So I have been really bad in the last few months. New travel trailer, truck racks and finally a Nucanoe. I have only been in the Nucanoe just for like 5 mins to test it, never been in kayak. So far it has wheels, anchor, 360 seat, one rod holder, fish finder. I am getting milk crate tomorrow. I was thinking of getting a trolling motor. What kind should I get? Any other things I need? I feel so lost lol Here's some pics.

A trolling motor means you'll have to register it. Take it out and use it several times to really figure what you need or what mods or additions you want to make.

I'd just launch closer to where you want to fish instead of messing with the nightmare that is the TPWD boat registration.

If you've only been in it for 5 min, I wouldn't spend a bunch of money and put a bunch of stuff on it till you've taken it out a few times a figured out what's really necessary for your style. Especially a TM, I've never been on a kayak with one but I've been in my share of boats and with just about every one, I've almost thrown myself out at least once. IMO, less is more with a kayak.
