VHF radio? (other safety gear you take?) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Vhf radio, water resistant or in a dry bag. I rarely use mine. But it's nice to have. Of course always wear a PFD. Finally, go with a buddy. Play it safe until you get the idea.

Other stuff:
Fish finder with gps, sun block, hat, whistle, water, food/snack, phone in dry bag, leash everything, keep your eyes open.... dont assume boats see you (yes they have to yield to you but why take that chance), know your mlpa and other regulations on species and size.

Have fun!
