Hello,

Been in the Bay Area for about a year now, California for the past 6.  Grew up fishing in Florida and east coast, mostly backwater, deep sea.  Have fished but once in the Pacific.  Looking to get back into it.  Just bought a tandem kayak with the hope to spend more time on the water, but immediately found myself watching YouTube videos of kayak fishing out of Half Moon Bay and Pacifica.  Hoping to explore the forum for gear and rigging recs.  Currently the only rod I have is a 6' st croix triumph spinning rod.  Looking forward to getting after it.

James
