So here is the deal... I am not going to lie that half the fun is fishing the big lake in the kayak. other boats or not, I have all the saftey gear as well as am visible 360 degrees. If one of the big boats runs me down then it was my time to go but karma is a bad bad thing. Now saying that.. I am not stupid enough to be in front of the heads during the weeknds, as well as to be trolling the channel on the weeknds. I plan on staying to the N or S of the pier heads other then to get out. It comes down to the law really... Kayaks have the right of way. If someone runs me down they coastguard/sheriff will know the boat name and description. Welcome to felonious assault charges. .
