Hello everyone,

New member here. I am from San Francisco and I do a lot of fishing on the surf for striper and perch, but I have been wanting to get into kayak fishing for a while now. My main concerns before getting into the hobby are budget and safety. Hope to find and share useful information here.

Thanks,
Jon
