Re: rolled my yak
If what you are wearing out on the yak now, are not up to training in the bay, are they up to going out fishing inDrifta-X wrote: Who has a heated pool I can practice rolling my yak and remounting.
When we say it's BIG RED SEASON, we don't mean a big red blood stain on the bay,
GET YOUR LIGHTS ON + YOUR PFD'S.
Happy Sailing Fishing and keep blowing bubbles.

Re: rolled my yak
I don't want to wear a wet suit as I would not feel comfortable. And anything else when wet will be cold as he'll anyway.

If you are not dressed to survive an extended immersion, then you should not be out there on a kayak.Drifta-X wrote:I don't want to wear a wet suit as I would not feel comfortable. And anything else when wet will be cold as he'll anyway.
Best way to find that out, is to test your gear by practising and then see if you can last without getting to cold/hypothermic. If you are unable to train because you are getting cold, then what you are wearing is not going to protect you if you take a dunking, specially if you have trouble remounting.

Re: rolled my yak

but a custom kayak wetty (to fit my short fat body )was around $ 200 new
a 3 mm should be ok for an extended immersion down to waters at 10 deg just like of winter bay temps

after my unplaned swim kingfisher thought it was me that didn't feel the cold but in fact the wet suit was quite warm and it wasn't till 7.30 or later that I need to put some sleeves on we still fished till 11- 11.30 that nightkingfisher111 wrote:Good report Cheater, and thanks for a top night on the water. Have fished the area for quite a few years but had never seen an upside down Kingfisher anchored nearby. Conditions were pretty average and had me covered in all my spare layers by around 6.00pm. Cheater, still sporting a Tee shirt under his steamer feels no cold!
I also now use the wet suit for surf fishing as well I feel safer than wearing waders on the beach

Re: rolled my yak
G'day,
Glad to hear you're ok and you've got your phone replaced.
These types of incidents can only make you more prepared and ready for next time.
With the mobile, I keep mine in an OverBoard Pouch attached to my PFD.
It's waterproof, floats, and is clear on both sides so you can take photos, videos etc.
It also allows you to use all the usual functions such as swiping, talking etc.
One of my best investments (although not cheap at around $35) as my mobile also has GPS, a torch application, compass, etc. Prefer to have it attached to me rather than sitting in a dry bag in the yak.
Anyhow, take it easy.
Cheers.

Re: rolled my yak
X2 with the OverBoard Pouch. I mentioned this to Drifta on another forum, the one thing you must do with these type of pouch is test the integrity. Trap some air in the pouch do it all up properly and submerge it into a bucket. I found a small hole in mine (2 years old) but was able to successfully repair it with a bit of siliconBayside Kayak Angler wrote:G'day,
