Hello everyone my name is Dan, I just moved to California this past November from Illinois. I am a Navy Vet fresh out of the service, my wife is still Active Duty. I have been a kayak/canoe fishermen for about 3 years and try to get out as much as I can. I was stationed in Great Lakes Illinois where I have some experience trolling for Salmon, though I spend most of my time fishing for Bass. I am glad to have found my way to this forum, it has been a dream to hit the ocean for Halibut and Ling cod.

I am looking for kayak buddies in the Central Valley Area, it is getting lonely paddling by myself. Shoot me a PM if you would wouldn't mind me tagging along. I have had good luck on the Kings but have been skunked at Pine Flat and Lake Success.

I have been working on a fishing blog since October, check it out if you got a chance. If you got one, let me know and I'll add you to my blog roll.

Thanks for reading
Dan

Welcome Dan. My family are Navy too. For saltwater, I would hookup with Rhyaks crew who fish the central coast. They have a tournament series and many of the launches are non-surf. From Cambria north has some Sharky areas so fishing with a buddy is recommended. They have their own blog...
