I always advise a small stow away spare paddle.
First aid kit.
Cheap spare PDF in the hatch (good rescue item).
If you're old like me a re-entry stirrup.
small hank of 1/4" or larger rope.

Might want to consider something 2 P N 2 for times when you can't get out or leave the spot your fish-N.

Think I may just start wearing Depends in the winter time when things are hard to get to! rolfmao In the summer time an empty Gatorade bottle does the trick. Just be sure its not the one you are drinking out of! barf

This thread on TKF shows the stir-up re-entry method. Remember, you need to practice deep water re-entries frequently so that you're comfortable doing so. Of course you should wait until the water warms up.

Paddle, Beer, lifejacket, whistle, beer, sunscreen, hat, fishing poles, beer, tackle, snacks, 360* light, cooler, and beer.

That's a list a friend gave me.
