Kiwigrant,

You picked the right sport!!

Forget the drift bag. Especially since you have a hobie.
The idea is this, on a windy day, the drift bag allows you to drift slowly
over a particular spot, like a reef. But you already own a drift bag, it's
called a Hobie. Just point it into the wind a peddle just
enough to slow your drift. How easy is that?

For this coming yellowtail season you'll need a dedicated pole
and rig (sabiki) to catch bait fish, macks. You'll need a rod and
reel for live bait, and finally a rod and reel to cast a surface iron.

Mastering those rigs and their usage will keep you busy and happy.
Good Luck, Yanni
