Another Newbie with A.i.

Hello every one...   Name is Tim...  I bought Halibu77's yak...  a Adventure Island.  I'm still learning the ropes on the water, and looking for tips and ideas.  It would be cool to maybe go fish with some new people at some point too!  I'm located in the Fort Bragg area...  and have taken my yak out once now in Caspar.  There is good cod fishing there, but I was informed this is now over.  Is any one from around that area knowledgeable who would like to share a tip or two?  I suppose the big fish are further out...  but I don't have a radio yet.  Any chance at a salmon around there that close in?   Just need to get schooled a bit...   open for suggestions...  I will be making some videos from this boat also of catches and trips...  stay tuned...
