[Paddlewise] kayak fishing

hi folks,

my husband often mentions wanting to fish in his boat.  he paddles a 
carolina, but we've also just purchased a used keowee II (which we call 
"the couch") which would be great for fishing.  he would be day tripping 
only, and fishing in estuaries or on san pablo or tomales bay (we are in 
northern calif.). for Christmas i'm thinking of getting him some basic 
tackle, and i would welcome suggestions as to how to outfit him for his 
first kayak-fishing trip.  here is what i have come up with so far:

rod holder to be mounted on boat (clamps)
rod and reel (how long/heavy a rod?)
anchor for kayak
net
container (no big deal) with lid for fish
cooler for frosty lager (or, in the winter, coffee or hot tea) and snacks

do any of you fish from your boats?  and are there forums for kayak fishing 
that i need to know about?  i've looked on a search engine but not found 
anything so far.

best wishes to all,

kcd
