North Wales Kayak Fishing
A few simple safety ideas
Here are a few simple safety ideas that we can all do before we get in the kayak
They cost hardly anything and can be very effective and aid in out safe return from a days fishing
safety is a big part of out sport lets all promote it as much as we can and not take it for granted .
it is important that if the coastguard has to come look for us that
we all do as much as possible to help his search the first thing we
should all do is leave a float plan with somebody i.e.
wife/girlfriend make sure she knows where it is pin it up on the
wall so it wont get mislaid .
On this float plan should be as much info as you can give.
if an emergency happened and your wife had to call the coastguard
he needs as much info as possible to aid the search its amazing how
many wife’s/girlfriends don’t know what the car registration number
is or if you carry flares or not below I have made a simple sample
of a float plan we should all be using them if you don’t want to
make one up your-self just copy and paste mine then print it don’t
forget to fill it out before you put it up and most of all show it
to the wife /girlfriend
