Today was a bit better, only lost a pair of pliers this time, as I opened the life jacket pocket I had them in and they fell out, bounced off the kayak and into the water

However I didn't catch any fish today. Was going to go off the coast of Mission Beach but my rudder cleat broke off so I had to paddle to the shop I bought my kayak at to get it fixed, so afterward I just fished in Mission Bay. Didn't catch anything, was out there about 5 hours.

Anyone have tips for dealing with drift without an anchor? I was drifting(in the opposite direction I wanted to be in) all day today.

Not sure if I will go out tomorrow. I am pretty tired. This takes a lot out of you. We'll see in the morning. Going forward will probably just make this a once a week thing where I go early in the morning.

Sorry I have a pedal rig so don’t have issues with drift but I used to have a quick deploy Cajun anchor system I’d use. Basically a light weight pole of some kind and I had a bungee that I attached a spring clamp to one side and my yak the other. I would stick the pole in the mud and then clamp the bungee to it. Would be easy to unclamp if I hooked a bull and needed to be free.
