The Plunge!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Welcome to the addiction. Definitely a PFD. And get a quality one that is very comfortable and made for kayak fishing. If its not comfortable you're less likely to wear and it won't do shit for you in the hatch. Don't skimp on the seat either. Yak ass has ruined many a trip. Take your new yak out a few times before you head to LJ. Get a feel for the kayak. The surf line is a bad place to figure out how the yak handles. I have found it's better to fish the kayak a few times to find out what you need and where you want to put it before investing in a bunch of gear. You can for sure check out the way other have set up their kayaks to get some ideas. Mike
