Default Re: Any advice for a newb with a kayak?

I too cannot over stress the importance of a PFD. I use auto inflating PFD's on my big boat in case I ever got thrown at speed but for when I'm fishing my yak I still use an inflatable PFD but a manually activated one. The vest is so thin it you barely know you're wearing it and if you take a casual dump it won't activate but it's there to save your life when and if you need it.

I also 2nd the suggestion of fishing your yak for awhile before you decide where you want to mount rod holders, electronics, etc.
