It allowed me to hold in productive water against wind and current. A small rope with a clip on the anchor line helps pull the anchor rope back to the cockpit for getting under way again. You are likely to encounter toothy critters, such as bluefish, so a small net, or Boga Grip will prove mighty useful. Tactics are the same as fly fishing from a small skiff, only you can now get into even skinnier water, and a heck of a lot more quietly, too. Trolling is a practical way to cover more water while you are getting to where you are going.
Some kayak anglers use rod holders that swivel to allow trolling.
I troll by bracing the rod handle under my leg, and let the rod cross in front of my body under the opposite arm. It works, but don't forget the safety string tied to the rod butt. Sinking lines help while trolling, and be sure to set a fairly loose drag to prevent break-offs and broken rod tips. Due to your seated position, casting will take some getting used to, but you'll get the hang of it. I make out fine with 9-foot models.
