Title: Another noob! :) ... this is an addicting board!
Post by: BillS on August 18, 2009, 05:01:03 PM
Hey all!..  I met one of your members in his shop in windsor and somehow the topic turned to fishing.. imagine that..  and yakking.. so he gave me the addy of this place and Ive been lurking it for a month or two.   Been kayaking for years and fishing the north coast for many years but never really put the two together.    I finally picked up a SOT to start with and am working on rigging it up and getting out there!

Welcome aboard Bill! It will even be more addicting once you get a taste of a get
together. Tons of food, great people to share fishing stories and laughs. See you
on the water soon.

I spent the day at lake sonoma trying the manta ray out..  the boat performed even better than I had hoped!   I was amazed at how well it turns, backs, and maneuvers around obstacles. (lots of obstacles in the yorty creek area  of the lake atm)   I spent quite a bit of time getting on and off the boat in deep water, much easier than I thought it might be.   Next step is getting some rod holders installed.   :smt003

heres a pic of the naked yak

Cool!  My schedule is also flexible most of the time as well.   I'm not sure when I will be able to hit the salt as I still need a few things for that..wetsuit, dry top, vhf and prob a fish finder, etc..   till then I'm def up for at least some freshwater fishing.

Welcome to the madness, Bill.

I have a manta ray 14 also, same color, even.  It's been a good boat, although it's not the fastest boat on the water.

See you otw!  I need to get up to lk Sonoma.
