The 2010 Angler Of The Year (AOTY) Tournament is a year long competition in which kayak anglers accumulate points per inch of eligible fish.  At the end of the 2010, the overall point leader is crowned the NWKA Angler Of The Year.  Follow the AOTY menu link at the top for more information.

A thread discussing the AOTY Tournament is here.  And you can pay via paypal by clicking this button.

We're currently putting together listings for various product categories.  Here are the product categories that currently have listings.

• PFD's

Note: this is  a work in progress and the PFD link is incomplete right now.  We're just putting something up to get the concept correct.  The intent is to have complete listing of a given product type with descriptions and pictures.  For a particular product listing, if there is a discussion in this forum, there will also be a link back to that discussion.

I have been seeing these ads on the TV for a while now.
 I have sent an inquiry as to the suitability of these use on a Yak. Waiting for response.
 What do Y'all think?

Not sure I would depend on such a system considering the other equipment drawing from the same electrical source (FF/GPS, lights, etc.), or are you loadin extra batteries?

they have the usual-plug into the 12 vlt supply on motorcycles and a 7 vlt battery type as well.
 I am asking them about the use "on the water", we'll see what they have to say.
 I would like trhat iedea for cold days above the water in the wind.

maybe its me but batteries and water just dont seem like a good thing.. specially if i am wearing whats being powered by them and i get wet..

Another option for staying warm would be layers of polyproplene and fleece.. you can pretty much make almost anything out of fleece (ie.. pants, socks, shirts, hats )

Quicksilver westsuites makes a heated vest with its own battery pack.
Have never seen one but it looks like it would work good.  Here's a link to check it out.

 the company makes these garments for the military as well as the motorcycle industry. The literature on the site says they are good for riding in the rain.  I have asked about using them on the Yak, no reply as of yet.
 Besides, once you are in the water....no power. If Y'all can use batteries for fishfinders, clothing aint so far fetched.
