A headlamp is good to have to see items that you're rigging, etc. There are lots of brands. Get a waterproof one. Also bring a set of spare batteries.

Its also a good idea to carry some other lights. A flasher is a great idea when you're traveling open water. Joey had one and when its on I can spot him wherever he is. We had Harbor Patrol come from a long ways off t check on us one night when we beached on a large rock to fish and wait for the tide.

Also I like to carry a 360 degree PFD light which I put in the elastic of my headlamp. When I turn it on I can be seen from all directions.

We have some navigation lights at the shop.
Also www.Seairsports.com makes kayak specific ones. Check them out, we'll probably carry them in the future.

Thanks cam, even though I know how Joey feels I won't speak for him but I will for me. Its all about helping. I try to help any way that I can. I certainly don't have all the answers or even most of them. When people call me an expert I cringe. I like to say that I'm a bit further up the learning curve than most and behind some others. I learn new things about this sport every day.

Our business came about because there wasn't a reliable place to get the right stuff for this sport. When I started out the information, via the internet, was available, but was specific to other parts of the country and heavily slanted towards southern CA. Our waters are very different and the equipment, methods and sometimes the kayaks we use are different. So not only is it our goal to supply regional information and products but to provide the support the sport desperately needs. We have several advisor/consultants, one of which has been kayak fishing since 1983 on the left coast.

Last fall I was contacted by an editor of Field & Stream and interviewed for some articles that they're doing on kayak fishing. He is a kayak fisherman and has done quite a bit of research on the sport. He knows what's out there. When I launched the site I got an email from the editor and he congratulated me on the site and told me how desperately the sport needed something like what we plan on doing.

We're certinly going to make our share of mistakes, and we've made plenty already, but our intentions are the highest. TO help people get into the sport the right way, meet others who participate, and offer things like trips, etc. that require #s to be successfull.

So we, of course, value your good wishes, opinions and business.

Magilla, actually the good people here at NE told us that we could talk business since we advertize. We just try to limit it since this isn't our sandlot. We don't feel that its appropriate to say too much so we don't offend people.
