Good to know. I have never tried fly fishing out my kayak, a Pelican Sentinel 100X. I'm sure being in a kayak with only sit down capabilities is not optimal, but I want to try it out. I'd really love to spin fish for bass out of it but I have only fly fished my entire life and am not sure where to start.
since this is a fly fishing forum i'm not gonna get to detailed into spin fishing, but in my opinion the easiest way to catch them for begginers is wacky rigging a 4-5 inch green pumpkin senko (soft plastic worm) on a wacky style hook. Just let it sink and then twitch it every now and then, pulling it up off the bottom. I'd try to find some ponds to start out at instead of bigger lakes simply because its much much easier to find the fish in a smaller body of water. I'm the exact opposite of you, Ive spin fished my whole life for everything, mostly bass, and have been trying out fly fishing for the past couple months. My first fly fishing trip for bass was a nightmare mostly because the only fly rod I have is meant for small stream trout and is like 7 feet long.
I have the same model kayak and do fly fish out of it though I usually have spinning gear as well. I mounted tracks on both sides and have rod holders capable of handling a fly rod(s). Before that I made a custom fly rod holder by mounting a Scotty to a piece of pvc that fits into the flush mount holders behind the seat.
Good to know that the kayak works well. I will investigate rod holders for it as the spinning rod holders obviously do not hold the fly rod. I will also take KrayFish's advice to go slow and avoid wind, especially in the lower profile kayak
