Hey guys whats up, Im Kayla! Ive been hooked on fishing my whole life! Ive spent the last 20 years on the bank and recently got a kayak so id appreciate any tips you can throw my way to help my transition more enjoyable! I also used to only fish for trout... I have only in the last year discovered all the fun in pursuing different species so any Bass tips or tips on any fish would be incredible!!! So excited to learn more and have fun doing it! Have fun, Be Safe, and Tight Lines!!!

Welcome to the madness, now start reading  :smt003( J/K), there is TONS of info. on this site to digest. Please read safety forums first and then fishing forums. Good luck & tight lines..........
Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.

We all started out fishing from shore, then you get a kayak and the whole sport changes. The NCKA sactown crew are among the best anglers in NCAL. Headwaters has a lecture series which is well worth attending. You will meet the central valley NCKA at those events as well as in the hookups section. Welcome to NCKA.
