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

I had a recent trip where I ended up with over 3" of water in my PA...I guessed about 15-20 gallons...120-180 pounds! the water all came in through the rear hatch. the bait tank was not draining out through the scupper cleanly. I didn't notice until I was really tired trying to get back in against a tide...

like you, I suddenly realized that much of the emergency gear i carry is not going save the yak, just the people. That said, i don't need all that empty space in the hull for anything, so now its full of pool noodles.
