Got a really good deal on a Ascend 128T, now I start adapting it to me and vice versa. I accept all helpful hints on what are priorities.

Congrats. I've had mine for nearly 6 years. Great kayak, very stable. Turns like a battleship. Recommend you get a rudder. Also I put 2 foam pad rollers (like the kind you would use for your back) inside on the side of the kayak to better support my weight when standing. I also built my own rod holders out of pvc pipe. This pic isn't mine...but mine is identical, just a shorter span.

Thanks, rudder was on my list. Good ideal about the foam rollers.

Congratulations, no experience with that particular kayak, but there are a LOT of kayak fisherman in our area.
Maybe be I’ll see you on the water sometime.

My suggestion is simple. Take it out fishing a half dozen times. Then, do what you need. Don't start putting things on and later find out they weren't needed, or you put them in the wrong place.
^^Great advice.

Wow, took it on maiden voyage today. I got a lot of learning to do. In my defense had fast current and shallow water. I did catch fish and didn't turn over so I'm calling it a win.

Good for you. Maiden voyages in difficult conditions can turn some guys off. Glad it didn't for you. Calm waters; an anchor trolley; a drift chute; a stick anchor... can all make kayak fishing a dream.
