Santa Cruz Raptor
I bought a Santa Cruz Raptor after a test ride..(first ride in a kayak)  ... set it up for fishing with ideas I got from this and other sites. Went out for first fishing trip not really knowing what I was doing (( I am having a blast figuring it out)) after 6 hours in not so calm seas I catch a keeper Salmon trolling a wounded  anchove bait.
WOW is this fun , I can not wait until weeks end and a few days offshore Kayak fishing!!
I am new and green and would welcome any helpful advise or tips .
Thanks and Tight lines to all
