Going to the bathroom in a kayak.
I never cease to be amazed at this group. You guys are worth every minute wasted reading this stuff. Someone REALLY ought to swipe some of these threads and publish them in a book. I promise it'd sell. Oh, and speaking from experience........ ALWAYS check those duck blinds for yellow jackets prior to assuming the position. Aint NO way to be cool doing a gainer half naked into the water.

I have a Ride, have you ever seen the giant scupper hole in those?
All you have to do is slip your shorts off. Slide forward off the seat, dangle your legs off either side of the yak and center yourself over the scupper hole!
If it doesn't fit through the size of that scupper you have other problems.

Now that's talent. The careful aim you must have is world class. Olympics 2008?
Not really a kayak related post but this sure seems like the thread to post this. It's a classic from the wmi site.
Talk about a bad day.
While fishing in a cove that had lots of houses close by and a few boats within sight, the ol' mud-shark started barkin'.
Bad breath too.
No big deal I thought till it crept out and drew a picture in the bottom of my skivees.
In panic I hopped up onto the back deck, covered myself with a life-jacket, popped open the livewell lid and dropped ol' muddy right into the port box.
Pretty slick I thought till I realized I had no squatwipe.
Well, my skivs were ruined anyhow so I used what was left of them. I put a few bullet weights in the skivs, tossed them over the side and gave them a good salute as they sank slowely toward the bottom.
While I was digging through a storage box for a minnow net to release ol' muddy I heard a boat pull up.
NO KIDDING, it was THE MAN!
He asked how I was doin' and I told him I was just "hangin'". He went through the usual routine, life jacket, fishing license, etc..
Then he asked if he could look in my live-well.
I stuttered in disbelief that I hadn't caught any fish and said "you don't have to look in there do ya"?
He got real suspicious and a little snotty. I took offense to his attitude and said alright, then pointed to the port live- well lid.
He opened the lid, stared in for a moment, slammed the lid down, looked up at me and said,
"what the HELL is that"?
I said "sir, that is a mud-shark".
I'll put it on the rule if you want but I'm pretty sure it'll measure".
The scowl on his face was PRICELESS!
He hopped out of my rig, mumbled that he would write a ticket for that if he could and tore off.
Laughing myself to tears I took the minnow net and released ol' muddy over a brush-pile.
I "hung out" in the cove for a while longer and went home. That live-well is pretty comfy.
I may just have to install a magazine rack in my boat. LMAO!

I fish saltwater here in the west so I can't just wade and "jettison the cargo", usually the beaches are covered with people too. So I don't think they'll appreciate the raw sewage washing up.
There's no duck blinds either, and even if there was - what about the poor hunters that have to use the blind next season?
Also can't go between the million dollar homes and yachts, those rich people will call the Coast Guard so quickly.
Thanks for the reply everyone.

When I fish, I love a good breakfast in the morning with plenty of coffee to warm me up. Naturally on the party boats I go to the restroom maybe even 3 times before we finally hook up with some fish.
So you guys talking about being out there for 6 hours, how do you do it?
Thanks.
DEPENDS (LOL)

My oh My, How low has this board sunk while I"ve been absent? All the way to number two and in public too. Sounds like a good case for Metamusil and about eight prunes every day and before you know it you"ll all be a little more regular and can skedule the big event each day. This should prevent all those duckblind and cathole interruptions (or erruptions, whichever applies) of the fishing and paddling skedule. There are a few shortcomings to this plan until after the first big event and Barrys advise may really hold something (for a change!!!)
