Newbie's Intro

Hi, may name is George, I am a fisherman and I wish to say a few things before I begin the twelve step program (but I will tell you now, it is a lost cause).

First, I guess(?) I'm not so swift with these Internet Forumalities! I thought I had introduced myself by posting a pic or 2 in that part of the Introductions section, but apparently(?) I can say more here, so ditch this post if you don't like reading my CO2 and go find my picture.

Being born in San Francisco was fortunate, so fishing is not new to me as I started very young. Fishing in the surf, crabbing from piers, and venturing out on swarays on party boats with my dad in the SF and Santa Cruz areas, with occasional trips up to Mendocino/Ft. Bragg on the north coast. I target many species from minnows to blue fin from Belize to Alaska.

Have owned 6 or seven boats in my career however, I obtained a kayak (a used Cobra Fish n' Dive) about 5 months ago. Prior to the kayak, I have fished from a small Zodiac with a motor for the past couple of years. Currently, I am trying to get used to paddling and its working OK for now.

Hope to see some of you out on the water.

Welcome George! You've come to the right place.

Welcome, George!  You should put the link to your blog on your signature line - I'd like to check it out.

Have fun adjusting to kayakfishing - you'll never be the same!

I've seen some of your artwork on CCKF and I have to say: it's amazing! Not sure how many glass blowers we have on NCKA, but I am sure everybody will appreciate your work. http://www.izodout.blogspot.com

Welcome to the madness George.  That is some really cool artwork.   Glass blowing seems so much fun, always wanted to try it...but for different type of art.   

See you on the water sometime.

Thank you Pat! I "think?" I affixed the URL to my sig line. Maybe you can remove it (the URL & pic) from your post above? I appreciate it, TIA.

Welcome to the madness George!!

Amazing work!  Welcome to the Madness!

Welcome George to the best group of "yak addicts" on the planet!

Hey everyone! New to the sport, hoping to pick up a used kayak before ground fishing starts up in May. Only fished tuna and salmon from power boats in Oregon, looking forward to the new challenges. I will be the one upside down in kayak with a lost rod and tangled in my lines. Say Hi after your done laughing.

Your artwork is amazing!
