then you can lean all you want in that direction
when it is deployed....

To get the gear out of the tankwell, I just swing my legs over the side and sit sidesaddle. I fish that way a lot as well.

Believe it or Not
I found both of my lost rods! With and enormous effort from my neighbor GaryS. He wouldn't let me quit. I was more than ready to head back to the house and spend the afternoon with my other Bud, Weiser. Keep going, he said. OK. I feel like Mel Fisher!! The reels are full of sand, but that's no problem. Whoohooo!

Sounds like you learned a lot from this and I'm glad not by the extreme hard way. Everything could have been a lot worse. Finding those rods was pretty clutch. Good luck the rest of the season.

Safety Bump
I'm not sure if this subject has been covered
but what safety gear should you have on board
a Kayak
besides a flotation vest....
to be on the safe side?

I get a lot of strange looks, but I don't think it's because I fight fish sidesaddle.  |

Fred,looking at your before photo,keep your Pfd at least partially zipped at all times.It doesn't do much good when floating up behind you.

That's the before shot. While the PFD was buckled, I know it was not enough. I learn slow. When I went over, I bet I was in the water for 10 whole seconds. Didn't even lose my sunglasses. I zip it now, if I'd slipped through, wellllll.....  |
