agreed
I view a PFD is like a paddle. Not an option.
Dressing for the water/weather is almost as important. If you are unprepared, the PFD will just make it easier to find your body. I generally wear waders and a drytop (sealed wrists, neck and waist) with the PFD over it or a wetsuit with the PFD if it's warmer.
There are several other safety items that I take as well as the fishing related items. I know that this isn't a kayak fishing site but it might not hurt to have a thread that lists the items that you shouldn't be without for the benefit of those thinking of getting into it.
It sure is a fun way to catch.
