Essential Safety Gear
Out on the water, confidence is cool — but safety is legendary. Whether you’re chasing yellows off the kelp, slow-trolling the bay, or running wide on the Sea-Doo before sunrise, the ocean doesn’t care how dialed your setup is. Conditions shift. Gear fails. Weather turns. That’s why smart anglers treat safety gear like tackle — essential, not optional. From life jackets and marine radios to personal locator beacons and first-aid kits, the right equipment keeps a great day from turning into a bad story. Fish Bueno is about good vibes and tight lines… but getting home safe is always the real trophy.

ACR ResQLink 400
SOS Personal Locator Beacon with GPS
This little brick is your “well… this just got real” button. No subscriptions, no guesswork — just a direct distress signal with your location when you truly need help. Hopefully never used. Absolutely worth carrying.
Cobra Handheld Floating VHF Marine Radio
Phones are great — until you’re offshore, wet, and staring at “No Service.” A handheld marine radio keeps you connected when it actually matters. Weather shifts, unexpected drift, or just calling out to a buddy.
Waterproof First Aid Kit
A waterproof first aid kit is one of those items you hope you never need — but you’ll be grateful you packed. A sealed first aid kit can turn problems into minor inconveniences — so you can patch up, reset, and get back to the bite
