Hookup section?

I would love to see some rigging tips...perhaps broken down by popular generalized species?  ocean species, warm water species, river monsters?  then just let the threads go from there.  it would be a great place to start...for instance i have never fished for bass...but today while paddling down the Clatskanie river to eat up a few hours i saw 3 different big splashes in the weeds to the sides of the banks i could only assume were bass getting out of my way power paddling...would love to find out, would have to guess at the rigging though.  even bass gear that catches fish in eastern WA would be a closer place start than what "looks neat" at walmart.

All of what you ask is already there.  I don't think it would be any different if specific boards were made.  If you have specific questions, just ask in the Let's Talk Kayak Fishing section.  It's a large topic with many factors.  There are no generalized answers that guarantee success.  It varies by species, bodies of water, time of year, water and weather conditions, etc.  I think if you ask the questions, there will be many member willing and able to provide answers.  But keep in mind that I could tell you where to fish, with what, and when, but until you go out there and do it, there are things your can't discover in writing, and it still might not work for you.  It takes time on the water to learn what works and for you to retain that info.  Ask the questions, instead of trying to figure out the best way to present the answer.

Given the are you are in, you should absolutely look into bass fishing, but those were probably carp.  Carp are pretty easy to sneak up on and aren't very subtle about how they get away once spooked.  Bass are more eloquent with their movements and less easy to sneak up on.     There are bass in there though.
