There was a guy on here not too long ago...with the same gung-ho attitude...he bought a kayak at Walmart, we urged him to just try it out, and learn how to paddle first before he takes it out into open water....Long story short he returned the kayak the next day.
I'll tell you the same thing I told him....Slow down. Get your kayak Learn to paddle around first. Then worry about what your going to catch that yellowtail on.

Learn wet exits. Practice in a pool or a lake or something. I learned the hard way going out by myself. Rolled right out and flipped my yak not being careful. Scared the crap out of me but luckily I did practice in my pool. Also make sure you leash your gear down. Just my 2 cents
