Bought this used Hobie 2009 Hobie Sport I am ready to fish :)

Hello everyone,

First of all this is my first post and I just join NCKA after being in here for 2 weeks and then bought my very first Kayak after all the research in here and thanks a bunch for all the very useful information for newbie like me to get into kayak fishing. I don't know if it was a good deal or not but I bought this Hobie sport with Lowrance x67c fish finder with 12v rechargebal battery, turbo fin,regular fin, side kick, fish bucket, and the wheel for $1,200. I took it out to the lake and everything work and it was my first time using a fish finder and was very happy to see all the fish in the water . Well if there anything else I should know please feel free to drop me a tip. For now I will only fish local lakes and ponds, not planning to fish the ocean yet because gas is too high for 2-3 hours drive and I don't know anyone or have any friends that fish the ocean, delta, or the bays. below are pictures of my rig....the camera pole is for my Canon60d

yeah good deal with all the extras....WTTM

thanks....j/w who started the wttm? and why? just curious....

WTTM! I don't know the answer to your 'origins' of the phrase WTTM question but I do know you are going to get a lot of miles & fun out of your yak.

Welcome To The Madness (WTTM). I credit Mooch for that one. The phrase is pretty self explanatory. You'll see after a while. 

Welcome aboard Bruce.  The Hobie Sport was my first Hobie kayak and I love it.  You've got a good deal on it.  See you OTW soon.

Will definitely be a madness if it hasn't already sink in.  Eric(yakhopper) is near you so you have a guy
right there that will show you the ropes. Hope to fish with you soon.

Congrats on the steal Bruce, nice yak you have there..  I'm a fan of the safety orange but unfortunately they no longer make them in that color.

That looks very nice.. hope to see you OTW

Congrats on the yak! I just started last year and am mostly landlocked here in Reddding..for the same reasons... money for gas and time. The NCKA website is addicting... great fish tales... I like the lakes up here...if you are ever up this way ..... Best of luck

Thank You fellas...hope to fish with ya sometime in the future maybe one of the tournament. But if there is ever a meet up I need to know about it

Nice looking rig. Looks like it's in great shape too.

Looks like that would be a great boat for flooded wood and trees.

I think you got a great deal. Not to have to pay the sales tax is a big savings by itself. I will start fishing the Delta soon after I get organized. Maybe we can hook up then and I'll show you some of my favorites

WTTM always keep your yak next to the fridge
You'd have a hard time picking a better neighbor than yakhopper, Consider your self lucky. You'll find him at FW (manager). 

thanks folk
