Welcome from another new guy. Little far to make the run over to the coastal area but there some guys on another forum that have turned Kayak fishing into a whole different ball game in the Chesapeake Bay. If you go the trolling motor route which I would if it was me, you open up a world of fishing with your new toy.
Watched those guys hook a striper ( by the way be careful with that second P in striper > LOL ) and get pulled all over the place. Got to be fun. !!!
Its a very clean sight, search is worth a go if your looking for something and post some photos as you mod the new boat like you want it. Always fun seeing what others are coming up with . Kinda like a car show.
