This year I added more safety gear to by boat. I usually fish big rivers with heavy current. I have a tournament catfish boat (20' Deep V) and was thinking if I ever fell out of that boat fishing alone, how would I get back in. I added a quality boat ladder. I always wear a PFD and also added a ring buoy that is mounted where it can be used quickly. I also added a electric fog horn and a better LED stern light. My boat is already lit up nicely with Blue Water LED's inside and out along with side navigation lights at the bow. As always I use Navionics mapping charts to keep me safe from danger areas and they sure help me catch more fish for sure. I took the Sea School Captain's OUPV 6 pack license course and it woke me up to being more safe on the water. Safety 1st on my vessel and hoping it is on yours. Tight lines guys!
