Excited, Curious and Nervous Newbi!!!

Hello All, my name is Jeff. 
I found your site while doing my research on kayaks when I was looking to buy one. I have since purchased a 2009 O.K. Prowler 15 Angler from a retired Marine who only used it 4 times then covered it up and stuck it in a shed. After talking with our vet for some time he just did not like using it as much as his u-shape float tube. My gain as this OK looked like it just came off the self. No major extras other than an upgraded seat and paddle. I’m looking for a PFD now. I'm planning to fish central coast and central valley lakes and rivers. I have only been on a kayak once in a lake. I have a good friend over on the coast that's willing to show me the ropes on the ocean fishing so very excited about that this spring. Nervous about learning the wrong things or bad habits if there is any to be had on a yak, that and the Land lord as most of you refer to the GW as lol!!!!!! Very curious about to many things, too Many to list as each day I come on here I find something new I’d like to try or add to my Kayak. Sadly the wife is keeping me on a tight leash on this hobby unlike my archery and duck hunting habit lol

Anyways I just wanted to introduce myself and I look forward to be able to contribute to this board, hopefully at some point.
I’m always open to new fishing buddies!!! I spend most of my time from Pismo north to pt Sur.  I hope to get the chance to bump into some of you out on the waters!!

Tight Lines All

This is a great site to learn from. If you get a chance some kayaking classes are always a plus.

WTTM! I remember when I got started- asking a bunch of questions and getting great tips from the bros- I still get great tips! Do a search of older posts on any questions, and fire away! Look forward to seeing u otw (on the water).

Peace 2 U

Yeah welcome dude!
Some trout action is heating up but if you get bored just look up old post in the meantime.

Once Duck season is over then I'm planning on taking my youngest out for a little trout action in the Yak. He has been bugging me to take him fishing now for the last 3 months. love that my 5 yo already loves the outdoors with his dad!!

Thanks for the warm welcome! looks to be a good group of guys on here looking to help a newbi!!

Welcome aboard Jeff.  You're coming to the right place for kayak fishing info.

Welcome Jeff, looks like the madness already has a tight grasp on you! 

Wttm jeff. theres an endless about of activities you can do off your yak, like hunting! make sure to read the safety first thread 1st, then so on to others. fill free to ask watever you want whenever you want, somebody will chimme in. the prowler is a great starter yak, espeacially in the ocean. Get ready now for the rockfish opener in april or may, you wont wanna miss it! ricci

Welcome! Next to that bottle of Boon's Farm I bought before my Jr. Prom in high school, my kayak is probably the best thing I ever bought.  Like Ricci said, there is so much you can do with it. Diving, fishing, hunting, paddling. You wont regret it man! Take care!
