Hi all,

I was referred to your website from Billy at Wind Toys here in Santa Rosa due to my interest in inshore/offshore fishing. I’ve done fishing from kayak on a friends boat and found it more productive than charter boat.

I just purchased a Hobie Mirage Outback 2020 in January 2020 and taking it to Spring Lake here in Santa Rosa to get accustomed to it and figure out how I want to set up my boat.

Any advice is welcomed. I have invested in a VHF radio, Farmer Johns, neoprene boots, etc. will be taking the free open deck self rescue clinic held by Monterey Bay Kayaks on March 7, 2020.
