Hello everybody

Just wanted to say hi and super stoked to join NorCal! I have been an avid angler all my life, and in the last 15 years took on kayak fishing. I spent 10 years on the East Coast chasing monster striped bass on the Long Island Sound. Back east I was part of the angler group yakdawgs. After living by the water and fishing predawn for years before going to work, I moved to California where I have been fishing from the Sierras to the Pacific Shore. I love it here. I have traveled to the Amazon and Orinoco basin after peacock bass, golden dorado, payara and the giant catfish of south america. I have also done a great deal of fishing on the flats of the Caribbean

I currently have 2 wilderness systems kayaks (tarpon 140)

Looking forward to interact with fellow anglers. I am located in the South Bay

Tight lines
Andres (orinocodogfish)

Welcome!

Tarpon 140s are classic yaks!

Are you sure your name isn’t Jeremy Wade?

Thank you all for the welcome messages! No Jeremy Wade here. Just lucky I have family in South America that have access to amazing untouched waters, otherwise paying full retail for a fishing trip with the expensive outfitters is like 20 paygrades above mine 😵‍💫🤯🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
