Don't buy everything at once.
Get used to your gear before adding the fish finder, live bait well, adjustable rod holder, and GPS.
Get a good seat.
Invest in a thermal molded seat (not foam cushion) for maximum comfort.
Get a gunwale.
Having a gunwale on a fishing kayak will let you mount a rod holder, fish finder, compass, and so on.
Get the right paddle.
The fiberglass split-shaft paddle is more efficient, comfortable, and lighter that the less expensive aluminum paddle.
Use dry hatches for storage.
Store your stuff inside the boat in dry hatches or dry bags.
Use paddle clips.
Paddle clips and rod holders on the deck preserve your equipment. Attach a scabbard to the deck to keep pliers and bait knife handy.
