Ok almost ready to go.... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

maui jim · 10-10-2012, 07:30 PM

Fish finder, glow sticks, 2 headlights in case one goes for a dip.
Big flashlight to scare away large boat heading towards you. Water, or gatoraid.
Quick reaction to smack annoying seal from jumping on your yak.
Know not to grab the morey eels they really dont like people out of the water.
Nor do sting rays for that matter...
Watch out for gooey ecky thing that somehow crawl into the hoop. Cound never figure those things out, and they do no taste like chicken.
And go with a friend...

VHF radio or phone is water proof case.. and floats!

a gaff or pole with a hook (my BB angler paddle worked wonders) to grab the rope in case your too far off target. that way you don't have to keep doing circles.

make sure you have a light constantly on while out. mine burnt out last night and it was a bit sketchy in the harbor.

wear your PFD.

also bring a light rod with some swimbaits or anchovies to soak between pulls

Fishing license, lobster card, watch out for sculpins, too, sure to ruin your night if you get stuck by one of those.
