therefore I cant show pics!  lol...but I will be a rigging fool for sure...if anything like the tin boat, im going to have a blast laying this out!

I cant wait!  Thanks to all you guys.... Jason B!!!.  looking forward, I cant tell you all how thrilled I am not to be towing anything or filling up that hemi!  looking forward to getting involved.  If I get to do it half as much as I hope I will be thrilled.  Im figuring rockfishing, crabbing tomales, or butts in the bay!  Im crazy enough to want some berry kokes too!

Thanks for having this place!  I'm sure, no, I know I will have lots of questions!  The epitome of a newbie, right here!

You speak for me WildRide. A kayak is the place to be is it not?

Welcome aboard.  I'd go out fishing/paddling a couple times before I start drilling holes.  That way you will have a better idea of exactly where you want stuff.

Oh, and for sure get a Radio and Wetsuit before hitting the salt.  Ask tons of questions, we've all been in the new guy position and asking is the only way to get things going.  See ya around!

Welcome WildRide,


Hope to do some fishing with you in the future.

Welcome dude.
Should be ten of u at the DWC tomorrow am. Come on out if u can!

Welcome aboard and to the madness WildRide 

Congradulations and welcome to the club!    What vehicle did you get that has 48mpg!??!?!

thanks for the welcomes! cant wait to go down there this morning and pick it up.  Appreciate the tips on VHF, suit and PFD.  Searching the boards here trying to figure out what i want so i only have to buy it once, lol.
well, the mpg thing.....I bought a freaking prius simply for work and back, gave myself damn near a 300$ a month raise in gas only....hemi to a prius, lol...luckily, my balls are still attached after all of that trauma.

Hahahhaahah! I'm rollin a cabriolet so a prius will be ok in this group. Need some cool fishing stickers though to separate you from the "OTHERS" that drive them... Get out to some events and have fun... I'm sill getting rid of boats. Kayaks are awesome. So quiet and NO GAS BILL OR BRAKE DOWNS... See ya OTW

Welcome to the boards. Lots of good times in your future.

Welcome Wildride!  Definitely do some searching on the boards and ask anything you can't find answers to.   Everyone is extremely courteous and helpful and you will get the answers you need.

Anyhow, you're gonna love it...the kayak and the NCKA community!  Buying a kayak and joining NCKA has got to be one of the best decisions I've made in a long time!

Hope to see you OTW one of these days.

Welcome!!!

If you're a friend of Jason's you must be a good guy.

 

Looking forward to meeting you out on the water!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Welcome!

welcome aboard!
From a North River to a WS Ride (my yak as well) will be something of an adjustment for sure!  But when I see those guys trolling at 1.1mph in the middle of Folsom right next to me, and I have to slow down to match them...well, I smile real big   

Be sure to try to hook up with RacinRob and ATD if you want to fish 4 days a week out of Sac...

And this weekend is Crabfest in Bodega, Perfect for a NOOB !!!
