Inflatable PFDs? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

My luck, I would have a nice dry launch and then roll coming in in 3 feet of water. I would jump up and pull my kayak onto the beach all within 15 seconds then while on the beach with people already laughing, the tablet would desolve and KA BAM the vest would inflate while Im standing on the beach. LOL

I like the my PFD. I wear it all the time and its comfortable and like mentioned above, it has pockets and I use them.

JUST A THOUGHT... Im not real familiar with the self inflating PFDs but understand that if they get wet the inflate. I get all kinds of gunk on me while fishing and rinse my vest off with water after every use. I wonderif there is a way to make it NOT inflate during cleaning.
