Went out Kayak fishing with my brother last week and now I'm hooked! Excuse the bad pun...
Starting out on my old kayak I had laying around. When I get a few more trips in I will probably begin looking for some better options but as of now I just want to catch some fish!

Last weeks trip I hooked in to a big lingcod and got so excited that I reeled him all the way in and above the water line, where my line snapped. Doh! Always learning!

Anyways my brother led me to this forum and I am looking forward to the wealth of knowledge and hope to have some input someday!

Yes RBark would be my brother. Hopefully I'll be joining him again the week after next kayak fishing outside of the harbor.

Sounds like a plan. Lets get us some monster fish!
Thresher in avatar and Soupfin Shark in signature both caught and pic taken by me.
3rd place Kayak Connection Derby, 2014
45th place / 423 pts / 3 Species - AOTY 2014 (nowhere to go but up!)
30th place / 1132.25 pts / 7 Species - AOTY 2015 (moving up a little!)

Always looking for new people to fish with!

Yea if you ever fish with me ask me how I got my nickname. It's a rather funny story. Figured its much easier to remember than the Orwellian blandness of Mbarker.ca heh

And yes RBark as long as you keep catching my bait we will get the big fish! Just kidding!
