Hey guys!

My name is Sam and I'm from Redding. I've been a long time fisher (as I'm sure we all have) and I decided I wanted to start getting out on the water and hitting some new fishing spots. Just starting to shop around, and I'm pretty seriously looking at picking up a Hobie Mirage or a Jackson Cuda. I fish mostly Shasta, Whiskeytown and Baum lake as far as lakes go, but I go over to Humboldt every couple of weeks and once I get some experience under my belt I'd love to start fishing off trinidad or shelter cove.

Anyways, I've been browsing on here for a few months and decided I'd take the plunge and get to know and pick the brains some of ya'll.

Regards,


-Sam

Howdy and welcome Sam  :smt006

Plenty of guys up here to get out local with. I don't get over to the salt as much as I like and not the best brain to pick for that,  but I know our waters here pretty dang good. Post a hookup or keep your eye out!

Hi Sam

looking forward to seeing some posts

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

Welcome and tight lines Sam!  Shoot me a message if you have any Hobie related questions or want to try any of them out on the water.
