New to Kayak Fishing

[hq2]

Oh, one other thing I noticed about your 'yak. You have space behind your seat for a rod. I have a similar situation on mine, and I mounted a surf tube on a T shaped wooden frame, with a 2 x 4 cross bar on the top of the 'yak secured to the tie downs with long shoe laces. If you mount the tube on the bottom of the T so it turns side to side, you can tie a rope through an eye on the top of of the T so you can pull the tube up for trolling or let it flop to the side for baiting and pulling in fish. That way, you don't have to reach behind your back for your rod (a real pain!). Good luck! Used this arrangement last year and it worked great!
