Stripped bass kayak?

[NJ Dave]

I strongly think you need to check the weather.
Small craft, 20 mph wind and waves 4-7.
No fish is worth your life. Spring kayakING is a dangerous sport. The water is in the 40s. Take a spill on that without a dry suit and a bit of self rescue knowledge and it's bye bye.
Not trying to sound like a prick and I am not doubting your experience but this is not an easy sport.
I am sick of being called "that guy in a kayak" because of people's inexperience that gives us ALL a bad name.

Magicseaweed and swellinfo are two good weather sites to follow.
It looks line there is a small weather window wed early am for a safe launch but by afternoon the wind builds back up.
Kayak fishing is a great and rewarding sport.
