new to this forum

Hi guys. I'm new to this site and was refered here by someone I met by putting an add on craigslist looking for help to get into this sport. I am an avid fisherman of both salt and fresh water but my dream is to break into kayak angling as a full time sport and pastime. I live in Newport Beach and do most of my fishing there and out of Dana Point. I am comfortable on a yak but have not had the opporitunity to test my skills at angling from one. I'm in the market for a yak that will accommodate my needs at the moment and look to pick one up this weekend. The kayak I have in my sights right now is a malibu extreme that has already been modified by the previous owner for ocean fishing. I have read the pros and cons from a ton of online reviews and I feel this one would suit me well. I've read into the safety measures that need to be taken before pursuing this sport and am prepaired to take the plunge. I guess the last thing I need is a good group of guys to go out with since I don't think going it alone is all to wise untill I become a bit more seasoned. I have no problem being the "newb" and paying my dues. I just want to learn and follow my dream. Well.. cheers and bent rods to all......

Thanks guys. That sounds like an awesome rig he's got for sale. A little outside of my budget at the moment. I've been doing the craigslist search and found some really sick deals. Malibus, cobras and wilderness systems seem to be the brands I've liked as far as price and reviews go.
