Fishing solo yes/no ??? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I felt my prowler getting harder to paddle, checked the hatch, only to find 4-5 inches of water in the hull. A friend I was with had a bilge pump, I did not. I was 2 miles off shore from LJ at the time. I learned my lesson. I have since made many solo trips, but now I make sure I have all the safety gear:Phone, rope, bilge pump, mirror/reflector, lights, energy bars/snacks/water, first-aid kit. Just be safe. You learn an awful lot about yourself fishing solo.
