I put my wallet in a zip lock and then in a dry bag as well as my fish finder for launching and landing but just a ziplock alone never seemed to cut it for me. I keep my keys below deck in an empty tightly capped Gatorade bottle so just in case my keys should ever happen fall out they will float.

I like to bring my swimbaits out already rigged. I add a drop of super glue to my tails so they will stick to the led heads and I get a lot more mileage out of them. I don't like messing with superglue on the water so I b bring a lot of baits in the colors that produce best for me pre rigged on an assortement of different sized heads. That pretty much rules out ziplocks for my plastics.

I keep my GPS and Cell in a dry bag which basically designed as a super strong zip lock. I have been using that bag for about three years and I'm very pleased with. I really like the fact that I can use my GPS and Cell phone with out removing them from the bag.

Oh yeah my keys provide some safty floatation if I should happen to take on some water inside my hull. I made my gaff out of 2" PVC and usued a big trolling hook (the kind you would use on feather for trolling large tuna or marlin) The advantage of the double hooked gaff is that when you stick a fish (halibut especially) they it's very difficult for them shake the gaff. I use surgical tubing running from one hook over to the other in hopes that I will never have to find out how hard it is to shake that gaff. I also shot my gaff, my net and home made kayak cart with Good Stuff expanding foam so if they should ever happen to fall over board they will float. Just a few other of the tricks I have found. Like I said in my first post I went through a lot of trial and error. When I started Kayaking finding and catching fish was not always but usually the easy part because I had have been a fishaholic all my life and it came natural but I learned very quickly that I knew nothing about kayaking. I've come a long way but I figure I still have a long way to go.
