NEVER though I would be in this forum LOL. Wife has been wanting a paddleboard for awhile and, well long story short I have a stand up paddle board now also and I want to make it capable of some light duty fishing. It seems that around here this is not real common. Any tips or things I that I might not be thinking of with regards to my venture. As of now I have a 11'-33" board that is moderately stable for me when standing. I took it out for the first time a few days ago just testing it out without fishing. The board has some built in screw in points for adding some gear already. For reference its a Pau-Hana Big EZ Ricochet.

Things im planning to implement: (* things I already have)
Cooler seat *
Anchor system
rod holder for storage beind me and in front of me if I want to troll a bit
Life jacket *
some type of outrigger system for more stability (probably home made)
paddle holding clip

Things I might consider using:
Vexilar Flasher*
led lights
something to keep fish in? like crappie/saugeye


So have I lost my mind? I will not be taking this on any moving water just lakes. Also seriously doubt that I will be using it once the water gets dangerously cold. Since I have yet to make a cast off this thing just wondering if there is anything from a preparedness standpoint that im missing or something that I might add to make this super cool? Thanks for any insight.
