Are you prepared? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Glad you both are ok. A couple of days ago a young man went missing. Only 22 years old. Reportedly a wave knocked the two boaters in the water. One made it back to the bost to call Coast Guard...the other was never found. This was near Catalina Island. Both were not wearing flotation devices.

I stuffed my kayak with 6 pool noodles. It should at least keep the kayak from submerging completely. I have a diy livewell that can also be used as a bilge. Instead of letting it hang over the side pumping water into my bait tank I can grab it and place it inside to pump water out if necessary. I also bring floating fins for self rescue if required.
