Hi all! My name is Dan.

I don't have a yak yet but I can't wait to get one. Really looking forward to hitting the ocean, lake and deltas. Super tired of getting skunked from the bank!

Hi Dan,

I joined for the exact same reason!  We have a tandem kayak in the family, but I've been spending my time collecting gear and trying to convince the Wifey that I need a dedicated kayak for fishing.  I recommend reading the Safety Forum... TONS of great info there.

See ya on the water

Welcome aboard Dan.  I got into kayak fishing for the exact same reason.  Bank fishing just wasn't cutting it for me anymore.

See you around.

If you ain't first, you're last.

Welcome to the madness Dan.. Fishing is going to be great once you get a kayak!
