My names Jacob. I just purchased my first kayak, a new to me Hobie 9ft mirage sport. Been out twice and both times were beautiful; I can’t wait to get back out before our Humboldt weather starts getting less than stellar.

No catches from the bay yet; a few bites here and there though. Haven’t really be focused on the fishing aspect as much since I’ve never been on a kayak in my adult life, but I’m hoping to get something on the boat soon.

Two questions:
Do I need a fish descender in the bay if I’m fishing near shore?
Can I have two rods on my kayak for trolling and casting? And if so, could I keep a third collapsible rod on the boat with the descender attached?

Thanks lads! Tight lines.

I would attend, even though I can't kayak anymore.  Especially if Crash can take orders for oysters!
Too soon to preemptively reserve a campsite or hotel room?

The F&G Commission hired a consulting firm to train staff, and commissioners on JEDI. I watched their presentation, and listened to the public comments. The commenters stated that only 5% of the general public hunt, or fish. So to them JEDI meant that the commission members should reflect the general public and be 95% non-hunters, or fishers.
