Hi, Just got off the phone with Bushy!  :smt001Wow what a nice fella and what a great site! Thanks for doing all you guys do! Kayak fishing is such a wonderful way to spend time......so peaceful, no engine noise or fuel fumes, and if you catch a fish, well that's a bonus.

Most kayak anglers I know are wonderful people and you guys seem to fit that description.

Anyway, My name is Tom and I currently live in Boston. I grew up in the other LA (lower Alabama) and did a lot of kayak fishing down there (attached is a Jack I caught in Mobile Bay = another "bay area") last Oct while fishing with live finger mullet with my twin brother.

I target stripped bass here in Boston, but the season ends at the end of OCT and it is so cold in the winter, and I'm such a wimp that despite a dry suit & safety gear,  I don't usually go again until April/May.

Anyway In a few weeks I am interviewing for a Job in San Fran and your website might make it possible for me to continue my love of kayak fishing on another coast.

Thanks and Take Care,
Tom

Welcome!

Glad to know that us West Coasters aren't the only ones who spell "stripers" wrong.   :smt003

Good luck on your interview! If you make it out here we'll have to put you on some lingcod and rockfish when the season opens back up. Our stripers are unfortunately quite a bit smaller, on average, than y'alls.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I better watch the spelling. Certainly don't want folks thinking I'm targeting Strippers instead of stripers on the east coast! Wife wouldn't like that.
Anyhow, Awesome site! If the the job looks good, I might become a regular. If not, you guys feel free to track me down should you be free in or around Boston and have the itch to go after a striper (a fish, not a stripper). OR if you are in lower Alabama and want to catch a Jack or big redfish or speckled trout....etc. 
Take Care,
TB

Thanks for the great intro & WTTM! You'll find our strippers aren't quite as big...but sometimes svelte & feisty is better hahaha!

WTTM NorCal style.  Awesome jack there!  It doesn't get to cold here (or at least a warmer spot is a reasonable drive away) so your dry suit can get use 12 months of the year ;)
Good luck on the interview.
