Monterey Beginner

After watching kayak fishermen from our boat for years I finally got down on the water to check it out. Under the tutelage of Allen B. I got a great intro to the sport from a fine teacher and fisherman.  Allen not only explained the basic concepts and important safety issues involved with kayaking, he also put us on the fish right off the bat.  Limits of rockies a short paddle off the beach in beautiful Monterey Bay! Now it's time to go shopping for a kayak and gear.  Thanks Allen and NCKA members who provided background info via this forum.       

WTTM..hope to see you on the water soon...

Hey Joe!!!  Lurker no more!

WTTM = welcome to the madness!

Pleasure to fish with you for the first (and not the last) time!!

marinjd..." life will never be the same" it is insanely fun...enjoy your time OTW and cya OTW sometime soon....welcome

Allen launched me on this path to madness as well. Great teacher, great fisherman, great guy. WTTM.

Awwwww.....thanks Nick.  another guy I gotta go fishing with soon.

So brothers and sisters.....Joe lives in Alameda and needs some fishing partners up that way.  He completely knows how to fish for our species already and was completely comfy on the yak.  Get him out there!!

I tried to take gopros yesterday, but had the thing pointed too far up all I got was my rod tip sheesh....but we did get limits of decent RF out front of MBK.  comfy fishing with super light rods and Abu's=  pretty fun!

If you like the Delta and fish weekdays hit me up. I fish for anything that swims in the delta.

Welcome aboard and to the madness Joe.

Allen started out lots of us here including me.  If your trajectory is anything like mine, you will find yourself fishing more than ever, enjoying it more than ever.  Even the skunks!  Oh and your local fish market will wonder why sales are down

FYI,
tons of stripers in the delta right now.  Mostly smaller ones up to 3 pounds, but tons of them.  Bigger ones should be in soon.  I caught about 50 last Saturday.  I was in a boat, I haven't got my kayak yet, but I am selling all my other toys so I can get one.
