What's up everyone, my name is Joe and I'm new to this sport. Kayak fishing is a item on my bucket list, something I wanted to learn, and a reason to get away from the wife (don't tell her). So this year, I finally bought a kayak and some gear. Never been on a kayak and the last time I went fishing was in 2002, only cat. I'm here to learn the knowledge you can pass down so then I can pass it down to the next newbie.

Welcome to the site, and the addiction. The first thing besides a good pfd, I would recommend to a newcomer would be rod floats from bass pro, or make your own. Its easy on a sit on top to knock one overboard or if you flip. 10 bucks for 3 of them Saved me several hundreds on one trip.

Welcome to the site Joe. Lots of good folks on here and more than ready to share their knowledge. What kind of kayak did you get?

Thanks for all the welcomes. I've been doing a lot of research and youtube search'n for ideas. I have the Field and Stream Eagle Talon 12. I don't like the seat, anyone have any upgrade suggestions or mod ideas to make it better? Thanks for the advice, going to start on the rod floats.

If you're on Facebook there's a page for kayak DIY and there's also a page just for that kayak. I'm sure if it can be done you'll find it on there.

I just replaced the seat with a GTS Expedition. I just got it in today and will be spending about eight hours in it on Saturday. I'll let you know what I think of it but anything is better than what came on that kayak. www.kayakfishinggear.com/products/gts-expedition-seat-by-surf-to-summit
