I used to roll Zig-Zag style and now I roll sienna style.  If you got kids in Marin or near I'll throw up 10% ncka family discount for haircuts

Welcome to NCKA Eddie  :smt006
[/quote Thanks, new to the crew, and went out for my second time ever today.  Paradise pier tiburon, small craft advisory, learned way too much too quick.  Actually enjoyed the adventure and discovered not ideal conditions but could manage and navigate

Hi, my name is Ed and I live in Arroyo Grande, so I anticipate my adventures will mostly be on the Central Coast. I've been assembling equipment and trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks this site's members for their contributions to that goal!

I've done it all wrong and bought a Jackson Kraken 15 without trying it or any other kayak. Just the way I seem to do things. I've been eyeing it for a while and found a deal I couldn't pass up. I've bought all the suggested safety equipment and added some of my own--a pair of web fingered gloves in my pfd pocket just seemed like a good idea.

I moved back to CA a couple years ago after living in CO for over 30 yrs. My saltwater experience is limited to surf and pier fishing. Nice to be a member of your fine forum!
How did you do it all wrong by buying a Kraken?
Sorry, shoulda said greetings and welcome before trippin' on the nitty gritty, So hey, I'm an Ed and I got a Kraken, and one of my new favorite things to say now has a new meaning.  Let's get crackin. is now spelled differently in my mind :smt031

Ya'all are loaded with takin' care of business.  My japanese chef friend fisherman guy takes an icepick behind the eye to the spine and it imobilizes the fish, severing the spinal cord, then bleeds, but bonking sounds direct.
Ikejime is the official term

I always bleed any fish I plan to eat, then put it in ice ASAP. Better quality that way.
You bring ice on your kayak?  I have a jackson crate for some ice, but bleeding em' seems to be the first step in preservation

Jackson Kayak / Re: kraken stable enough for standing
« on: March 20, 2016, 08:00:33 PM »
I have been looking into my first big kayak purchase going from an ascend 10 and found a great deal on the kraken 15.5 just wondering if it's stable enough to stand and fish from. Beginning to gather there is no do it all kayak and I have been looking all over the Web and some say yes while others say not so much. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also I'm 6'2 190 lbs if that makes any difference
Just bought a kraken and haven't practiced standing, I think you may find sitting to be the mo of salty fishing.  I could be wrong, i've crawled forward, and turned completely backward over my seat to grab stuff, 5'8 163lb, steady but wiggly, with some chop you'll be sittin' quick.  Maybe you could master standing and give me courage.  Love my Kraken

Thank you, keepin it real and on the cheap.  On that note, no need to put anything on ice while fishing, due to the freshness of the catch?  Do you bleed your fish?

No, I don't bleed my fish.  Just the opposite.  Thanks to the fangs on lings I usually end up with a bloody finger or two.
Wow, I've seen LoletaEric videos on youtube and he manhandles em' and it gives me courage.  Thanks for the info, and I hear my blood has a good color.
