Now I got yak, what are the essentials I need to get?
Saw Sports Chalet has bilge pump for $19.99, so that takes care of that coupon ![]() Also any recommendations on anything else is a "must have" before I go out? Thanks for all the help. |

Looks like you got everything basic you need for right now...except a set of wheels. What type of fishing are you planning to do?

Good paddle, (use the cheaper one as a spare, stored below deck), rod leases, maybe a paddle leash. Depending on where/how long you'll be fishing, I'd invest in a better seat and marine radio. Fish finder/gps is nice too. Find a milk crate.

Oh well, can't keep me down. Looks like lake Hemet. I would do ocean/bay, but I have to work (at least a little) that day in the morning and pick up merchandise for work in Hemet in the pm. So I'm going to get a few hours in...better than nothing.
Any advise to the above still appreciated... |

Yea, you'll find that any lake that serves as a source of drinking water will be a "No Contact" reservoir. Doesn't matter that the damn coots are crapping in it all year - but we are not allowed to touch it. Go figure...

![]() The carbon Aquabound paddles seem to get good reviews. The fiberglass hobie paddles are decent. If you buy a used one, make sure its a newer model. '09 or better i think. Pass on the higher end paddles and save the money for when you upgrade to a _ _ _ _ _. COD apex seat as a minimum. Radio should be Waterproof/floating. Any high back pfd. I wouldnt recomend the Ascend Fishing PFD. The storage pockets are bulky and get in the way if you like to reel with the butt tucked under your arm. It also doesnt make it easy to attach a radio to your person either. |

200 bucks goes real quick.
Post up ads ol BWE for used equipment. Guaranteed to get responses and save a bunch of money. I have even seen cool people on here take care of a new guy for free or very little coin. Buy used save money for fishing. |

C. O. D seat $40
They say they have others, 100 miles north of you but I'm sure they'd ship a seat for less than fuel. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...437449193.html |

I usually tell people to NOT listen to anything that Matt says but he's right on this one. Post up what you 'WTB' and I'm sure you'll get a few PM's from other members.....I've received a few free items and have given away a few as well. ooooh, one last thing. You may need to buy Security Tokens before you post up any 'WTB' request. Check the General Kayaking Forum for more information on this. ![]()

There area few things that will make your yaking more fun and comfortable from the start. A decent carbon paddle, a quality seat with an inflatable butt pad, a PFD that is made for kayaking, and since its winter-a good paddling jacket/wader/underfleece combo. These things will save you the tired/sore wrists, sore/soggy ass, and low body temperture and let you focus on fishing.

You know what, on my way to work today I was thinking "Do I need some waders?". I imagine even on a lake there is a good possibility of getting wet no? |

And a dry bag for your phone. Wall mart has them for 7 bucks. Don't use zip lock bags.

A whistle for safety is a must have item and the best part is that its the cheapest thing you will buy.

Yea everything is a hour away but that's the cool part of living here were next to everything. Silverwood and gregory are 40 minutes away, there's Newport and Dana a hour away, if you leave before traffic la jolla is just over a hour away(I have a lead foot so I can make it in hour or less lol) you can head up to Malibu, pay lakes corona lake, Irvine lake all close by, perris is right by too but I don't like it there, waters iffy and the dangers hallways hassle me with the yak
