Finally got my new kayak. Tarpon 140~!

[tacklebox]

So I finally got my kayak Ive been drooling over! Its a tarpon 140 with almost all the accessories I want! I traded a guy 200 bucks and a nixon watch for it yesterday.
I cant wait to take it out for her maiden voyage! If anyone is going this weekend I could use some tips. I plan on going to the lake tomorrow to fish a little and get used to it, tip it and see how hard it is to re enter, make sure all gear is not going to get lost etc...
I typically go out of Dana point on the cattle boats, pier, bridge etc...
I plan on adding a kelp clip, drift chute (do you guys use those?), what about anchor? is that unsafe in the ocean? Anything else I should have ?
I have had a few kayaks but got rid of them after I tested in the pool and realized they didnt fit right. Either too small or unstable or both!
Here she is!
