Greetings from a new member on the peninsula

Greetings anglers. I’m Matt.

I stumbled upon this site while searching for kayaks for sale. I recently went fishing with a few friends for the first time using one of their kayaks for a weekend. What a great experience it was. Just being out on the water just cruising around and fishing. It got me wanting one of my own to get out on the water. I’m a total novice when it comes to fishing and I’m lookin forward to learning more about it.

I used to go fishing with my dad from time to time when I was a kid in our family boat but it’s been a long time since then.

What’s up Matt—let me know when you get a yak, I’d be happy to fish Pacifica with ya.

Hi Matt welcome to NCKA

Welcome M6.7.

Welcome to NCKA Matt.   

Welcome to our community Matt 

Thanks guys. I’ve been looking at inflatables recently since storage at the house is already a premium. Something somewhat entry level to start with.

Any recommendations?

I’d be happy to fish Out of Pacifica. I’m lucky enough to have the beach less than a 5 min drive from my house. Sadly I haven’t taken advantage of that yet.

I doubt that an inflatable will be a good long-term solution.

Welcome to the community, Matt.   

I doubt that an inflatable will be a good long-term solution.

I agree with NM.  Fish spines, hooks and launch/landing are all potentially fatal hazards for an inflatable.

Someone was just selling a used OK Scupper Pro on here cheap.  Keep your eyes peeled for deals, and go test out some SOT kayaks at demo days or where a shop will allow it.  If you start with something too cheap you'll be back to buy a better one before long = most peoples' experience.  Go get something with high potential = my advice.  You sound like you've got the bug - kayak fishing is addicting and so very enjoyable to many of us.

Best of luck~
