New to the game, coming from Vallejo

Hey guys!
So I recently suffered an ACL tear playing competitive soccer and had to take some time off. Since fishing is my second passion, I picked up a kayak 2 month ago and began to go to work. I picked up a Tarpon 140 and began with a stern mounted trolling motor installation, along with a live baitwell. Don't get me wrong, I understand that kayaking is meant to be manually paddled,  but after a rough experience in the bay and the amount of ground I would like to cover halibut fishing, I saw it more of a necessity. Don't know whats going on with Berkley, but apparently they're not selling live anchovies anymore, which is a bummer. Other than that, i'm really loving the hobbie and i'm looking foward to coming across a few of you who have had great experiences in the water on your yak. So far i've experienced Berkley flats for halibut fishing and Santa Cruz for some awesome Ling Cod action.
I should be close to finishing my Yak in about a week and graduating from college next month, after that I should be out on the water a little more often trying to hopefully cross off the last fish on my list (Halibut) while still waiting on the healing process to finally go back to playing the sport I love most.       

Welcome to NCKA, Chivo!  I hurt my knee playing soccer too, and I love that sport so much.  Kayakfishing is pretty badass, but even paddling 15 miles on the ocean doesn't compare to the sprints and full body workout on the field.

There's a lot of fantastic nature interactions and spiritual special times on the water though.  Good luck out there, and hope to meet you some time.   

After you get that halibut be sure to go for an ocean king - you may not go back to white meat.

Sincerely,

Where are you guys at?!?! Haha. I just took my motor powered tarpon out to the waterfront today, and man I sure get a lot of thumbs up on my out. Hoping to make a trip out to the bay soon, what places do you like to hit up?
