Hey all,
This is my first post on this board. Been guilty of lurking for a while, and figured it was time to come out of the closet  Just like to introduce myself and give a little info about me. I live in Sebastopol, been fishing for almost everything for most of my life, but only been paddling after em for a couple years now. I have to say the yak has put ALOT of the fun back into fishing for me. Mostly I've used it in the ocean for the rockies, abs, and crabs. Also done some lake fishing with it, and use my Hyside inflatable on the rivers for steelies. I have a Prowler, and Quest for the ocean and lake stuff. Had a blast just outfitting the yaks. Did a lot of research via net sites like this one to get ideas. You guys have been very helpful, thank you, and hopefully when I figure out how to post some pics, I can start posting a few of my ideas to pass along. I've always said, "necessity is the mother of invention"... Anyways I'm looking forward to hooking up with some of you guys on the water. Mooch, you ARE THE KING!!! Man you get around don't you? And I thought us firemen had a lot of time to get out!... I'm always up for a midweek adventure, and squeeze in a weekend now and then. You dino hunters are NUTS!!  Think I want to give that a try too. Looks like a blast. Must be something like bull ridin eh? Anyways enuf rambling, and on with the report. I hit Sonoma for the landlock steelies right before the last rains and picked up a couple trolling plugs around the shorelines. Fished right on top. Not many fishing it, and the lake is in perfect shape still clear. Any wild mushroom hunters out there too? Shroom season is kicking into high gear too. Always up fro a foray.  Would love to go on some of your overnight campin/fishin trips for sure.
