A fishing equipment checklist is essential for kayak fishing. Preparing for any kayaking trip usually involves a basic kayaking checklist, which primarily focuses on safety.
A kayak fishing checklist should begin with safety-related
items. Checklists for kayak anglers will also include important tackle and fishing-related gear.
The following example checklist includes a variety of equipment that may be needed
when kayak fishing
(all safety equipment is not listed):
rod-reel outfits
tackle assortment
bait
landing net
pliers
knife
line cutters
rag
fish bag

portable GPS
digital camera
cell phone
spare batteries

This checklist is only an example. In reality, each kayak angler will create
their own personal equipment list based upon their local fishing requirements.
