    I am a relatively new fisherman, who only fishes from the banks of small local ponds, not lakes. I am currently stationed at Fort Riley, KS but I will be moving to Fort Worth, TX here in the next few months when I get out of the Army. With the new home, I want to pursue a new direction in my fishing, Kayak fishing to be exact. I feel that my foundation of fishing is fairly solid when it comes to the banks, but as many of us know, the amount of lessons one can learn is severely limited from the shore. I honestly don't know where to start when it comes to my change in gameplan. What kind of Kayak would be best for a newbie like me? I'm 6'2'' 235 athletic build What kind of accessories? extra oar, electronics, anchor/pole What kind of equipment? Rods, reels, lures What kind of Tactics? Areas to target I don't exactly want to spend all the money in the world, but I am willing to invest a solid $1,000 into a kayak, oar, vest, and maybe some new rod and reels. Also, I don't know if I should invest into any electronics right away or not. Any advice or guidance on this topic would be AWESOME! Thanks in advance guys!

    Greetings! I am brand spanking new to the sport. I inherited some fishing equipment and am unsure just what to use it for. I have a Shimano Sellus ultra light rod with a pflueger trion spinning reel and an Abu Garcia Vengeance medium rod with a pflueger president spinning reel. Both 6'6". Just beginner stuff I think. The tackle box that came with them is filled with this type of bait: (1) floating and countdown rapalas size 01, 03, and 05, (2) rattling rapala 04, (3) in line spinners, hum dingers, spoons, kast masters 1/4oz and under, (4) various bait hooks (5) 1/32 jigs with plastic grubs, and (5) several bags of 2" plastic shad and 4" roboworms. There are also containers of firebait in various colors. So, I checked YouTube and think these are for trout, bluegill, crappie, smallmouth bass, perch, and similar types of fish. I also think I may be needing a medium light rod and not the ultra light I recieved? One salesman at a local store said the UL is perfect and another said to get a ML. I'm a little confused. Also both rods have p-line fluroclear 8 & 6 lb test that was in the box. I think I'd like to try drop shot, some wacky rigging, and Texas rigging too. I saw it on the videos. Too ambitious? Am I on the right track with what I've got? Sorry if that's too much or not the right info. It's my first forum post. Thanks for any help.
