Hi Everyone,

Just joined NCKA and wanted to introduce myself.  I'm originally from Ohio, but moved to Sonoma county in 1990.  I've been a "fishin' fool" since I was two years old, and have been in some version of watercraft since then, mainly canoes and kayaks.  If it swims, I try to catch it.  My son has been joining me on fishing trips since he was 3.  He's 10 now, so last year we bought a couple of used Hobie PA's on Craigslist and have been getting out on the water together.  But as we start venturing farther from shore, I thought it would be wise to connect with a group who knows what they're doing, so I'm here to learn from you all.  Looking forward to it!

Matt

Welcome, SA.

I'm a native Iowan, and I grew up fishing farm ponds. lakes, and rivers in the upper midwest.
