Hi there, I'm a probie here. New to kayak fishing , I'm in Santa Cruz but looking to fish all around the bay area. I'm currently looking for a kayak and have my eyes set on a Kracken. Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to getting out on the water.
Happy to be here, Jason

Kayak Connection in Santa Cruz and Moss landing has a nice variety of kayak models (Ocean Kayak, Hobie, Wilderness Systems, Jackson etc) you can check out...

The owner Dave Grigsby is a member on here and a super nice guy.

Best of luck!

Welcome to the madness!

There's some great kayak fishing in your back yard...
