Starter advice

[alancooper]

Hello all,
A north-western Irish jetty - beutiful evening - calm sea - fish biting. What more could you want? - well - not to be surrounded by mackerel bashers!
OK.......
1. Kayacs seem easily transportable and launched.
2. They seem to offer flexibility without the time committment of a motorised craft.
3. The range of marks is increased.
The questions are:
1. Can a land-lubber shore angler lacking in fitness and youth start?
2. Are there web-sites or books that can introduce me to it.
3. Will I spend more time organising a trip than fishing (all I need do at present is put my rod in the car and drive to the coast)?
