There is a very good kayak fishing forum on this site. http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/forums/27/1/Kayak_Fishing

Crappie have been my main target from kayaks for about 20 years. I put my first HB side scan on a kayak in 2009.
The kayak makes me look like a lot better fisherman than I really am with or without the fancy electronics. Any electronics will help you locate the structure/bait and that will be the most important thing of all.

An entry level kayak and a basic fish finder will serve you well for a long time.

The standard welcome to the kayak forum is "welcome to the addiction " for a reason.

Tight lines, Phill

I am thinking about getting a Neoprene chest wader as well but does it get unbearabily hot in the summer?

Yes they can, but why would you wear waders in the summer? Get some Colombian pants, the ones that dry dang near instantly, and your good to go. Lightweight, and very comfortable.

If you absolutely need to wear waders in the summer, I'd suggest some lightweight ones from academy. They are great for warm weather and still allow you to breath.
