Noobie question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi everyone! I'm new to kayak fishing and I have a few questions after reading through the forum.

Has anyone brought a small inflatable boat along? I thought about have my son ride in the rear of my Trident ultra and then inflating a small wal-mart boat for him to fish from. Am I missing something important, or would this work?

I also read about the proper way to land a halibut from the kayak. There was a lot of talk about proper gaff technique. What if I used a straight gaff with a flopper, like speargun spears? Never caught a halibut, so it might be a dumb question, but the thread just got me thinking.

Anyways, looking forward to meeting everyone! Have a great weekend!
