Welcome...fasten your seatbelt and tighten that chin strap, the learning curve is addicting and frustrating and fruitful

Welcome to NCKA.  Maybe see you up north sometime. 

Thanks all! I appreciate the welcome. If anybody had the patience and time to talk, hang out and even willing to take out a newbie on the water, I'd appreciate it. I'm a good person to know and have in their network.

Thanks

Jeff

I want to learn as much safety and fishing knowledge as possible as mother nature can be unforgiving.

Safety first!

There are a lot of us who fish out of Santa Cruz, in case you're ever down this way.

thank you. and yes, safety first. that's why I won't go alone. mother nature is unforgiving. I know I should start off on the 'bunny slopes' but I don't do fresh water fishing. I've fished the surf and bay all of my life. I'd like to get in with anybody who fishes HMB or any areas near Linda Mar if anybody is near. I'd like to eventually do Santa Cruz as well.
All I have is my kayak, seat and paddle so far. And of course, my fishing gear/tackle.
still need all the safety stuff, i.e. life vest, radio and anything else that I'll need.
If anybody has a package deal on any stuff, shoot me a message!

Welcome, Jeff.

Safe yourself, quit before you can't get out ....
