    I have wondered this myself. Not ever fishermen and boater wear their life jackets at all times. Everyone knows where the life jackets are stored, yep in the compartments. If a boat were to wreck what good do the life jackets do in the compartments. Why do we even have to have life jackets on the boat.

    Dissel, we all know the answer to this of course, and that is to wear our lifejackets the whole time while on the water.

    Re: Life Jacket Laws

    How many people besides the op have been ticketed or warned about this by the KDFWR? I have been stopped several times and never have I been told by the CO that I was in violation. Me and my dad both have inflatables and know where the throw cushion is. Until I have a CO ticket me or warn me I will probably continue to operate the same way. I wear my PFD most of the time anyway.

    kybass1 might have posted a common sense answer to the question in that if you fall overboard and your jacket inflates then you would seem to be in violation after you have gotten back in the boat.
