Splash Jacket Recommendation

[dsafety]

Last year, I kept a total of two fish, both small yellowtail. (I release almost everything). Assuming these fish were ten pounds each, with about 3 pounds of usable meat, I figure that my fishing license cost me about $7 a pound.

Of course, if you want to really calculate the cost of my fish, you would have to add in the new kayak, rods, reels, line, lures, and a host of other expenses. With those costs in mind, my several dinners cost me over $300 a pound, not including wine.

On the other hand, the satisfaction that this hobbie provides me is, as the commercial says... priceless.

You have to calculate the pounds of fish released also. You had the option to harvest, but declined. These pounds have low cost and high value................

Should I include the weight of the seals?

Welcome to the world of fishing! $ 300.00 a pound is cheap compared to someothers expenses.

Waterproof, Breathable Jackets in Dark Blue for $40. My fist one held up to backpacking, camping, long range boating, and kayaking to the tune of about 200 "wearings" before I bought a new one (and, before it wore out, by the way). Was still fully waterproof when I bought a new one. Zip up front with zipper flap, taped, ovelapped seams, hooded and lightweight.
