New OK T15 Need some advice on outfitting it

So I compiled a list of stuff I intend on buying for my kayak. I do however need some advice on what else I need. So here is what I put together:
1. Hummingbird 385ci Combo Kayak fish finder
2. Hummingbird VHF55s radio
3. NRS Farmer John wetsuit
4. NRS Drytop
5. NRS Comm 3 wetshoe
6. Extrasport Striper fishing PFD
7. Bilge pump
8. NRS Pilot knife
9. Gaff (although I don't know which one to buy)
10. Scott pole holders

Some things I don't know are, tackle boxes and maybe a bait livewell. What else am I missing?

Cheap extra paddle for emergencies. Nice wide brim hat and sunglasses.

Jedmo

the Plano 1612 fits perfect in the spot behind the seat. as for gaff the KZ gaff is the bomb! may want a cheap whistle for safety. Tackle is endless......

Buy all of the safety stuff you need and only the basic fishing gear.  Once you get out there a couple of times you'll realize what things you really need...otherwise you'll buy everything in the store and realize you really only needed a few things.

12V battery and charger.

Kayak cart - Save your back.
Landing Net - DFG regs.
Hawg Trough
Game Clip
Fish Grip - Floating type

You can get these at Hook 1.... The fun is only starting!!!

Landing Net - DFG regs.

Is that a general, species, or area regulation?

Every time I go somewhere new or target something new I read up on the appropriate regulations and have never run across a reg for requiring a landing net. If you can tell me where that reg is at I would appreciate it, because I go out with out a net a lot and don't want to be doing something illegal.

Page 51 of the Ocean Regulations under Fin Fish Gear Restrictions 28.65 (d)
(d) No gaff hook shall be used to take or assist in landing any finfish shorter than the minimum size limit. For the purpose of this section a gaff hook is any hook with or without a handle used to assist in landing fish or to take fish in such a manner that the fish does not take the hook voluntarily in its mouth. No person shall take finfish from any boat or other floating device in ocean waters without having a landing net in possession or available for immediate use to assist in landing undersize fish of species having minimum size limits; the opening of any such landing net shall be not less than eighteen inches in diameter.

A rudder if you ever paddle in the wind.

Interesting... I don't know why or how I missed it. Does the landing net apply to freshwater?

Sorry I don't know the regs for freshwater, I fish only saltwater and the bays.

Regarding the gaff, I believe I read somewhere in the regs that you can't use it in freshwater. Will try to locate that info.

Thanks for the heads up and yes the FishingAddict the fun is just about to begin. I'd truly love going out with some of you guys and having you show me the ropes because I'm entering foreign territory. I have never actually used a gaff in all of my fishing expeditions. I've caught everything from 50 lb salmon to 7' sturgeon with the use of a net or noose be getting some hands-on training would be awesome. Thanks for all the knowledge.
