Hello all and a big thanks to the webmaster, hosts, mods and staff for putting this site up and maintaining it.

First off, I am not quite in your neighborhood but reside a couple of states to the east in the high mountain desert climate of Utah. Am an Army Brat by upbringing so SoCal was a childhood residence and Crescent City is a favorite vacation place.

Currently, I am on my 3rd yak, an Ocean Kayak after selling both of my Cobras. I am shopping for another  and this time most likely a pedal model. Either a Mirage drive or a Propel model. So I joined up here and another site back east to see what info I could glean to assist my purchasing decision.

Here in Utah, I yak fish for the largest species present...the lowly and very underestimated and never appreciated Carp. My largest capture was an IGFA world record .....for nearly a month during which time it was broken twice during the registration process. Grrrr... Oh well it's about the fishing anyway.

I also fish in Alaska annually (16 consecutive trips) for salmon, rockfish and halibut and just this year now have an Ocean Kayak stored there on the island where I fish.
I will probably be more of a reader/lurker just gathering intel on your adventures with the next yak purchase in mind. Leaning towards a Hobie OB atm.

So that about does it.

Tight lines and best fishes!

Steve
