Authorities have identified the body of a kayak fisherman who drowned at Lake Marion over the weekend. It's a stark reminder of the importance of a PFD.⁠ ⁠ In the kayak photos shared to Facebook, you can see a Vibe Kayaks Sea Ghost 130 partially submerged with lots of gear still strapped down. Among the gear visible is the anglers life jacket strapped to the back storage area under a fishing rod. The Orangeburg County Coroner’s Office confirmed with Outdoor Life that the angler wasn’t wearing one at the time of death. One of the worst parts about this incident, and others like them, is that there’s a possibility it might have been prevented. While fishing and boating are inherently risky, this shows the importance of wearing your life jacket no matter what vessel you’re in.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #kayak #kayaking #kayakfishing #kayakbassfishing #fishing #fishingseason #fishingtrip #lifejacket #pfd #outdoorlife #outdoors⁠ Story by: derekhorneroutdoors
