Walking into K-mart last Saturday, there was a stack of
blue Calypso 8-foot kayaks for $200 each. My dear wife said "Happy Father's Day" and I couldn't argue. She knows this day would come, having seen me drool over the ocean-going kayaks that glide past us waders with limits of reds and specs. So I'm now a proud owner of a baby kayak (try hard not to laugh at the imagined sight of big ol' me sitting atop it). But, knowing a fool and his life soon are parted, I'd appreciate any tips for a beginner like me. And since I manage to carry five rods with my ODC 420 toon, I know I'll have to customize this little kayak to the hilt to be happy. Thanks in advance.
