Basic needs to get going - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Check out the Kayak Dealers - they'll let you test drive different yaks. Spend at least 30 minutes in each or more. I purchased a Ocean Kayak (Drifter), wide and stable. I started fairly bare and have added a fish finder, rod holders, leashes. I made my own leashes. I just added the 6" center hatch. There is a brand "Hobie" with foot controls which is powerful and quick, however expensive. I too made the bait tube, my son in law made the live well for under $30 and went with a 6 volt battery for longer amp life and a reasonable cycle of water into the tank.
