If you could.....

[Biffasd3845]

Hey guys,

I'm new to saltwater fishing, and to a lesser extent Kayak fighing in general. I grew up fishing the lakes and rivers of western and northern New York State. Most of my fishing has been from a boat or a canoe with some kayake fishing through in here and there but only fresh water fishing. I've been thinking about buying a kayak in january or febuary and then start fishing the ocean. However I have only the knowledge I've read so far to go off of. I'm still fuzzy as to what Iron is and the difference between surface Iron and other forms of it.....

Which sparked me to ask you all this.

If you where starting the sport of kayak fishing, and more specifically ocean kayak fishing all over but still had the knowledge you have now what would you do?

Thanks all

and buy a hobie w/ mirage drive.

I would have gotten a Hobie right off the bat, flat bill hat, $300 polarized sunglasses, and hired a guide, then the next time I fished on my own, I'd be an instant expert!

So that's where I messed up, I didn't get the Hobie with Mirage drive.. I did have the flat bill hat and 300 polarized sunglasses. Next time I start over it'll be much different!
edit: oh yea.. the guide... it's like looking to the sky for direction..

I would have bought a boat.

yeah, i'd have gotten a skiff with an outboard. same price as the PA, more comfortable and more range. plus surf launches would be a blast!
