How many of you have flipped your kayak? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

theluckypig · 08-22-2011, 08:05 PM

5 times...

once at my first baytubers tournament... at the bait barge, no waves, no reason, just dumbass tipped... as you may have seen don took photos...

once launching at terranea in a tandem... tried to get on knees first instead of butt first...

twice the same morning launching at la jolla on a tandem... wife refused to try again, went solo...

once landing at la jolla using my fishfinder as a gauge, jumped into what was supposed to be .5 feet ends up 5 feet... tangled in my paddle leash...

it'll happen again, but i think i'm better at it... whatever that means...

Rule 16: Never use paddle leash when launching or landing.

2 times - Both when LJS is packed on a Sunday afternoon. Pride neutralizer for shure. Those small sneaky waves have done it both times.

I know this one, but I hate trying to recover my paddle in case I crash and I lose my grip on my paddle
