Hey guys,

New to kayak fishing. Bought my first kayak a few months ago and loving it so far. I live in the east bay so plan on hitting up some local lakes and delta and would like to make it out to the bay eventually.

Welcome to the NCKA Dorian. I知 fairly new to kayak fishing in the ocean and I知 really starting to get the hang of it (2 months). Never done fresh water fishing but it looks cool though. There are always tons of meet ups for ocean fishing and I知 sure for bay fishing as well. Hopefully I値l see you on the water sometime.
It痴 called fishing, not catching. Coming back alive means you had a great day. Coming back with fish is a great bonus on top of a great day.

Sorry for the late response. i love the auto pilot. the spot lock is probably the best feature about it. you end up spending a little more cause of the battery but i think it worth the money.
