Kayak Fishing Checklist
by Brian Long

Kayak fishing will put your organizational skills to the test. Having all your necessary gear ready when you are on the water will make the whole experience much more enjoyable. Safety is your main concern - bringing safety items on each trip should not be optional.

People have different needs and bring different items to fish on their kayak. The list below is just what we find to be a bare minimum. Print this checklist out and hang it in your garage to use as a reference.

If you have additional items you like to have with you, add them to the list.
