Well, went out this morning in my yak, catching some bass and then hit a stump, and threw me off balance, then my other pole went into water as I tried to catch, went over in my sit on. That water is cold still here in Southern Indiana. life jacket inflated and brought me up, swam about 30 feet to bank, then had to get calmed down and swim back out for yak. Water was about 50 degrees, lost my 2 fishing poles and some tackle, will have to save up to replace them. about 300.00 worth of gear. Will try and get a big magnet to go back and try to find them
But the main thing is I was safe, and wanted to let everyone know, please wear those life jackets. You never know what may happen.
Be Safe in your Yaks this year.
