I have a sit on top kayak so no bailing required. Just take the bungs out, water levels at a couple of inches on the sit on part. I suppose a bailer might be useful if the hull was holed but bailing out through a tiny hatch might prove tricky. Actually fishing from a kayak is statistically one of the most dangerous activities you can do. Kayak touring on the other hand, is statistically much safer. I'd hazard a guess that anchoring contributes to this difference and perhaps that some anglers go further offshore. Personally I don't go far. I reckon cold water is the biggest risk. I'll give that serious thought one temps drop below 12c.

. Actually fishing from a kayak is statistically one of the most dangerous activities you can do. Oh well. It's been nice knowing you. Regarding your later comments could it be to do with getting really large fish stuck on the hook and said fish pulling the boat over then eating the human?

Have you been watching low budget horror films after dropping a tab of acid?

Well actually, one or two porbeagle sharks have been hooked and landed in Cardigan Bay over the past couple of summers. A little south of here though, to be honest. While they are fish eaters I don't see why they shouldn't take a good chunk out of a human, if the opportunity presented itself.

I do like low budget horror films but have not watched one recently. The last one was Wrong Turn in Tamil on YouTube. Class film.

Another possible option would be to find disposable items such as car brake rotors and just double the line and leave the thing behind. They are quite good mushroom anchors actually. It depends of course how regularly you want to do it and how many rotors you can get your hands on. The old tyre and brakes places often just discard the old rotors. They weigh them in because they are worth good money in scrap!!! You are naive Andrew, we made thousands from scrap over the years

They closed down now maybe because of them missing a trick or perhaps Docklands was too tiring and exhausting? ETA how much do you think a rotor is actually worth bearing in mind it is light iron? Not much really is it. Quick Google says £60-£100 a ton so let's say a 10kg rotor is 75p. I suppose it could work out but transport costs, getting a tame pikey and general fucking around its going to be easier just to leave it by the kerbside.

It isnt Ron Hull was next door we weighed in batteries, engines affer breaking them down as alloy is worth a lot it took minutes a day and earned us plenty so why wouldnt you? Its money in our pockets and not a Pikeys, some catalysts are worth over a hundred quid can you afford to throw that away?

Yes but I was just referring to the brake rotors.
I don't know how good a cat would be as an anchor as have never tried it.

Are Brake Rotors just an expensive version of a brake disc btw? I'm just thinking of some of the elderly on here who might be confused with new fangled terminology. Going Forward.
