New to kayak fishing

Hey everyone I am new to kayak fishing, but i recently tried out some kayaks and ended up purchasing a OK Trident 13. Would like a Hobie but $$$$ is too much for me right now. I am located in Lynnwood, WA and will mostly be fishing lakes, but want to try the Sound. Although I am hesitant.
If anyone has any tips or advice they would be much appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

IMHO the OK T13 is the best paddle boat for fishing out there.  Great choice.  Good luck and welcome to the forum.

The Sound is a big lake most of the summer.  Pick a day with little wind and go for it.  Stay aware of the boat/ship wakes and remember to dress and plan for cold water immersion.  It may be 60F at the surface, but where your feet would dangle is closer to 50F. 

Local launch points include Golden Gardens, Edmonds, and Mukilteo.

Demonick thanks for the tips. I was curious what a good outfit for the sound (during the summer) would be?
I cant invest 500+ on a dry suit at this time so was just curious what I should wear...

Thanks again

I own a drysuit, but have never fished the sound in anything other then shorts and a tank top, or t shirt.

Dirk when do you typically start to use the dry suit? I have never fished in the sound besides on a PB.

Ocean, always. I guess if you went into the sound in the winter.
A good rule of thumb is if the combined temperature of water and air is under 100 degrees. I usually go with 110. The ocean is a different thing all together, surf launches and wind will cover you in water all day. Plus you are going miles and miles out. If you look on line you can find paddling drysuits for around 300.
Most guys who dont have a drysuit wear neoprene waders with a belt. Even in the winter, if you can't swim or are not able to get back on your boat it's probably a differnet story.

I am the wrong guy to ask.  My personal endeavors often contain some inherent risk and I am all about risk mitigation.  I bought a Kokatat drysuit early on and would not fish the sound without it.  Hell, I feel naked and vulnerable without it in a PB.  Last year in June on the same day I separately rescued two guys off Richmond Beach. Both were wearing light wet suits. One guy had fallen off his sailboard and could not remount. Eventually he did and I followed him to shore. He was fairly stout, was not in the water too long, and so was cold, but not dangerously.  The other guy was a kite border who had wandered out from shore then the wind died.  He had been in the water over an hour, a mile out and drifting south with the light wind.  When I got to him he was cold, teeth chattering, pre-hypothermic.  Another 30 minutes and he would have been in serious trouble.  A skinny guy without much natural insulation in a light wet suit reluctant to abandon his board and kite.  At that point he may have waited too long to swim to shore before going hypothermic.

Others are better informed to suggest shorts and tee-shirt, waders and dry tops, or wetsuits. 

Got a PFD?

I do have PDF its a Stohlquist Fisherman Highback. It came with  a package when I ordered my kayak.

Same PFD I use.  I've had it for five years and although it is a little discolored it shows no wear.  I'd buy it again.
