Hello all. Got a new wilderness Yak 100. Lovin it so far. New to fishing from it but its been fun. Learning a lot from this site. Was nervous the first time out at the Sac Port. Thanks to the person in the Yellow yak at the launch ramp for the minnows and the tips and most of all for not making me feel like such a newb. Forgot your name but it was much appreciated. Learning more each time out!

Welcome to the madness! By the way, that was me in the yellow yak. Enjoy your new ride and see u otw. I'm not a local, but there's a lot of locos on the board that are willing to share their port knowledge.

Hey Jonathan. Thanks again for the help. I had a blast my first time out and im starting to get my yak all tricked out. I will post a pic of my first catch on the yak soon. Caught a few and released a few the following week after a couple times of nothing. Hoping one day I can also pay it forward to someone else like you did for me.
