Re: Any advice for a newb with a kayak?
#1, get a good PFD and wear it. There are fishing versions available with plentiful pockets. Every year I read about kayakers and canoers who drown and there is often a quote from a friend or family member who says "...but he was a really good swimmer..."
When you dump a yak, canoe or any boat and are worried about your tackle box with hundreds of bucks of equipment, and your rods or anything else, you can tire easily. And if you get tangled in your fishing line or anchor line etc. and panic ensues, I don't care if you're Michael Phelps, you may be in a struggle for your life. So wear that PFD, even if it's 95 degrees.
