New Member here - SF resident

Hi All,

New member here living in SF, my name is Pasha. I've been checking out this site for a while and I've wanted to join, so I am finally making that happen!

A little bit about me as a kayak fisherman:

- My kayak: I own a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 100. No doubt on the smaller side, but I am very happy with her. Had it for years and I enjoy making custom accessories to use on the SlideTrax system. (photos attached)

- What I like to kayak fish for: I am limited (due to the size of my boat) to stay very near-shore in saltwater, so I have only been doing crab pot drop+retrieves lately. In freshwater, I predominately target trout, but of course will fish for bass and whatever else is willing to bite.

- New things I would like to get into: I want to learn how to kayak fish the Bay better. Hoping to build my skills targeting Stripers and Halibut.

- Why I joined NCKA: mostly for knowledge sharing and connecting with other kayak fishers. Most of my buddies relegate themselves to shore fishing or paying for charter boats, and as we all know, it's not wise to kayak alone!

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Tight Lines,

Pasha
