how to kayak fish???????

i dont know if i should buy a kayak i want to go fishing for trout bass catfish and maybe stripers but i want to know when your fishing for trout (trolling) where do you put the fishing pole and then where do you keep the fish if i put them on a stringer won’t they try to pull the kayak and then i wont be able to paddle and troll also i am not using a electric kayak because i dont want to register it

What is a good, compact fishing pole I can use in my kayak?

I’ll be on small rivers, lakes and ponds, going after bass, trout and the like. I just find a conventional pole to be really awkward to deal with while sitting in a kayak. Any ideas?
Mark D – good answer, but in my case I’ve already got the kayak; it’s an 8′ recreational one. Sooo…I’ve gotta find a pole that suits the ‘yak, not visa-versa.
