Title: Hello from Crescent
Post by: Mmais on February 24, 2018, 01:38:59 PM: Greetings,

My real name is Matt Mais. I’m a resident of Crescent City, Ca and am an avid kayak angler. I really appreciate being allowed to take part in this forum. I have an older model Hobie Rev and an much used Malibu two-seater. Most of my fishing is done solo in the ocean, but I prefer to go with another person. Please hit me up if you would like a partner. I am safety minded and at the same time like to push my boundaries. Above all, I have a deep respect for the sea. I’m always trying to figure out how to become a better fisher, whether it’s learning new rigging options, trolling techniques or baits. Right now, what i’m most excited about is expanding the number of species on my resume, particularly those that are flat, such as starry flounder, petrale sole and sand dabs. Lastly, I would like to thank the administrator again for access to what appears to be an amazing site. I can’t wait to see the rest of it.

Thank you,

Matt

Hope you were able to get out for some Dungeness this year. They've been great this year.

Post by: Mmais on February 27, 2018, 07:43:06 AM: Thank you very much for the warm welcome. crash, thank you for the invite to join in on the rock fish opener in Trinidad. I’ve only fished there by power boat, but always wanted to try it by yak. Thank you tote for the list of acronyms. It will take a minute to commit to memory. I also appreciate the extra motivation to wear my pfd. I get complacent sometimes in shallow water, which is no excuse. Thank you all!
