Welcome. This is addictive, not this site, the sport. Our posting on this site, our membership, and the friendships we make here and on the water are the opposite of an AA meeting. We are all full fledged practicing addicts. We come here to celebrate our personal victories, and commiserate over our losses.

IMO you need to:

1. Identify your target species.
2. Decide on where you will fish.
3. If you are on a budget, identify the absolute minimum you will need to target those fish.
4. Learn your knots.
5. Get on the water.

This site has alot to offer but you will have to dig. Refrain from asking a question until you have done your due diligence, ie searching for previous posts. Many of us have been in your shoes and asked many of the questions I am sure you have racing through your head. Those posts are all here with many answers from the old pros. Dig them up. If you cannot find them, then ask. Your time on the water will expose you to other Kayakers who, for the most part, are approachable and willing to share their knowledge, this will fill in your gaps. See you on the water.

Again, welcome, and good luck.

Hey thanks & this is good advice. I appriciate it.

Oh, and getting on the water once and a while helps too!

Keep reading the threads on this site and you will learn a ton. Welcome!

Thanks & I will have alot to read this site is GREAT!!!!
