Noob kayaker

Hey everyone my names Sophann and I just purchased my first fishing kayak and am loving it so far. Ive been mainly trout fishing, and took it out my first time to the AR this past weekend for salmon..no fish but still had a blast. Met a fellow yakker that told me about this website. Hopefully i can learn some tips from u guys about this new kayak world i just entered!

Welcome I'm sure you will enjoy being a member and make many friendships here.

WTTM!  I'm up in Folsom and would fish with you anytime.  There's a tourney this Sunday at Folsom lake, you should come out and meet some people.

Thanks guys, ill have to take u on that offer one day folsomfishing. Id love to check out one of those meet ups..but its tough to get out on sundays when theres football!

Welcome.  Sundays are for fishing, not football.  Well,  in my case, most days are for fishing.

Hey Sophann

Glad you got set up on the site.  See you on the water.

Once the American River bite stabilizes a bit I'll show you the night fishing routine.

Heey i think i can make that event on the 21st weimarian! Thanks monterey jack, i need to invest in some rod leashes. Is a paddle leash necessary?

Paddle leash is Very necessary. Once you drop your paddle on a windy day while reeling in a big fish how are you gonna retrieve it when you drift away from it (unless you have a hobie). I prefer rod floats over leashes. Try to keep your leashes at a minimum.

I agree about the paddle leash being more important than the rod leash.  Help me out, Herb, what's a rod float & how can I get one?  I lost a rod/reel & leash just this week while switching pole positions, unleashed for less than 5 seconds.  Sounds like a rod float would have saved it.  Thanks
