Hello Everyone,
I’m fairly new on Ocean Kayaking and looking to have some local connections to go fishing and for safety.
Been fishing mostly Lakes and in the Bay. Can’t wait to meet some you guys in the water.

Introductions: I’m just getting into kayak fishing (have fly fished quite a bit), and I have gone out twice solo and had a blast.  I’m trying to find a way to meet up with other people fishing in or near the Bay, Tomales, Bodega, Baker Beach, Pacifica, etc...  I would love to learn from more experienced kayak anglers re: techniques and gear (currently my gear is on the budget/homemade end of the spectrum but I’m planning on steady upgrades). I do have a Garmin 4cv fishfinder and a decent marine radio. I just put my first spool of braided line into my bait caster. In my very short kayak career I’ve caught shakers, guitarfish, a leopard and a sand shark, but I really really want to catch a king salmon before they head upstream!  It would be great to know when/where others are going out for safety, if nothing else (I won’t be a pest). Is there a ‘meet up’ forum or group fishing calendar on this site?  Thanks in advance for any advice.

you might want to make your own post for your introduction, and reply to the people who welcome you!  once you get 10 posts, there is a member's only section that opens up where a lot of hookups are posted.  Pretty much any day out in pacifica you'll find some kayaks, especially on the weekend. Rockaway Beach/Linda Marr.

I live just up the freeway from you, I fish in Pacfica, And other spots on the San Mateo coast quite frequently, if you can fish a Sunday/Monday and the weather isn't too bad hit me up.
