I've been following this thread, and many others, even sneaking peeks while sitting in my office staring at Mt. Diablo from my office window, daydreaming of this weekend's fishing adventure (from land of course since I don't have my yak, lol).
 
So many great and truly honest replies in this thread about my OP.

There were some interesting posts about 'SG.' Not sure what that was about, but hope to find out some day

Nothing has dissuaded me from jumping into the sport. You guys have only fueled the fire! I'm still targeting later this year or early next for purchasing my yak. I'll buy a new yak, but thanks to the forum, I have researched many of the things that I think are the most important to me. I'll share those when I get closer to having the yak. Thanks again all!

As I mentioned in my 'Intro Post,' I'm seriously looking at getting a new fishing kayak. I've never fished from a kayak before, but watching all those YouTube videos of catching big lingcods, rock fish, salmon, and stripers is strongly enticing me to drop some $$$ into a quality pedal Yak.

I do plan on trying it out first (rental somewhere), but before I pull the trigger for my own yak, I'm hoping some of you could share your opinions about the sport. Good and bad, what can I expect? What do you like, what do you hate? Any regrets? Thanks all

Hi all,

Just a quick introduction here. I just joined NCKA because I'm planning on picking up a new 2019 Hobie Outback later this year or early 2019. I'm based out of San Ramon. I fish the lakes, rivers, bay, and surf, but have never been kayak fishing. Before I even head out to buy my Outback, I'll check out the many posts here to learn as much as I can about kayak fishing. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions, so I'm hoping you could guide me along the way. Hope to meet many of you on the water, and join in on a few kayak hookups.

Best regards,
'A-Rod'
