My name is Kern and I live in Newman, Ca.  I have fished my entire life but have never been in a kayak.  I want to get into kayak fishing.  I am almost 63 years old and have been married to the most perfect lady on the planet for 41 years!  I have two grown kids who are as great as their mother!  I intend on buying a Hobie of some kind.  I really like the idea of hands free travel.  I currently fish a lot from a float tube.  If it swims I want to catch it.  I also like golfing, hunting, and going to the movies with my wife.  I am looking forward to making new fishing friends!

WTTM Kern!!! Can't go wrong with a hobie. The outback is super stable. I have a Revolution and love it. Not as wide as the outback but a little quicker. Oh, and if you go with a hobie upgrade to the sailing rudder and turbo fins.

WTTM Ken, I think when you are writing your introduction, your wife must be next to you, hence Perfect wife.  :smt002 most like saying can I buy a Kayak?  :smt044 :smt044

Welcome Kern.
You just scored some major WAF.
Stick around a while and you'll learn just how valuable that is.  :smt003

welcome
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore.”
