Great set up.... best advise I can give you is make your kayak your own and do what works best for you. I have a lot to do on mine but I started out with just a kayak and a fish finder. Now I have finders,LED lights, trolling motors ....the works.
Send me some pictures I would love to see it.

That’s a nice set up you have there Gary. I also love fishing from my yak and also enjoy getting out and wading. I get a little exercise and enjoy the stealth aspect of kayaking. Do you drift fish out of it? Good luck and good fishing 😎👍
Not exactly sure what drift fish means? No anchor?
But I usually anchor for a while and if it gets slow or nothing I move and anchor again.

My tackle box tucked under a bungee cord on the bow. Although I carry some hooks, weights, senkos and a few lures back with me. The kayak weighs 50 lbs.
Thanks

I live on the Texas coast. Our bay waters are fairly shallow and I’ll pick an area I want to drift and set out a small sea anchor to slow the drift then I’ll cast lures in front of the drift. Our bay waters are pretty clear here and while drifting quietly you can come upon a school of Redfish and cast to the one you want. If the bay is not choppy I’ll fish with a top water lure for them. The kayak is such an awesome boat to fish out of. I like your set up, everyone has to set theirs up for the waters the fish. I have never had a need for a depth finder because I’m mostly fishing water not over 3-4 ft. deep. Paddle on 😎👍

Nice yak Gary, I have a similar model and love it. I added a cleat on each side just above the carry handles. Also have velcrod in the front compartment dn below a handy box and Gatorade bottle.
Be very careful with a stand up yak! Just watched a YouTube video of a guy at Havasu stood up to set a hook and fell overboard in 45* water and was very lucky another fisherman was a few hundred yes away to help. Easily could have turned very bad.

I will happily take some pictures of my kayak and post them here. I just have to dig it out and hook everything up
