Firstly to get you going there is loads of info on this site,

www.anglersafloat.co.uk/Kayak_Articles.html

That will give you a start before the resident proffesionals turn up to help you.

As far as being like "Reginald Perrin" you'll be fine as he faked his death.

Hi Nibblett, sounds stupid I know but hope you can swim because looking at the kayaks I reckon that you will end up in the water sooner or later, especially getting towed about by a big smut off of Hillhead
have a great time

and if you do you just climb back on and carry on fishing just make sure that everything is tied (clipped) to the kayak so you don't loose anything, the only times I have capsizes is on launching much to the amusement of general public that were watching me

If your really unlucky, you'll come back as Martin Clunes in a terrible attempt to revive a classic on prime time BBC!!!!!
