I might be able to join you.. it's actually be my first time in the kayak. I've float tubed the docks for bass a lot, but not sure what other critters to hunt farther out by the buoy line? I have to get back in early to make it to church, so we'd probably launch at greylight.. like 6am or maybe 630am. I'll let you know. Mobile phone should work, or I can bring my VHF.
