 Welcome, Steve.  My advice is to keep to the basics and keep it simple.  To get started all you need is a rod holder, a paddle leash and an anchor.  Come on some outings, get a little experience, look at how others rig their yaks and ask questions before you start drilling holes you may regret.  The beauty of the kayak is in its simplicity.  Have a PFD and wear it!

We have a meeting Tues. night at REI.  I, along with others, will be happy to share rigging thoughts with you.

I agree with Barry.  Keep it simple at first and add things that you think you need as you spend more time on the water.  I only have rod holders and a paddle strap and have been using my kayak for over 10 years that way.
