If you go shore fishing in north Cornwall you can now hire a lifejacket for the measly sum of £5 a day
This angler bought a lifejacket because of what we’ve been doing, he got into serious trouble in Cornwall last Sunday, and he is alive because he was wearing his lifejacket
Sounds to me like this angler was seriously lucky to get out of this alive

The obvious title after our day with the RNLI on Monday is that it was the biggest wake up call of my fishing life - which it was - but it was also a whole lot more
I wonder if or when we will get to the stage where we go into a tackle shop to buy a lifejacket along with our rods, reels, line and lures etc.?
It’s so damn easy to wear a lifejacket, but I need to remember how to actually wear it
Do any of you carry a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) for your shore fishing?

If I am going to start wearing a lifejacket for some of my shore fishing, it can’t be getting in the way
