Holy Hyperventilation batman,  two very informative articles, thanks for the link. 
So if you practice dunking in cold water will the shock lessen,  will you get used to the cold and therefore increase your chance of survival ?

Good to know there’s some fish willing to bite.  Looks like the water will be muddied up again this weekend after the rains.    How big is that guy?  nice selfish (fishing selfie)

Thanks for the report,  I have yet to go in the “big boy water”  I am slowly accumulating everything I need.  Im curious of a few things.  Did you practice self rescue before this,  also what thickness wetsuit do you have.  Now im off to searching youtube “ Trying to get out of wetsuit “

Are you looking for new or used?

Used is ok,

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Napa river report
« on: February 09, 2017, 09:11:12 AM »
So I finally got a kayak, prowler 13 (thanks mark) and I got to say why I didn’t do this sooner. I’ve taken it out twice off the napa river. Did some trolling and lots of plugging while listening to muddy waters for a skunk, but still had lots of fun being on the water.  Now I can start consuming vast amounts of kayak paraphernalia. I got the pfd and wasn’t as bothersome or restricting as I thought I would be. It felt like a warm hug of safety.  Few thoughts: The long butt on the 8.6 rod I use for plugging from shore is not conducive for sitting in a kayak. I also realized that no matter how light the yak is I still need a cart. Hopefully the next report won’t be a skunk.

This is a very important topic, as "dress for immersion" is known to be a steadfast rule for responsible kayakers.

I see talk in this thread about not wanting to or intending to get wet - that is a dangerous place.

None of us want to or intend to get wet, but we all know that if shit really gets bad out there - weather, gear failure, body failure, wild animal... - if it gets serious and we are in the water then we need to have dressed for immersion, or we have a good chance of dying.

Dressing for immersion means being in the water for more than a dunking or wash cycle.  I feel that the only responsible way to assess how to properly dress for immersion is to look at it like I've described here - what will save your ass when you do end up in the water for 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes or even more? 

Drysuits are great, but they don't offer enough insulating properties to keep you warm when you're in the ocean at 50 degrees or so. 

Wetsuits do offer the protection, but it's not that comfy sitting in a wet wetsuit all day.

I wear a wetsuit under my drysuit much of the time.  Since the wetsuit doesn't get wet it's nice and silky and dry against my skin.  The drysuit blocks the elements as well as the fish slime and bait!

What we don't want to do in this sport is get complacent regarding what we wear and what we are really prepared for.

End of soapbox.  :smt001

Execellent  post. From reading the old safety threads ,  "dress for immersion" is one of the things that stuck in my head.
