I finally got around to signing up, after a year of lurking around. I've been fishing off and on for almost my entire life, and recently got my GF (YaketyYak) into the sport. She dove right in, and loved the idea of getting a pair of kayaks to fish from. We shopped around for months and finally decided on some new Native Manta Ray 12s from Headwaters in Lodi. We bought them in July, been on the water a handful of times, and have loved every minute of it! We've learned why you guys call it "The Madness". We've truly become obsessed with the sport.

We mostly fish fresh water, but will build up the courage and skill to hit the salt eventually. I hope!

We look forward to contributing, and seeing you guys out there.

Thanks everybody!!!

Paddleboy84- Thanks, you knew it was just a matter of time. Haha

Sonoramike- I wish I could, it sounds like a fun event. Unfortunately I already have a little camping trip to Mod. Res. planned. I'll keep an eye for the next one...
