HI Have any of you had any experiance of the sea Will you take radio courses can you use a compass can you manage a anchor Will the coast guard know your out there Ive had boats and these are not even the bascics Its weird when that fog hits you and gets exciting when it kicks up a bit Stay safe stay alive Good luck

[egbertnobacon]

Do not buy a kayak on impulse! Visit a site such as www.anglersafloat.co.uk Ask lots of questions , get to some of the demo and safety meets , theres lots to learn but the rewards are great:clap:

i would love to catch any of those on my yak.:thumbs:

[soakingwet]

Don't forget those pictures are from the USA, you won't be catching stuff like that!

[spook]

Well i have worked on boats, shrimpers & trawlers, also i used to do lots of canoing incl white water. I just make boats now (Seahog). Also done my fair share of small boat fishing. so not a total novice.

Yeah, I've had experience of the sea. Yes I am taking a VHF course. Yes I can use (and have) a compass. Yes I can manage an anchor. Yes the Coastguard knows i'm out (and where and duration). I carry spare anchors, VHF, Compass, Flares, Drogue and wear drysuit and PFD. I have GPS/chartploter/fishfinder installed and catch far more than I ever did ashore or on the riverbank. I haven't had tope or conger yet but a lot of the UK kayak anglers have. These are all pics from the UK.

[spook]

And great pics they are. Was a bit thrown while scrolling down them and a Perch pic came up lol. I also like my river & lake fishing.

B*gg*r, and I was sure I could see Blackpool tower in the background of one of those shots . . . !
