    Waterproof Container

    For $10 or less you can get a waterproof container for your cell phone/wallet/keys/camera. Even tupperware will work much better than zip lock bags.

    I picked up a water tight box from Bass Pro for $4. Similar items can be found at Walmart, Dicks Sporting Goods, LL Bean, REI.

    I never bring bug spray. Sounds like you've got everything you need. I picked up a used fish finder for $20 off of Craigslist in February and love using it while on my kayak. It really helps trying to identify water depths and possible structure to fish.

    Best Wishes.

      That's what I pretty much carry, Capt'n.

      I'd add a first aid kit. On one outing I accidentally cut my finger, and wished I had a band-aid or tape. Oh, one more thing, a compound lever wire cutter (e.g., Knipex), not a regular diagonal wire cutter. The diagonal cutter is not quite strong enough to cut impaled hardened hooks. I've seen people use diagonal cutters and struggle and fail to cut an impaled hook/lure off some guy's chin.

        Jeeze, when you list it all out it seems like a lot! But most of it stays inside the kayak.

          I know this should be obvious, but unless you plan on using that leader material as a hand line a rod or two would be handy

            I would recommend a whistle. At REI you can get a good whistle with a thermometer and compass built in.

            I also bring binocs so I can track birds.

              two rods never enough

              Only 2 rods? With so many cool reels available now, you "Need" to cary at least 4 rods to be prepared for everything. At least that's my excuse to buy more outfits.

                'paddling gloves'?

                ps - the 'deep' bucket for the center well is a nice option. i mostly keep jigheads/bodies there. but it can hold minnows too (at least in wintertime).
