Must have boat fishing gear

[keeperreaper]

Load up on all the safety gear first. Redundant systems and the such. Gumby suits and a raft. I carry a raft, gumby suits 2 gps systems, radar, epirb, iPhone with another gps, and weather radar, submersible handheld vhf, extra flares, extra hand held horn, plenty of water and a ditch bag to name a few, plus water staining dye. The dye makes it easy to be spotted in the water. I'm sure if you asked everyone who drowned or nearly drowned they wished they carried more safety gear. After all that is bought then start on the fishing gear. Respect the ocean and its immense power.
