I learned from tournament fishing and have carryed this over to my personal fishing. When the big motor is above idle speed EVERYONE on board my boat wears a PFD. I carry inflatables for everyone on board. When I am setting rods or working in the back of the boat in waves or heavy chop, I wear my PFD. During normal conditions, calm, sunny, using trolling motor, I don't wear one.
When my daughter is on board, I ALWAYS wear one. I can't keep her safe if I fall overboard!

And don't forget to hook your kill switch lanyard to you (if boat has one) !!
My kill switch lanyard is ALWAYS attached to my PFD ... even when the PFD is hanging up in the closet at home. Just a subtle reminder for me to always bring the PFD, and wear it when driving the boat.

i have an inflatable from BPS and put it on before I step in my boat and take it off when me boat is safely on dry land. anyone not having one on at all times while on the water is simply dumb .

I wear the vest type all the time if I'm by myself or with my two kids. I'll take it off when using the trolling motor at times when I'm with another adult.

If I am in the boat my PFD is on....and I have a rule that if anyone fishes with me they have to wear one.

Me as well. I still use the old, hot, annoying vest type. I like them in cooler fishing days as it breaks the wind to keep me warmer. If outboard runs vest is on. Passengers over 18 can decide for themselves on my boat.Originally Posted by CrappiePappy

I wear mine when running the outboard above idle speed, while fishing solo in freezing temps and when fishing below a dam in a tail race. Usually comes off when I shut down the big motor during nice weather.
