Starting out, I would not worry about what kind of gear you are going to use for yellowtail...but first to get comfortable paddling, and just being on a kayak.

There was a guy on here not too long ago...with the same gung-ho attitude...he bought a kayak at Walmart, we urged him to just try it out, and learn how to paddle first before he takes it out into open water....Long story short he returned the kayak the next day.

I'll tell you the same thing I told him....Slow down. Get your kayak Learn to paddle around first. Then worry about what your going to catch that yellowtail on.
