Death wish?

Lots of guys fish offshore in kayaks. I see a lot of flags behind the guys in the youtube videos. Maybe not as much boat traffic offshore as the main lakes in MO.

It shouldn't be that way though.   It's actually a sad fact that everyone is just expected to accept that.    Even considering that the law is on their side.  

You imply that boaters aren’t paying attention or going to fast.   I can accept that in some cases.  But I’m talking about legitimate accidents where a little safety equipment might help.  So a buggy flag will spook the fish but a 21’ bass boat with trolling motor and sonar pinging doesn’t?   My point is I don’t want to hurt anyone.  I give them the wide birth they deserve.

If a powerboater runs over a guy in a kayak......then YEAH, that's exactly what I am "implying".

Isn't the idea of kayak fishing to be STEALTHY ?   

Cars and motorcycles on the road can be any color, but watercraft has to be bright pink or hunter orange, and have flags attached?

I just think some safety equipment wouldn'tdn't hurt anyone.  Accidents happen.  That's why they're called ACCIDENTS!

I knew when I first replied it would go this way.  Carry on..

Extremely.   Every time I sit down in the boat.  Pfd too.   Even when it’s hot and the river is low.  Carry a spare for buddies too.

Good man!  I'm proud of ya. 

Wish I could say the same. I need my @$$ kicked up between my shoulder blades.

Explain to me how you could get that posterior up between your skinny shoulder blades. Just kidding Wrench.
