forum. She had kayaked maybe a couple of times before, like two times. No ocean experience.
I felt completely comfortable because she was in great shape and a strong swimmer. The first thing we did past the sets was to show her how to enter exit the kayak. Considering she must have a small bladder and she drinks a lot of water, it is a good thing. I swear she jumped in at least 14 or 15 times during the course of the day to pee. PFDs, have em, hell wear em if you want, whatever. But the must have is a comfort level in water and getting back on the yak, because if you spend enough time on it, you will end up in it.
