In the salt, Be aware of your surroundings, environmental factors and location. At six miles out, wind and current/drip can bring you farther than you thought from your launch area and If even just a light fog creeps in between you and the shore you might not find it in the way back unless you’re familiar with the landmarks or proficient in electronics navigation. Plan ahead of your trip. Weather, tides, swells and specially wind and current directions. Be safe!

My first leopard from ARW

I have to scratch the itch! ... rain or shine I’ll will fish at GS13! See you guys there!

Anybody hitting Timber Cove on Memorial Day weekend?

 I fish Benicia shoreline for stripers a lot (even at night before)! Not too much on salmon, never had luck! After buying my first kayak I seldom visit my spots anymore. I'm more to yaking the ocean now...more fun! Guess I see you in the water one of these days...I do troll Benicia waters sometimes! Welcome !

Finally got to see the NCKA community in action! Thanks Eric. It's my first GS and it exceeded my expectations. I never felt out of place as a new comer. Shout out to all our NCKA brothers and sisters, you all are amazing! I'm looking forward for the next GS!

Thanks for the service brother! I feel your sentiment about our past Cmdr-in Chief. I felt the same way when I served from Bush to Clinton. Anyways yes Clear Lake is the place for quality catfish and crappies. There's a launch site at the south end by the SRA campsite. Good luck, see you on the water someday.
