new kayaker here

hello all,
been fishing all my life but new to the sport of kayak fishing. Just picked up a Malibu Stealth 12 and starting to get all my necessary gear. I'm from the peninsula and hoping to meet up with some folks to show me the ropes. I want to learn as much safety and fishing knowledge as possible as mother nature can be unforgiving. I'm primarily a saltwater guy. hoping to learn to fish the bay for flatties and stripers. But also excited about lings and salmon too.
hope to hear from some good folks!

Jeff

Welcome...fasten your seatbelt and tighten that chin strap, the learning curve is addicting and frustrating and fruitful

Welcome to NCKA Jeff.

Welcome to NCKA.  Maybe see you up north sometime. 

Welcome to NCKA

Thanks all! I appreciate the welcome. If anybody had the patience and time to talk, hang out and even willing to take out a newbie on the water, I'd appreciate it. I'm a good person to know and have in their network.

Thanks

Jeff

Safety first!

There are a lot of us who fish out of Santa Cruz, in case you're ever down this way.

Welcome.     Once you hit 10 posts and we see that you are not a robot (  ) you will have access to a lot of info. Then try using the search engine on the right top hand corner. Plenty of safety and gear info !

thank you. and yes, safety first. that's why I won't go alone. mother nature is unforgiving. I know I should start off on the 'bunny slopes' but I don't do fresh water fishing. I've fished the surf and bay all of my life. I'd like to get in with anybody who fishes HMB or any areas near Linda Mar if anybody is near. I'd like to eventually do Santa Cruz as well.
All I have is my kayak, seat and paddle so far. And of course, my fishing gear/tackle.
still need all the safety stuff, i.e. life vest, radio and anything else that I'll need.
If anybody has a package deal on any stuff, shoot me a message!

thanks Alex!

Welcome, Jeff.

thanks Hojoman!

what type of fishing do you do? salt?

Safe yourself, quit before you can't get out ....

thanks! I'm already hooked. spent too much, can't turn back now.
