Hello all,

Im Mike, a 45 year old father of two. I'm an outdoors junkie; I hunt from July to January, then fish during the off season.

I've fished all my life in all sorts of vessels including canoes, small boats, big boats, float tubes and more. I spent a day fishing and crabbing out of Half Moon Bay (no fish and 4 undersized crab) with a friend in a borrowed kayak and have pretty much lost my mind. I'm obsessed with getting into some lings from a kayak. I've been pouring over reports, launching places, tackle, and more.

I'm glad to have found this place. Browsing as a guest has been super helpful.

Then you'll be right at home around here. Welcome to the madness!

WTTM, still trying to draw a moose tag so I can put it on my kayak, used to hunt everything edible with every legal weapon. Wife and self employment slow me down
