I thought the same thing. I’ve been out in my kayak many times in that area. It’s pretty easy to lose track of time, especially if the fish are biting. The trip back in is usually done at a leisurely paddle. It’s easy to end up 4 or 5 miles offshore looking for fish. I hope he had a life jacket on board. That kayak he was in is hard to tip over, but anything can happen. Hopefully this one has a happy ending. Better safe than sorry, it’s advisable to tell someone a float plan if you’re kayaking alone- maybe he did that and told his wife he would be back by 1:00 or something.

I love fishing but my back would say frick that, I hate being out for more than an hour or so in a kayak. I’ve only ever stuck to creeks and ponds though. Would never lose sight of the beach if I was kayaking in the ocean

Kayaking in the ocean is retarded.... sorry but i said it.

There are so many creatures way bigger than a tiny kayak in the open ocean that are very hungry. Just saw a video the other day on YouTube of a tiger shark slamming into a kayak nearly knocking the guy on it into the water.

Not to mention if a storm comes in out of nowhere. It's just not a smart thing to do....at all.

Hope they find him though. Being stranded in the ocean is no joke.
