Hi everyone, I just picked up a OK trident 13 and am chomping at the bit to dive and fish from this rig. lots of spearing experience locally (Monterey, carmel, big sur) and abroad, fii level 1 cert, and  good amount of ocean line fishing (though not from a kayak as this is my first). I have some prior paddling experience and am excited to have more open access to good spots. i try to get to the water often and look forward to fishing and spearing with some ncka members! don't hesitate to drop me a line if anyone is looking for a dive or yak fishn buddy for the day. take care and happy holidays!  Kris

Welcome to NCKA.  If you ever get up to Mendocino let me know.  I like to keep up on my level 1 practice so it doesn't fade.  A kayak sure helps expand your fishing areas.
