New Guy

Hi NCKA,

Just wanted to introduce myself.  I'm a newbie looking to get into kayak fishing.  I've been a fisherman for my whole live and just learned to scuba dive a few months ago.  A friend of mine told me about this group and said I should join.  His name is Sunny...not sure what his handle is. 

Anyway, I live in Sacramento and hunt n' fish all over the west.  I have an 16 foot tracker v bottom I fish all over the state including the bay, rivers, and lakes.  I dont own a Kayak yet...but am in the market.  If anyone on here has one for sale that is totally rigged up let me know.  I'm willing to spend some $$, but have a lot of stuff to trade as well.  If there are any fellow deer hunters here I have a new in the box never shot savage 30.06 +$$ I'd be willing to trade.

Some of you might know me from other sites...my handle is usually some variation of birddog.  I try and always write reports after I come home and try and take pictures...I a better report maker than pic taker.

Anyway, website looks cool. 

Cheers,
Joe

Welcome aboard! Pics are worth A thousand words!

Welcome to NCKA Joe.  I have a rigged up kayak (rod holders, fish finder, etc...) that we might work out a trade with your 30.06.  PM me if you interested or for more details about the yak.

Thanks guys.  Yeah, seems like a great community you guys have going on here.

Sailfish, pm sent.

Welcome to the madness BirdDog!

Welcome to NCKA Joe!!

WTTM, I recognize you from JHO I think.  I haven't been on there in several years, kind of migrated over here  .  Though I don't have any boats for sale, I have 3 loaners available most of the time if you want to get out on the water

The sad thing is that yak fishing has taken over all the life space usually filled with hunting and hiking....

It can get bad! 
Jim

Cool Jim sounds good.  I'll have to get out with you.  I fished the Feather River for stripers last weekend from my PB.  One could probably do a float trip down the feather in a kayak with live bait....I bet one could really get into them doing that.  Is that possible to do in a fishing kayak? 

Welcome Birddog......
If you ever wanna drift from Watt to Howe on the American let me know..

That's funny Jim,hunting fully took over my kayak fishing obsession, although I shot some ducks out of my kayak last season.

Thanks for all the insights on my gear and what not and the trade offers.  I revieced 2 trade offers one for a Feelfree Moken and the other for a Ocean SP. The SP fell through so looks like I'm getting the Feelfree.  I dont know anything about this boat and can find very many reviews.  I do know it is pretty heavy...

I also purchased a Uniden VHF, a Harvey's 2 piece wetsuit. \

I'm still in the market for a PFD. If you guys have any sugestions let me know.

Joe
