Just got my first yak! hoping to find someone to go with on tuesday 8/19

been on the board for awhile, but finally got my own yak, a tarpon 160. i live in santa rosa and am hoping to find someone willing to show me some basic stuff, either mellow salt (bodega harbor? tomales?) or freshwater out on mendo or lake sonoma. im a total newbie to kayak fishing (but not fishing in general), so any help is appreciated. im hoping to get enough experience before rockfish season closes and maybe bag a ling or two at Salt Point.  thanks guys

Perry - There's a few of us in Santa Rosa and the area, so you should have no problems hooking up. Unfortunately I'm on injured reserve for at least another 2 - 3 weeks. 

In the meantime there's always good bluegill action up at Spring Lake. I know...blue gill...but they're a lot of fun on ultra lite tackle and it's a good way to get to know your boat while fishing. That's how rigging ideas will come to you.

BTW - are you the same Perry from the PFIC board?

yeah! whats up dustin? i saw your post about your finger, thats pretty crazy i hope its healing well. i'll give spring lake a try, i didnt even think of that and its only a few minutes from my house. maybe i'll drift around for cats or something if the bluegill get old. hope you heal up quick, itd be awesome to fish with you (and maybe james?) again.
