Hey from San Rafael!

My name is Matt Pearson and I have been doing a teensy bit of yak fishing on the Russian river in of all things a Hobie Tandem Island. I am an avid High Sierra fisherman and found myself on the Russian river from time to time and decided to cast a line in a more serious attempt. What a tough river! Hooked many, but landed few. The kayak helped change that and I am now gearing up for fishing in the bay. I will probably launch from China Camp as I am used to that location, but who knows. I am still working through how to do this withe sail and lines. We will see.

I have a new yak coming soon and cant wait to take the plunge! The photo is my first yak fish...well...keeper anyway.

Welcome to the madness Matt

Welcome to NCKA Matt.  Congrats on the first fish on a kayak, and the future purchase.   

Hi Matt, welcome to NCKA, quite a few on the site are using Hobie Sailing kayaks, so feel free to post your issues. I'm sure they will respond.
