Super User Montanaro Posted February 21, 2015 Super User Posted February 21, 2015 When fishing as a non boater, the boater is responsible for having a pfd for non boater correct? Is it usual for a non boater to have his own pfd he brings with him? Quote

Dypsis Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I joined a club this year and while I was told I wouldn't need my own jacket (as everyone usually has an extra) I went and purchased a vest so I would be sure to always have one. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted February 21, 2015 Super User Posted February 21, 2015 Our club requires everyone to bring their own. Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted February 21, 2015 Super User Posted February 21, 2015 I think that it is a good idea to have your own. That being said, I generally have a couple of extra ones in the fishing truck. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted February 21, 2015 Super User Posted February 21, 2015 I would go out and get your own. Fishing as a co-angler this year and being prepaired with your own gear will show you are serious about being there and not expecting them to furnish you a life jacket. Quote
curtis9 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I'd recommend getting your own. You never know what your boater may have. Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted February 22, 2015 Author Super User Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks for the opinions fellas. I was planning on getting one but I wanted to hear what others had seen/experienced. Quote
Brnnoser6983 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I always stock my boat with enough pfds as people I can hold. Lucky I only have a 14 ft. The holds 3.. but I feel it's my boat and my responsibility for the safety of those on board. Quote
Basseditor Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Bringing your own makes sure it fits. I have several life jackets in different sizes so I can get a good fit when wearing light or heavy jackets. The goal is to save your life. Don't leave it up to someone else. Quote
