The Kayak Fishing Store in Fairfield.
I learned a lot from the guy who owns the store. They have a lot of boats and equipment in the store and the store owner really knows kayak fishing. Totally different experience than shopping in a big box store.
Their address is:
The Kayak Fishing Store
125 Clinton Rd. #7
Fairfield, NJ. 07004
973.227.3251

I got a Native Redfish 10. The store installed two rod holders, anchor trolley, anchor cleat, and a few other odds-and-ends.
They guy at the store suggested the 12 foot model, but I really wanted the 10 foot model. I drive a tiny car and live in a cramped, little apartment, so space is always at a premium. The 10 foot model just fit the space I had available better.
Here's a pic of my kayak at Spruce Run:
