no secrets just launch from side of the road. Cool

You will have to get used to fishing out of the yak. Just use it as another tool to fish with. Cross deep channels to wade other areas or to keep you from sinking in the mud, stay out of way from sting rays...find what works for you. Your first few times focus in on learning your kayak and its abilities. Tie down what you don't want to lose and after some time you will be taking only what you need.
have fun and also visit.

I know the common wading areas and figured the kayak could just improve on those for now. I will look into the book posted above. Thanks guys, depth finder or not? I've been looking at google maps to find the holes and such

Here is a few questions? Are you fishing freshwater or saltwater? What type of fish are you wanting to catch? Are you going to be fishing the bays and intercoastal water, or are you wanting to fish offshore like fishing the rigs?
I would start by fishing the bays getting use to the kayaks and fishing the marshes for Redfish, Flounders, and Trout. Alway fish with some one and always wear a PFD. If your going to fish deep water, learn how to do deep water entry. The best way to learn how to kayak fish is to hook up with some guide and learn the area and how to present different baits. If you live around CC call Slowride Guide Service in AP. He also has Kayak fishing classess which are very good and it will cut your learning time, and teach your water safety. Plus he's a very nice guy.

We have always had boats, so we are somewhat familiar with the intercoastal. We are probably just going to fish the bays and intercoastal area but there are some places we can run that boats can't. Mostly trying for the normal three (trout, redfish and flounder) we won't be able October as much of the water as we could in a boat for obvious reasons. We may do some surf fishing out of them but probably not going to be running out to the rigs. We will definately be wearing our pfd's! Especially in deep water. Also heard we had to have a whistle. Is a flag necessary?
