Hi Everyone,

I recently joined the forum and wanted to introduce myself. I live in the South Bay and own a couple of Hobie Kayaks, an Adventure and a Sport. I've been into fishing for most of my life and I'm interested in giving kayak fishing a try. I'm in the process of outfitting the Adventure for fishing and am looking forward to learning all I can from this forum.

-Brian

Welcome Brian!  I'm from the Southbay as well and busy working on rigging my Adventure/AI.  Let me know if you have any questions along the way and I look forward to see you OTW!

I pedal an Adventure and on occasion I even catch a fish from it...

Welcome Brian. It sounds like you already like kayaking and fishing. Combining them is even better!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Hoping I can get out on the water soon. I will most likely start off with some fresh water action, but want to go after some rock fish at some point too. I've been out in the bay (alameda) a couple times, but not with a fully rigged for fishing yak. Just need to get usedto my system before venturing out in the big blue.
