just got my 1st yak for fishing.. just had a few Q's if anyone has answers..just trying to figure out best approach to best results..

what size rod is easiest to use ? i was thinking 7 or 8 footer would be best to handle

anyone rig up a depthfinder? i plan on getting one, any recommendations on model, type, or installation..

how about spinning or conventional? i'm thinking of trolling with my conventional..

what to wear ? i hope to get out in the next couple weeks, do you mostly wear thermals, with waders, etc.. or wetstuit.. or just boots..

thanks for any answers..

Yak Fishing (http://www.saltwateredge.com/web%20headers/kayakprimer.html)

Give the above a read, it's a good introduction to fishing from a kayak.

Also feel free to email Joel, there's an email address at the end of the article. He's done installs on a lot of kayaks; depthfinders, GPS, rod holders, etc.

He's done VERY well trolling tube 'n worm off the back of that yak, usually on coventional gear. He carries spin gear as well.
