Man, I don’t know why I haven’t participated here. I’ve e been fishing out of a kayak for 4 years now... here in Monterey Bay. I’ve learned a lot on my own and through watching YouTube. But definitely would like to learn a lot more! Local school teacher on spring break, and pretty much locked down due to the pandemic, I’ve got time on my hands. And motivation! (Firstl, should say I’m glad I didn't get booted for inactivity. If there’s an admin here reading this, I just tried to register again—then thought to just sign in—sorry for any extra work or confusion!) Now that the rockfish season is open (been out once), I’m stoked for another season. In fact, I’ve about got my wife on board with buying a new yak. I definitely want to get into a Hobie. Will be looking for advice what model is best for MB, Central and Nor Cal Coast. Looking forward to being an active member here, finally! Thanks to all the people who started this and keep it running!
