Your just going to have to find out what your capable and comfortable with. Some guys can get into waist deep water drive in and just hop in while there in the surf zone and make it out no problem...now since I'm a bigger guy I usually paddle out of the surf zone with my drive out, so I don't bend or damage it.

Put your fish where ever it will fit, next to your leg, underneath your leg strapped to the back of your kayak...you'll figure it out.

Again you'll have to figure out what works for you and what your comfortable with. Some guys go peddle in some guys go peddle out. With the peddle in your chances of damaging your drive go up...with your peddle drive out your chances of losing your drive go up...pedaling in you have speed to get in before you get smashed by a wave...paddling you have greater control in the surf zone...get out there and figure it out.
