Think i've desperately needed to take a slash maybe twice in 6+yrs of yak fishing, it's the Hobie that does it, all that lower leg action gets things pumping. If you were a paddler you'd never have these problems with the lower half of your body frozen numb half the time from lack of movement...
Bet ya wont be saying that when you get to my age sonny :lol: :lol:

Sounds like you need one of these Wokka.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm03Dgu_yXA

Mirage Drive for me too, it's only water.

I'm with ratfish, as a paddler I haven't found the need to go when in yak.
Before I go out I make sure I have a good leak at home, first thing in morning and DO NOT have that cup of coffee. If you really need a drink just take a sip to wet the mouth when yr on the yak . You can rehydrate later.

The aquayak is so small that if I look at a wave wrong it'll slop in and I'm sitting in the wet, so If I absolutely needed to I would just do it , I wear those sports tights and nylon shorts and after 5 minutes they'll be rinsed clean anyway.

before you go out, draw a face on it, that way if people spot it hanging out you can tell them its a southern pink eel that you caught :up:

I want to see you explain that one to fisheries when they measure it, "honest it was legal when I landed it, must be shrinkage..."

Serious, why don't you jsut jump into water, pee then jump back on :P... If people in teh swimming pool do it, why can't you yakers do the same :P.. That way, you don't need to hid you peeing, and it is well disposed of.

No Tube, no bottle, no nappy, and definitely no need plastic bag with rubber band.......
Fishing is just like Accounting .... it is all about Optical Illusion ...............
