Newbie Thread - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I am also a new kayaker, not new to fishing. Been in the sport a couple of months. My two cents is, buy your gear used, there are incredible deals on this website and possibly craigslist. My original plan to get into a "cheap" kayak for about $500 quickly went out the door... I am well past 1500 bucks and the FF was the only new thing I bought. Watch your wallet so wifey wont put on the clamps!

REALLY learn a lot about making bait, you don't want to spend all day fishing for macks! Better yet make a friend at the launch that does not mind you tagging 50 yards from him to catch bait at a mark he finds.
