Whats up everyone, Im Kelly (im a guy, haha). 

I got my fishing kayak a few weeks ago with a budy of mine, and we both started fishing together.  I must say we are pretty green in the fishing world not just kayak fishing but its a blast! 

I was turned onto this forum just yesterday while we were out fishing at Negro bar near folsom prison kinda I ran into ATD, a member on here haha.  I have to say I am suprised i never came accross this forum while doing my kayak research, seems like alot of the kayak forums are pretty dead.

Well anyways, here is a pic of my kayak, nothing special other than my Lowrance X4pro that i just installed about a week ago (still learning how to use it though haha) Thats my budy on the left lol.

Welcome
read the safety forums to get an idea what you will need, (VHF) be safe on the water first, fish will come.

see you on the water.

ATD Mentioned a guy that was really good with the Lowrance FF's but i cant member the screen name or where to look for him on here.  I guess he is local to the sacramento area.  The little advice he gave me yesterday on the FF helped quite a bit but i still need to fiddle with it and get a complete understanding of how it all works, ive never used one before haha.

Welcome aboard and to the madness Kelly.  Send Bill/FishingForTheCure a PM as he's one of the guys who affiliates with Lowrance.
