I’m a new member and wanted to introduce myself.  :smt006

I’m not new to fishing (though now few and far between), but a kayak angler I am not. In fact, it was pure happenstance that a confluence of events led me to Seattle and in touch with kayak fishing aficionado, Mr. Brad Hole of Kayak Fishing Washington, that’s now got me hooked!! He recommended that I checkout this site, so here I am....

I’m a resident of San Francisco and have been waiting for that elusive moment when free time meets putting down the golf clubs (friends not me) and making a trip to Alaska. However, I’m learning very quickly that a long trek up north is not necessary to do some quality fishing, locally. Thank you Bushy for all the info and I look forward to hitting the waters with you shortly. Additionally, and naturally, I’m in the market for a kayak and I suppose a car rack, so any help pointing this novice in the right direction would be appreciated (one can only Google so much, esp. on a work day  :smt003) Anyway, looking forward to learning, sharing, joining groups/event, and most of all …  adventure!  :smt004

Welcome!

It might be worth calling around to kayak rental facilities in Santa Cruz, Monterey, half moon bay, etc.. When they upgrade their fleet of kayaks, you might be able to score a good deal on a used one.

Also, keep an eye on the Classifieds section of this site (not sure you can access it until you have 10 posts?).
