New in Madera. Bought Kilroy in Lodi. What the heck??

Hello,
I am new to kayaking.  Sometimes I look at myself and wonder what are you doing?  I have fished a lot over the years but never had a boat.  Never wanted one.  I have started reading about kayaks for several weeks and see the tremendous amount of fun that occurs out there.  Decided to buy the kayak and get fishing again.  It has been awhile.

I saw some kayaks going in Bass Lake several weeks ago and that is what got me going.  Yesterday I ordered the kayak.  Don't even have it yet. I hope in a few weeks it will be here.  From there I am not sure. I will hit some rivers and streams and see what happens.  The San Joaquin and Lakes east of MADERA then who knows what else.

Spoke to my brother and mentioned this. He likes to duck hunt. I hunted for a few years, never enjoyed freezing my butt off.  However, am thinking I may do some hunting this year.  He seems to think it would work well.  Of course, I have looked for last week or so on duck videos...it just seems to be amazing.

Anyway, can't wait to see how this all goes!

Thanks
MadMedik

Welcome! Glad to see you joined the boards. Looks like the we will be meeting up on July 19th for you to pick up your kayak, fish for bass and drink some Lodi Wine. Going to be fun!

That probably sounds good. Thanks...hey I thought I read somewhere that the 1000 hit on posting items gets a free kayak !!  Is that true?

Well I did get a new kayak for my birthday today, but I'm pretty sure I had to pay for it. 

Welcome madmedik, hope to see you in one of the event this year and slay some fish. Congrats on the yak.

Welcome aboard and to the madness MadMedik.  Which kayak did you pick?

I bought the Kilroy.  Mostly small streams and lakes around here.  I don't really want to do any ocean kayaking.  I think it will be good for me. 

Welcome and good luck out there.

I like the seat on the Kilroy.  Looks like a sweet yak for lakes & streams.

If they were fishing from the kayaks a few weeks ago in bass lake it might have been Me their. Welcome to the madness.

I think it was Sunday of fishing derby.   I was on last pier in front of spillway/dam.  I asked if that was a fish finder?  They joyfully replied YES,!  Too much fun.   

Welcome aboard the kilroy is a sweet lookin yak
