After a short delay, coinciding with the release of a water wise article the results of the most recent poll are in. The poll asked if readers if they always wore a lifejacket/PFD, it focused on outcomes such as always, never, occasionally and when required (By law). Its great everyone shared information on the topic of wearing PFD's, especially the 0% of voters who 'No, never' wear them.
It was refreshing to note that while poll numbers were a little down the majority 72%always wore a lifejacket when kayak fishing. From this we can gather that it simply is an integral part of the everyday kayak fishing kit. The remainder of the percentages included 9% voting for donning occasionally while 18% mentioned they only wore one when required to by law.
