Can't wait to go fishing? Slow down and take inventory

As fall is upon us, the water is changing, the motors are getting zapped by cool weather, and we still can't wait to get out on the water.  But, first things first.  During this transition into fall and winter, take inventory of your on-board safety gear, licenses, emergency supplies, tire pressure, etc.  It's also a good idea to throw in dry clothes and some Emergency Mylar/Thermal Blankets

It's great to be excited and enthusiastic, but not so great to be ill prepared.  There are many local marine shops or on-line provisioning stores to keep you, and your first mates, safe and warm this season.  For everything in one bag you may consider the Stansport Emergency Preparedness Kit An ounce of prevention...... you know the rest!

Just a friendly reminder from someone that has rushed and ended up out on the water without bug spray, sunscreen, water, band-aids, etc.  

Now, catch those fish!
