I just got a Malibu stealth and am looking for some advice. What are the top mods/riggings that you have done to make fishing easier?
Also with the weather turning colder any recommendations on clothing to keep you comfortable on the water?
Thanks in advance.
Talk To Capt. Dave and he can give you rigging advice for the Malibu line. As for clothing, dress in layers. It’s common to have a 20 degree temp swing from morning to afternoon. I usually wear a waterproof outer shell and several layers underneath that can be removed as needed. I also keep a dry set of clothes in a waterproof container in my front hatch. Once the combined air/water temp dips below 120 you are at risk of hypothermia if you end up in the drink. I also start wearing hip waders this time of year and keep a pair of dry socks in a ziplock bag. Most people prefer chest waders but they seem like they would be difficult to swim in if a problem arises. You should check out Lowcountry Kayak Anglers. They have a website and Facebook group. They meet and fish once a month. It’s a good way to talk to a bunch of kayak anglers at one time and share advice. Good luck out there on the water. Stay safe and tight lines.
Plus1 for Capt Dave. He manages time out sport and ski over in Mt Pleasant. Before I went and bought my rigging from Capt Dave I did a lot of YouTube research to see how other people rigged their kayaks and then I determined what was best for me. This forum has a lot of info and everyone is helpful.
tobs you got your Daves mixed-up. Captain Dave is a local Malibu dealer…Dolphin Dave is at Time Out Sports. 
BTW Captain Dave’s website is fishingkayakssc.com - he’d be your go-to guy for Malibu kayaks…
Dolphin Dave has a lot of good kayak rigging stuff at Time Out Sports, in Mount Pleasant. I know they got a fresh shipment of YakAttack gear in recently, too…
I am wearing my Muck Boots to keep my feet dry getting into/out of the kayak at the launch. Legs I have a pair of cold-weather compression pants, with a pair of fishing pants layered on top of that…if it rains, I will wear a rainsuit shell pant over that. I do layers for the top too - compression turtleneck shirt with a polyester shirt over that, and a rain jacket or heavier jacket as the outer layer. Bring a change of clothes and towels in case of getting soaked. Stick with the polyester fabrics instead of cotton - they dry faster.
