What I will need to do is to install a pair of rod holders. Anybody got a picture of theirs? What kind of paddle do you use? Also do you pull a floating fish basket with you for them keepers?

Here is a link of the kayak I have

This is my old fishing kayak I sold for a sit-in to extend my fishing season. You can see the two plastic flush mount rod holders I use for trolling and rod storage. They angle outward, so I cast a line, drop the rod butt in the holder, and paddle around structure or the river bank. i also installed a flush mount attwood rod holder bewteen my legs. YOu'll see it as a rectangular black cover in the picture. I can drop my adjustable rod holder in it for trolling or storage. From my experience, trolling was best done from the two rear flush mount rod holders, since they were secure enough to take a big hit. I knew I had a big fish when it would hit and turn my kayak as i was paddling.

Any boat store will carry the pvc flush mount holders for $8-10. However, if you get them form a kayak store, the bottom holes will be sealed where you have to seal the ones from the boat store. These were froma boat store,s o I sealed the bottoms by gluing on a pvc cap form Home Depot.
