Agree 100%. Really knowledgeable informant. I mostly fish the souther coast of Nc and south to Florida. My rule is, if it’s white capping, I don’t go. Having the proper gear and proper kayak for the situation is key. Stay safe!!!!

Lazy ass! 😅

Nice vid. I like my yaks long and now that I'm an old and damaged man i use pontoons. And yes you can still end up in the drink. Maybe next year i won't forget to drop by at the Rock Wall Turney. I could walk over and say hi. Take care and stay safe.

Congrats on your fishing 🎣 adventure 🚣‍♂️🚣‍♂️🚣‍♂️🚣‍♂️🚣‍♂️🚣‍♂️🙏🙏🙏🎣🎣🎣🐬🐬🐬🐬🦈🦈🦈🐟🐟🐟🐟👍👍👍👍👍

Good info Moo. Kayak fishing truly is therapeutic for me as well.

We kayak out of Depoe Bay, Oregon. We don't get many good days and the conditions can go bad super fast. It's not for everyone. Lots of good advice in this video

great info..!!

A very important video, good work MooMoo!

Hobie full electric trailer the works!!!! Sold it got a Gregor never looked back!!!!

I have to say the #1 most important piece of safety gear for me is a PFD...I don't fish the ocean, but lakes and rivers. I will admit I was bad about never wearing one...but almost never go out without it now...the key is to find one that fits you right and is comfortable to wear.

Love this video moo! Thank you for this

Great ambassador to kayak sport fishing. Nice coverage of safety and preventative danger. I love fishing my self. Hobie pa14 angler down under in Australia. Lost my hobie to fire. No one hurt. Now fishing in A seadoo fishpro trophy. Same rules apply to jetski fishing. Tight lines, safe fishing and sporting on the open waters. Enjoy your uploads.. 화이팅.....

👏 👏 👏

Kayak fishing is skilled. If a man can surf the mavericks we can absolutely most certainly go kayak fishing. Never approach wakes and swells horizontal.

13yrs army inf vets here with multiple combat deployments, yes fishing kayaking helps a lot with my PTSD and it relax me cause I’m not getting bothered.

Great video. Love watching your stuff, especially because you make the trek to Fort Ross. It's a hike, but well worth it. Would it be possible to have a conversation with you regarding the 2025 near shore regs? I'm having difficulty interpreting the regulations. Please lmk

Great safety video

Great tips. I sunk my kayak in alligator infested waters due to a hull hatch malfunction. I was with a buddy and we had radios with us. He helped me get the water out of my hull and we made it back to shore. We were both wore out.

Don’t check for cast

love it

The ocean is not trying to kill you. It's just aggressively indifferent to whether you live or die - one of my favorite quotes. Forgot the source 😂

Hey Moo this is Martin Mansera I’m on a new iPad. . I check the ocean ,the swell the wind and I most definitely will not go out on a rough day. Plus, always wear your PFD never go alone have a VHF radio to radio for help. If need be hopefully you don’t have to use it.. plus there’s a few more safety tips but you mentioned them. Thank you. Keep making these great videos Moo 🙌🏼🤗🤙🏼🎣

Outstanding safety summary for all ocean kayakers. Great job, Moo.

i get all those same benefits on my bassboat.

Awesome, comprehensive safety video Moo Moo. Thanks for putting it together.

Great information, Moo. Thank you for sharing.

very good info especially for new kayakers!👍

I remember a video of another kayaker towing another kayaker who's kayak was sinking. The sinking kayak had cracks on the scupper hole walls from repeated use of a kayak dolly, was taking in water.

Thanks for doing this video, you don't know how many lives this can save. There cant be too many safety videos. On those days that seem sketchy...they're are - not worth risking your life, calm days are just around the corner.

Essential info, thanks for sharing.

kayak fishing in the ocean can be dangerous like any ocean use whether is from a boat, or in he surf. best advise: pay attention, pay attention, pay attention. and be prepared.

appreciate the advice. I ordered two bilge pumps just now one for me and one for my brother we go out kayak fishing in the ocean a lot and i flipped my kayak once and he tried to help me and i accidently pulled him as well. He managed to get on his kayak and help me out but my kayak took in a lot of water and we did not have a bilge pump so i swam to the brake wall and just walked all the way back because my kayak was too heavy with water and was not stable. I told my brother to leave the kayak but he said "noway you're crazy that thing is expensive" so he tied it to his kayak and pulled my kayak to shore a very long way and from watching your video it clicked that i need those bilge pumps so thank you!

My friend flipped over at ocean cove on a windy day. Kayak started to float way and no one around to help. He was also wearing waders. He will not do it again. Lucky he was alive miracle of God.

Great and informative.

Paddle kayak is better for this kind of weather.

Well done! I kayak fish in cold whitewater rivers so we have a different set of safety concerns… actually what I do is too dangerous, everyone else should stay away (More fish for me buahahaha). Anyway good video Moo ☯️🙏

Kayaks are dangerous no matter how you look at it on the ocean. If you have a kayak stay to the lakes not the ocean.

nicee...

This goes under high visibility but don’t expect power boats to see you.

def great stuff Moo! Always good to consider the what can go wrong scenarios and way too many to list. Ie, I used to lanyard my poles then a surf reentry caused me to flip and those lanyards wrapped around me. Lucky to untangle but now I use foam around poles. Whatever your situation, always consider what can go wrong

I know it as the 7P's - Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

I don't get the no PFD crowd...

you forgot to mention having plenty of bananas on board to prevent starvation, especially during full moon when appetite increases by 76% for humans but drops by 5000% for fish. #TLA

Really good video Moo!!!

Keith ain't no buddy!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the Heroes on the Water shout out. Texas regional coordinator aka splashdown!

Congratulations thanks for sharing your video 🚣🏿‍♀️🚣🏿‍♀️🚣🏿‍♀️🚣🏿‍♀️🚣🏿‍♀️🚣🏿‍♀️🚣🏿‍♀️👍👍👍👍🐬🐬🐬🎣🎣🎣🎣🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🚣‍♂️🚣‍♂️🚣‍♂️🚣‍♂️🐟🐟🐟🐟

I'm watching Moo vids for breakfast? May it not be so but it is. I like your color coordinated tape on your rods and drysuit sleeves. You know me. Gotta look good when your fishin'! I get the boring part. It looked boring but beautiful, give or take a tug. I still daydream about a sail on da stealth but... Merry Christmas! See ya' on da wattah' at the appointed time!

We all need this. I want to buy a kayak, but am afraid of turning over. I guess start slow. Maybe lakes and river. Then short trips in calm bays Bodega and Tamales. And maybe Delta first. But it can get windy on the delta. I want a training wheel at first. Outrigger that is. Hahaha. Nice video. Nice to see, been some time

yes it is like mnany of us kayak fisherman
