Float plan with family. However that only gives a general area as I could be covering a lot of water looking for the trout.

This year I also invested in a personal locator beacon. It's an ACR resqlink +. It floats and stored in a little belt pouch I found in my box of junk. Additionally attached to a lanyard on my belt.

One of the biggest concerns I have fishing solo is being knocked off the boat when the water temperature is anywhere below 60 degrees and the trolling motor is still on. It's wickedly easy to get hypothermic and it don't take long for the boat to get away from you with the trolling motor on half throttle.

I also wear my PFD as soon as I get on the boat until it's back on the trailer.
