Thanks for having me. My name is David and I've been looking at way to many videos of people fishing with Kayaks and I'm ready to make the move. I live in Novato Ca and work in the north bay. Im looking for any input on a beach or launch where I can possibly chat with some fisherman/women about general info.
Ive had small boats and have fished the bay and ocean but never in a kayak.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

David

Welcome
I would recommend a guided fishing trip first to make sure it is for you.  After that, you can decide where to fish and what kind of kayak and gears to purchase.  If you have any detail questions, feel free to email or PM me.  I am still a beginner but willing to share my limited knowledge.
