I used to kayak fish a lot . . . . . before it was cool.
A few thoughts.
1. Practice self rescue. If you know and practice a procedure it can save your life. Practice WITH the life jacket on.
2. In the age of the $3000 fishing kayak, an $99 PLB and/or $99 hand held VHF are probably good additions to the gear set.
