Looking into getting into kayak fishing. Any tips or things I should be concerned about? New to kayaking, not to fishing.

bongwizzard posted:Buy a simple used kayak from a good brand. Don't jump into getting a tricked out fishing kayak right away. You will always want a loaner/beater down the road. Find a local forum and read it all. Before you buy any boat, really think about how you will store and transport it, if it is too much of a pain you are less likely to use it. Buy a fishing specific pfd and fill the pockets with gear so you are never tempted to go without it. Accept that you will loose a rig at some point. Delaware area, so I have the Chesapeake bay and lots of inlets/streams to choose from. Also ponds at state parks, stuff like that.

Yeah, I'll probably fart around at Lums Pond or Killens Pond if I'm feeling adventurous, then go from there.

Went out and caught a bunch of bluegill and perch. General panfish, nothing fancy. Nothing was big enough to keep, but it was fun getting back into the swing of things after a few years of neglecting the hobby. Managed to hook a snapping turtle right in the face, though. Felt pretty bad about it. Tiny baby fish:

After 4 days of fishing up nothing but lovely perch and crappie from this bullshit manmade pond I managed to hook a 17" smallmouth bass with nothing but a small hook and a tiny piece of worm. Felt pretty good.
