where to start
i have been lurking for a while now, i usually upland game hunt but with the drought i decided to start kayaking i usually fish over night boats and mammoth area so i know how to fish. So I just picked up a x factor and have a ton of questions i have been searching the forum, if any one has any advise on what i need to get started I appreciate it. i already rented a kayak at oex so i know how to paddle but what should i get to go out and fish? thanks in advance!

Start out in the Harbors. Join other folks, and learn from them. A friend and I are heading out to Los Alamitos Bay on Sunday at 6am send me a PM if you want to join.
Things to get you started Life Vest Radio helps but not necessary Zman Paddlerz 3" and 5" Big Hammer Anchovy,Sex Smelt, Calico Hunter 1/4, 1/2, 3/8 lead heads Warbait skirted jigs Almost any bass fishing setup should get you started. And most important .... READ THE FORUMS for knowledge! There is tons of information here. --John |

1. PFD reachable and readily accessible in case you flip.
2. Gears thoughts should be multi-useful to keep your gears as light as possible. (tackle whore you know what I mean) 3. bungees bungees, you'll flip one day or another and its good to strap your gear if not, consider it a donation to the ocean. 4. Practice and spend time on the water, get familiar with your kayak, hop on or off the kayak. |

 I have worn a pfd once and thought it was very unnecessary. Doesn't mean you shouldn't wear one, but it really isn't a necessity. |

Also get a bilge pump, I know this one guy who is on like his 8th kayak.
Also, it's a good idea to buy a 1600 motor if your on a 600 dollar kayak with an 800 sail if you have a beautiful women at home and it's not a good idea if your still living with your mother.

1 - different strokes for different folks (your mileage may very for every comment made) but the # item is a great life jacket aka PFD and a good paddle.
2 - what are you planning to target and where are you going to fish? You may not need a bait tank if you're going to chuck plastics all day in the bay or fresh water.

You could start by searching the many other threads with people asking the very same question on what they need to start out with. But Nic D pretty much nailed it.
I myself am a minimalist, I usually don't plan on bringing all of my stuff just so everyone can see how much fishing gear I have..... You people know who you are... Best advice I could give you is make a checklist, cap it at maybe 10 items. See what you can or can't live without. I prep the night before because I tend to forget necessities if I get my things together in the morning. Go somewhere calm and bring your bass gear, or whatever your comfortable with. Before you know it your rig will look wrong if you are missing a piece of gear you normally take out because of the repetition. Good luck and hope to see you out there. Regards, J |

Not sure if Irishman sent pics. Here's mine. I didn't realize until I fished with Irishman that the older models don't have the grooves for transducer, or livewell pump. I got mine this year from oex as a package installed by oex. Not as fancy (or expensive) as the hobies most guys have, but gets me on the water, and keeps me in good shape too. See you on the water
