Hi, new kayak angler here.

Living in the Sacramento area and picked up an older Wilderness Systems Tarpon 140 about a month ago.

I've done a little bit of exploring in my immediate area on local lakes and the barge access, but I'm figuring to explore further out as time allows.

Good to hear! I picked it up knowing very little and seem to have gotten pretty darn lucky.  I've been told it goes quick but have nothing to compare it to.
