Hey TFF. I am a looong time member at the THF and just bought a Kayak and want to get out and fish. I know PFD, learn the Kayak feel before I even attempt to cast a rod. I am no hurry and have owned four boats in the past. Here is my new money pit....lol. It is the newer one. I was searching for so long and had so many feelers out there the used one was a great buy as well. I will be selling the tan camo one, just have to wait till I get enough post count, I assume. Both are 12� eagle talons. Great beginner kayaks minus the seat. Just wanted to say Hi and looking forward to the ideas and posts here. Now I need to get a vest, I know ALWAYS wear your PFD. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/05/full-111724-11240-ff9f1f2e_61ca_446f_afc8_f34546073603.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/05/full-111724-11241-2dda2506_b2e6_4f0a_95a9_9e7c609f588b.jpeg)

Welcome!
I used a $25 PFD. from Academy for years�worked well enough
The NRS vests are really nice but significantly more expensive, but worth it for the comfort and quality

Academy sells a rebranded Onyx PFD called the MoveVent. I haven't seen one in person but on paper and in the photos it looks like a great option in its price range.

Welcome to our world!  I just want to warn you that this kayak fishing becomes an addiction, and you will soon own a fleet of kayaks along with plenty of gear!  I noticed by your post you are already on the way!  It's not a bad thing, this addiction of ours!
Just one more cast!

Welcome to the game!
Kayak fishing is just the best. You will enjoy it. You got the right mindset; safety first as there are real dangers in this sport and we do read too often about our brothers drowning while on a yak trip.. but get you a nice PFD, learn from those more experienced and then fun and fishes! And like tall grass said...accessories are fun ha ha.

Welcome to the TFF. Nice kayaks and a good looking dog.
Do you have any idea how much you might want to ask for the tan kayak once you get your post count up?
I only ask because auctions and bidding are not allowed on the TFF so I would feel uncomfortable making an initial bid offer of $100 on behalf of my 12 year old son.
