First year with a Yak Section

[Thermoklein]

Hi fellas -

I'm a noob in a few ways. New to this site, and new to 'yakkin. I bought the Hobie SUV last November and had to hang it up in the garage for the year the same day, but I plan to be out on teh saltwater by June.

But I'm not a noob when it comes to stripers. I grew up surf and rock-casting Narreagansett, Jamestown, Point Judith and the breachways though I haven't fished RI much since about 1980. I'm back, though, and ready to learn everything I can about kayak fishing.

Can anyone point me to a good single source that will tell me:
* How to set up a new 'yak with lights, depthfinder, etc.
* What tackle works best
* How to handle a fish from a 'yak

...and so forth. I really need to get with some experienced dudes and spend a couple of hours shooting the ship, so to speak.
