fng Introduction

Hello all!  I have been lurking on this site for a while now. I guess this is when I introduce myself. I have been paddling for about ten years on and off. I am currently paddling a 17ft wooden sink that I built many years ago. I am also a fan of float tubes. I am being swayed over to fishing on a kayak made for fishing. Fishing from a narrow wooden kayak is extremely awkward to say the least. I live in Auburn and love to fish the mountain lakes around here but I would also like to try my hand at some of your saltwater and delta trips. I l also just finished my own 1/4 acre bass bluegill pond...a minnow trap or two and I shouldn't need to buy minnows. I grew up on the Mendocino coast so I am no stranger to that. My wife and I went to see Victor and Dan down at Headwaters “ great guys and great service” and am ready to pull the trigger on either a Jackson Big Tuna or Cuda. I look forward to meeting all of you on the water when I get outfitted.

Welcome to the addiction

1/4 acre pond?  Sounds like you have a very large backyard!   

Welcome to the madness!

I just had an awesome idea.  You live in Auburn, and I live in Auburn.  You have a 1/4 acre bass pond, and I am looking for a 1/4 acre bass pond to fish.....

If you ever need a carpool to the coast, gimme a shout.

Welcome David.  I wold like to know about your llama's.  I am real big into back country fly fishing and was wondering do you own your own or do you rent them?

Welcome post some pics of your kayak and pond. Hope to see you at a event sometime.

GET TO TIKI (see events tourny's tab) THIS WEEKEND!!!!! Even if you don't fish... Gonna be an awesome time and you can meet a lot of folks;..,. Have I met you before? I remember a big wood yak??!! Sac crew is growing!!! I have a breeding set of Pond fish (4) all parasite free and ready to safely fill a pond with bass growth supplement...

Welcome to the NCKA Family. It was great to meet you and  your wife the other day at the shop. Looking forward to fishing with you soon.

What kind of minnows do you have in your pond?

I would check the regs before using your pond minnows elsewhere... We wouldn't want to spread invasives.

@ATD
I just finished the pond so it's not ready for fishing just yet. The minnows that I stocked are fathead minnows

All I have right now are grass eaters. I used to guide pack trs with them. I have been thinking of getting a couple of packers again...still have all the gear

Pack trips

@weimarian
I am going to try to make it to tiki, not sure if it's in the cards though. I only have a few bass in there till the bluegill spawn in the spring
